herbal products......good or bad?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I'm still in the search for answers. Does anyone know if

taking herbal products are good or bad for someone with Chiari? I

remember reading somewhere that it was not a good idea for people with

Chiari to take products with Ginseng in them, but I'm not sure if it

was from this group. I'm not yet sure whether I have Chiari, but

didn't want to take a chance on using herbal products that could make

symtpoms worse until I find out.

If anyone has any info. on pros or cons of herbal products I would love

to hear from you. I was taking an herbal product last year that seemed

to drastically reduce my symptoms of chronic fatigue; and I began

feeling much worse almost immediately upon stopping the product. I've

been trying to

figure out if it was really working that well or if it was a

coincidence. I've been considering trying this again, but want to

educate myself more on herbal products.

Does anyone know anything on this subject? Have any of you tried this

avenue to alleviate symptoms? What was your experience, good or bad?

Thanks for any input you can offer.
