Red root and nausea / upset stomach

Not sure. I took full droppers of red root and never noticed anything from it for better or worse. I would stop it. Wait until you feel better and try again. If the same thing happens next time, then you might be allergic or something.

Do you have swollen lymph nodes? It’s supposed to help lymphatic drainage. If you’re nodes are swollen or hard, then I suppose it could be a detox reaction.

i get mild to moderate herx symptoms from taking red root tincture

i guess because its a strong astringent herb with lots of tannins - some will just be more sensitive to it than others

i would do as suggested above - take a break and try again

even if it is causing a negative reaction you can often start low and work up - i have done this with several herbs and think it has helped overall.
