I am a strong advocate of natural, healthy foods and the use of herbs. One very important thing though, if you are taking any prescribed medication at all from your doctor, you must check with either the doctor or a qualified pharmacist before taking any herbal supplements.

Unfortunately, I take many strong prescription drugs daily, as I have a disease called Systemic Lupus. There are many supplements and herbs (and indeed some healthy stuff like alfalfa sprouts!) which I cannot take as this would compromise my health further. I also have to stay out of the sun and not use sunlamps as two of the drugs on my "list" cause hypersensitivity to light. The upside is....no lying by the pool anymore...but I can quilt to my heart's content!

Hope you find something that eases your discomfort and makes you feel better.
