Q: The herb, "artemisia asiatica" is supposed to be good at curing gastric reflux. Where can I buy it?
And, if you know anything about this herb, can you tell me if all "wormwood" is the same stuff? For instance, artemisinin is also called "wormwood" but it seems to be a different plant than artemisia asiatica - am I wrong? And what about artemisia annua - that's wormwood too, right? What is that? Help me find the right stuff here...
A: I haven't heard of that, but I did read that d-limonene, a component in orange peel, works. I tried it and it knocked the reflux out COLD, no kidding. It's under a few names--mine is "Heartburn Relief" and I found it at a health food store. It's $25 for 10 pills, which you take every other day for 20 days. BUT it works. Try it!
