I'm posting this because some of us use herbs to help our headaches. This was posted on another board I frequent, so I figured I may as well post it here.

Make sure your regular doctors know what all herbs you take, just as you would let them know what all medications you're on.

Hope this is useful to someone.

Recent research has contradicted that theory. And I haven't seen much info on SJW and corticosteroids, but the most recent study showed that SJW does not have much effect on prednisone:

The outer boundary of what we currently believe is feasible is far short of what we actually must do.
