Multiple Chemical Sensitivities

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

A new client has arrived claiming " multiple chemical sensitivities "

which were set off by the discovery of a pernicious kind of black

mold in her basement. She has been to another acupuncturist/herbalist

who had given her a formula which created hives, problematic

breathing, and other symptoms of her Mult. Chem. Sensitivity. She is

reluctant to give herbs another try, and I am unschooled in the

drying/preparation and other preserving aspects of the herbal

formulas I use. Is there any advice out there for me?

 

My own history as an herbalist is that I have depended on American/

British production standards/distributors. I recall Ted Kaptchuk

teaching us: " Don't buy herbs from anyone you can't sue. " While that

has been my motto til now, I find it of little solace when thinking

of giving herbs to this woman for whom a " mistake " could create a

great deal of misery.

 

Thanks for your advice,
