Pt is a smoker (tried many times to stop), his diet: red meat daily, potatoes, cabbage, bananas and pears, 2 teas a day. Marked abdominal obesity, otherwise healthy, keeping down 2 jobs. 6 yrs ago pt went to GP who thought he had a 'touch of Parkinson' and prescribed some pills, which pt stopped taking after 2 doses due to severe side-effects. In the past pt said alcohol made his shakes better but the drinking and gambling nearly ruined his life. So tinctures are a no no and I have given him tablets: carduus, gingko and Mediherb vitanox (vitis, curcuma, rosmarinus, camaelia). If anybody has used any other herbs which could symptomatically alleviate the tremor, eg hyoscamus (Bartram), please let me know and I could try and order them in powder form to make capsules. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Elsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
