Before I read that materia medica stuff itself, I was doubting the suggestion and then it was confirmed that the advice is not well intended. I too am a homeopath, Bach Flower healer and have knowledge of many other healing techniques including Reiki etc.

If you don't mind, can you share a little more info about yourself and why the herb was recommended to you? God bless you.
