Referring to my last post. Why doesn't anyone study these? So many medicines have come from plants. If these herbs are of genuine benefit, then we should study them properly so they can be introduced into 'conventional' medicine.

Suzanne, I'm not anti-alternative medicine. In fact, a chinese herbalist cured my eczema when numerous conventioanl physicians couldn't. But it is important that we study them properly. Not only to descriminate between which methods actually work and which ones don't, but also to determine side-effects, dosage, and teratogenicity.

I would love to do a proper study on this. I can think of a number of good midwives and doctors who would also be keen. I'm also sure that the industry would fund it.

I think you need to host a chat on this. But please wait until I have worked out how they work!

I am posting a question for you on the woman's health forum.
