Thanks Huguenot, someone speaks sense at last. And I'd quite like people to reflect on these.. "Chamomile is herbal never has been pharmaceutical.I love the retaliation on this thread.The higher the ignorance the nastier the comments.Leave therapies alone,oh ignorant ones,do no make comments on something you clearly have no knowledge of. -------------- Ignore him Monica..."* as a response to this "Forgive me for my righteous ways. As it goes, chamomile, it's a pharmaceutical with known properties. How is that different to aspirin in any way shape or form?" Which doesn't strike me as particularly nasty. I was merely pointing out that unless you're eating freshly picked chamomile, then you're preparing it for a medicinal purpose**, and that is pharmaceutical. Are you perhaps getting dessicated chamomile, then using it as a solution in hydrogen hydroxide to which you apply heat and perhaps some crystalline disaccharide? I'm still loving the fact that this thread is entitled enemies of reason. Stand up and be counted ;-P *Thanks MW, I'll remember that. ** I don't, I just quite like the taste. If it's helping detoxify and settle stomachs, all the better.
