I have been on the Full Body Cleanse for 3 - 4 days now & I have noticed that I have more acid reflux symptoms. I want to continue with the program as I feel as it would help me to become much healthier. I have been to a homeopathic doctor & he indicated senna leaves are not the best thing for me to use. I may not have had the right grade senna leaves tablet at the time too. Any suggestions?

All of our products are well-proportioned, so the senna leaves will not be a problem. The senna is well balanced for optimal benefit. Excess acid reflux means your body is adjusting to the cleanse. You are very acidic and the herbs are alkaline. Healing is taking place. Keep with your cleanse! Please read "Are Herbs Safe To Take?".

My 6 month old has an extreme case of a topic dermatitis. What products would you recommend?

Because your baby is so young, we don't carry anything that he/she can take internally. But we do carry Oxy Oil, which is great for all skin types. Make sure to use products with little to no perfume. Perfume contains alcohol which can dry out and irrate sensative skin.

I have suffered from depression and antidepressants were not helpful. However, I have tried your Nerve Formula and it is Wonderful! Are there any other capsule formula that you offer for depression?
