Has anyone here found that their reactions to herbs change over time?
I was doing well on Symbioflor 2, until I ran out a few weeks ago. I decided to try Symbioflor 1, but didn't notice anything (good or bad) from it). After that, my adrenals crashed badly and I was noticing shortness of breath, weakness, poorer stress tolerance etc. I decided to rotate back onto Haritaki, since I've had a lot of success with the herb in the past; it would typically give me a robust physical improvement in 2-3 days.
However, after only a week, I'm experiencing chills, diarrhea and no real physical improvement; this is similar to how I felt on other herbs, e.g. Neem, Triphala etc.
I am wondering if perhaps the first time I tried the Haritaki I was experiencing a cortisol increase from it killing something off, which might explain why I felt better? Or, alternatively, if it's simply provoking a stronger die-off this time around. I know it's hard to guess with this kind of stuff, but it's disappointing when a 'stand-by' doesn't help anymore. I have some more Symbioflor-2, but am almost scared it won't help as much either.
