I went looking through some great resources from some courses I did while
studying for THE exam.  While working on Breast Ed's course #8 we were
learning about "drugs" (either pharmaceutical or herbal).  One of the web
sites that I visited dealt a great deal with herbals.  It gave LOTS of
information about them.

I hope this information is helpful

part of pregnancy and now postpartum period with a severe flare-up of
ulcerative colitis. She has delivered and is successfully breastfeeding but
would like to go back on some supplements that she says really helped her

(many) ingredients are as follows.
