Dear All,

I've a friend who works in the field of complementary medicine and I was discussing with her how she treats IBS patients at the clinic where she works. The herbal and plant remedies she prescribes include the following herbal mixture, to be taken at a dose of 5ml three times daily after meals:

� Dandelion Root (to tone and encourage movement in the bowel)
� Liquorice Root (to ease bowel movements, support the nervous system and increase energy levels)
� Chamomile (to ease the stomach discomfort and nausea, and to act a gentle bitter digestive tonic)
� Fennel (to disperse gas and cleanse the colon)
� Skullcap (to support the nervous system and reduce headaches)

Putting aside my own scepticism, for the moment, I'd be interested to hear any thoughts/experiences you have on the above.

Best wishes
