What herbs and botanicals are best after 50?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These can: If you do use medicinal herbs, be sure to tell your doctor as some herbs can interfere with certain medications. Ginkgo for example has a reputation as a memory booster and it does seem useful with improving short-term memory when taken over a period of months. But it can interact with anticonvulsants antidepressants and blood thinners. Horsetail can be useful in the treatment of incontinence.
