Weeds & Seeds Swap

One of the harder lessons I learned in my early days of suggesting herbs for medicinal use was with a dear lady that had her blood pressure under control. She had asked me to get something for her that I had used successfully for a health problem, and I got it for her. One of the herbal ingredients in the list was Licorice Root. I did not know at the time that it could increase blood pressure in some people, and this is just what happened to this woman. This was many years ago, and thankfully, she was a kind and forgiving person, but I learned a great lesson that day, which lead to my doing more research and gaining more knowledge about what I was sharing.

Some say that if you need to use Licorice Root, you should be taking Potassium with it if blood pressure is a concern.  Generally this is used to support the glandular system, I was taking it for a while myself to support my adrenal glands.  It is generally a tonic herb.
