I take the gel orally, although I have used it topically. I don't take the gelatin caps. Sometimes I mix it with a little applesauce. Mostly, though I just put some on a spoon and down it.
Re: Herbs. It really depends on my mood! I love dill, parsley, basil. Those usually appear, daily. I love Rosemary and thyme and french lavender and summer savory. I think I love to smell good things! My spirit literally needs the little infusion from nature.
I do notice that my hair grew faster when I ate sprouts, i.e. alfalfa, radish, mung bean, broccoli, mustard, baby onion. I was formerly a raw vegan prior to IBS and did my own sprouting. I also ate alot of sea veggies, then. Me and my passion for immature/miniature plants!!! Basically, now, I determine my intake of skins based on the day. I've been known to eat a whole bunch of herbs for lunch!!! Fear not, there is sf involved! Herbal tea or herbal soup? Herbal smoothie? Basically I consume a lot of chlorophyll.
I truly know that it improves my mood. It makes you look younger, too!
For anxiety, I take BUSPAR. Run a search on it. I highly recommend it for anxiety. I'm actually going out again. Everyday, I let myself venture beyond the cushioned prison of my fear. I meditate and I do yoga and I'm getting out for walks again. I take anti-convulsant drugs for epilepsy and bipolar disorder and steroids for asthma. By following a natural diet, I am symptom free of epilepsy. My MOOD, my depressiveness is better, too. Input relates to output!
I'll email you, later; You truly make a difference, Beth.
You're a regular IBS detective, and I suspect MUCH MORE THAN THAT!!!
