Cooling vs. warming herbs

by | Nov 1, 2006 | andrographis, Columns, Healing Lyme, Herbs | 0 comments

Dear Stephen,
I’ve been told that andrographis has a cooling nature according to Chinese medicine theory. I am not supposed to take cooling herbs, but I can only assume that it is OK to take the andrographis, since I haven’t had problems with it (and there may not be too many alternatives to taking regular antibiotics).



Stephen’s response:
My system of treatment is rather different, so I tend to look for what works rather than hot and cold. If you tolerate it, no reason not to take it in my system.
Stephen

This protocol was incredible. After only a few weeks most of my symptoms were gone. After six months all my symptoms were gone… it has given me my life back.
