I have allergies to various plants that come and go with no warning. I know that, since I am allergic to daisies, I shouldn't use echinacea (not sure if I spelled that right -- extract of purple coneflower, anyway) and ought to be careful with chamomile. When I was a child, my mother tried to 'cure' my hayfever by having me eat honey, and I almost died, so I'm more than a little worried about having another allergic reaction to herbal suppliments or natural treatments for illness, etc. However, I have some health problems that 'traditional' medicine doesn't offer an effective treatment for, and I'd like to at least explore some other options. Should I stay away from herbal remedies and look for something else?
(I'd really appreciate it if replies are NOT someone just trying to sell me something. I'm looking for answers, not advertisments.)
