Starflower Oil
« on: January 12, 2015, 09:05:29 PM »

HI

Just started taking this to see if it will help stop me getting flushes and again and possibly help with anxiety? what can I take along with it that's safe, Im paranoid since my gp told me to stop mixing different herbal stuff and that its dangerous, I do take bachs rescue remedy if Im starting to feel stressed but I also like a cup of camomile tea as find it very calming, are both ok to take with Starflower? x

Yes it is Karenina stop worrying.

Some herbs and vitamins can react with some medication such as taking St John's wort with ADs. Or eating grapefruit with certain drugs, this is what your GP was probably referring too.

Taking Starflower even with HRT is ok.

You are over thinking and causing yourself more anxiety Karenja x

Hi Karenja
I'm pretty sure it's St John's Wort that can cause problems when mixing it with some medications. I'm sure starflower oil will be fine with chamomile tea xxx
