Acne Rosacea: [rosacea] Re: supplements

elena,

silly me! i mistyped. the herb is Hu Zhang (Polygonum cuspidatum),
also known as tiger root. it's a common source of resveratrol in
supplements. i believe the resveratrol is more concentrated in this
root than it is in red wine.

heart, anxiety like crazy, throwing up...........bad stuff. I'm leary
