Hi everyone,

when is the best time to take herbs ... full or empty stomach?

I have always read to take on an empty stomach. I guess it helps to ensure better absorbtion? but I have also read that if it makes your stomach upset than you can take it with food.

So I guess the "best" way is once again--what works for you.
If it makes you sick to take them on an empty stomach, then the "best" way for YOU to take them would be after eating.

Hi Janie,every herb will come with its own specific directive so I would just follow whats "recommended" for each individual herb rather than a "one size fits all" policy unless that becomes too "complicated" due to hectic schedual,varied meal times ect.

A herbalist once told me either half an hour before eating or two hours after eating.

Having said that, I think taking herbs CONSISTENTLY is the most important thing.
