My LLMD has me working up to 1/4 tsp twice a day, not three times.. I haven't started it yet, but it sounds a little scary. Glad to know it hits bart that well though.

may i ask you to kindly share the place you bought houttyina from? i think it is great u herxed on it, the problem with herbs is the quality of the producers, i think many of the ones in the market are not good enough, not pure ebough or low yield crops. i now fully understand why buhner has that list of good vs bad vendors of herbs...

This is pretty common. The key is to start with lower doses, less frequent. And CAREFULLY but quickly work up to the optimal dose.

After you've given your body a rest, try taking only ONE dose, less than half of the 1/4t. with lots of water. Be sure to DETOX!

Once you feel somewhat stable on that dose, slowly try TWO doses but the same amount, etc. Work up like that.

A little herxing is to be expected but you want to avoid the extreme sx.

I am so glad to hear sleep found you and you found the root cause for why you felt like you did.

Big hugs, Peppermint Tea smile
