Japanese knotweed

Herb users. Has anyone had success WITHOUT using Japanese Knotweed? I really do not think that it is agreeing with me. I've felt so much worse since adding this in. Perhaps I'm just one of those that won't do well on this.

I think it's making me nauseous and just overall unwell. I know that it has estrogen properties perhaps that's what is not agreeing with me. When I started all the other herbs I didn't have this issue. I did take it this morning but I think I'm going to stop taking it for the remainder of the day and tomorrow and see how I feel. I'm taking 2 drops 3x a day. My gut instinct is saying that it is the JK. I'm thinking about trading that with the artemesia perhaps after a week or so. Traveler said that this can be taken continuously unlike the artemisinin and that the body does not build resistance to it.

And do be sure that you are doing all you can to detox well. Part of handling an herb well is good detoxing by the body and usually our bodies need extra help due to many possible factors.

But, if you find out that you truly don't respond well to it, Buhner says to use stephiana: buhnerhealinglyme.com/herbs/alternative-for-japanese-knotweed/

Thanks MM. I'm going to give it another try beginning tomorrow. My books arrive tomorrow so can't wait to delve in and see what Buhner says. I'm wondering why he gives Stephania as the alternative. It seems though most people are using JK instead of S.
