I can't seem to find any answers online for this. My husband takes Azilect and Carbidopa-Levodopa. Is it okay to drink tea with Valerian, St. John's Wart or Tilia flower? I have some very relaxing bedtime teas that i am afraid to give him.
I tried using lavender oil in a defuser as lavender is a calming agent and found out the hard way it did not work I broke out in a rash and I have used lavender for years. I am on Carbidopa-Levodopa I got the paperwork the druggist out and it does state discuss herbal products with your doctor before using them as they may cause side effects. I suggest talking to your husbands doctor after my reactions.
I don't think you are supposed to take St John's Wort with azilect. Please check.
Awesome! The pharmacist know way more about drugs and herbs than the Dr.s!
Honey helps with sleep? That is good to know!
I personally, as well as my aged mother (91) have ended up in the hospital because of a conflict with my meds and taking natural stuff together that were not compatible. So I get all the info now from my pharmacists b 4 taking anything. Better to be safe than sorry!!
I drink cannabis leaf tea with cannabis infused honey, works for me. But there are nights when sleep just does not come (like last nite) so I get up and take another tsp. of honey, and listened to meditative music geared specific to sleep! Finally fell asleep around 4 a.m.
