        Hi,

        I’m a new student and wondered if anyone had suggestions for herbs that could ease the struggles of withdrawal from narcotics.  Thanks

          Hi Linda!

          Welcome to the class! From my research, it looks like skullcap might be a great one to try.  Hope that’s helpful!

            Depends on the narcotic, but Lobelia has some properties that make addiction withdrawal easier

              My husband dips and would like to leave this bad habit behind. How much, what form, and how often should he take a recommended herb?

                  Lobelia helps with nicotine withdrawal. I would get it in powder form and throw it in a smoothie, but however you get it into him will be good

                          This article was is about the tobacco industry putting pyrazines in tobacco products to make them addictive.

                          I guess it seemed to me that if people knew what they were up against, it would help with trying to solve the problem of addiction.

                          Sorry I did not give an explanation of the link in the first place.

                      We talk about addiction in this lesson:

                      Nervous System II: Issues & Interventions

                      Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
