I have tried herbal medicines but they just make me feel worse, I think they probably don't mix well with the other tablets I take. Everyone should really get advice before taking any herbal medicine.

I take Hydroxyurea for ET. I was taking magnesium for more energy but stopped it when found out it is a laxative that was contributing to the disgusting diarrhea side effect I had this year when HU was increased. I am taking Turmeric right now with consent of internist, gastroenterologist and oncologist. It has no bad side effects for me and it may help with inflammation. Plus somewhere on this site I read it may help reduce platelets.
Adding this at a later date: I have taken a garlic pill and a ginger pill every morning for years. Several doctors have reviewed my regular supplements since I started having ET treated in 2022. None have seen a problem with garlic or ginger, but they are on the list in the article. I'll continue with them as I believe garlic helps with immunity and ginger with soothing of stomach.

I found herbal remedies take too long to work and sometimes they can't be mixed with chemical ones at all.

Make sure 2hat ever you add or subtract is discussed with your oncologist i take several vitamins d especially but be careful make sure they test yiur levels or you could get like I was last year toxic overdose and kidney stones

Don’t take any
