Directions
Take 1 capsule, 3 times daily, with meals.
Cautions
If you have water retention and swelling due to a weak heart or kidneys, do not use Horsetail.
Be sure to drink plenty of fluids while taking this herb.
Do not take Licorice if you have chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, or any disease that impedes the flow of bile from the liver. Avoid it also if you have abnormal muscle tension, poor kidney function, or low potassium levels in your blood.
When taken in high dosages for an extended period of time, Licorice Root may lead to excessive loss of salt from the blood, water retention, high blood pressure, and heart irregularities. Because of the possibility of these side effects, limit your use of Licorice to 6 weeks. The side effects disappear after the drug is discontinued.
Licorice can increase the potassium loss caused by the other drugs, such as diuretics that flush excess water from the body (Diuril, Zaroxolyn, others). This potassium loss can, in turn, increase your sensitivity to drugs containing digitalis, such as the heart medication Lanoxin.
Licorice may also increase the effects, and unwanted side effects, of steroid medications such as prednisone (Deltasone).
Do not take Licorice preparations during pregnancy.
May increase sun sensitivity, especially in fair skinned individuals.
Seek professional medical advise prior to taking this product, if you are taking any of the following medications, MAO-inhibiting anti-depressants, anti-coagulants, oral contraceptives, anti-epilepsy drugs, antiretroviral drugs (protease inhibitors) or immunosupressants.
Avoid Buckthorn if you have an intestinal obstruction, an acute inflammatory intestinal disorder such as Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, appendicitis, or any abdominal pain of unknown origin.
Not for use by children under 12.
Buckthorn can cause abdominal pain or discomfort. If it does, reduce the dosage.
Do not take Buckthorn for more than 1 to 2 weeks without consulting a doctor. Long-term use can lead to potassium deficiency, intestinal dysfunction, heart problems, kidney disease, swelling, and bone problems.
Potassium plays an important role in regulating the heart, so depleting it through long-term use of laxatives can affect the action of certain heart medications. There could be an increase in the effect of drugs such as digitalis and digoxin (Lanoxin). Medications taken to steady the heartbeat could also be affected.
Consult with your doctor before using Buckthorn while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Lights out for the Territory: 9 Excursions in the Secret History of London
Publisher's Notes "Iain Sinclair is our greatest guide to London...(his) pitch is urban, jagged; the city is a maze of symbols waiting to be revealed, and Sinclair conjures them beautifully before our eyes".-"The Spectator"
Excerpt from The Reader's Catalog Iain Sinclair's record of his obsessive wanderings through London affords a strange new perspective on the city's culture and politics and has been a London bestseller. Lights Out For the Territory is brilliantly inquisitive, sanely bad-tempered about the invasions of power and money into the old historical patterns of the city, and hilariously sharp in its satire on official culture. Sinclair records long journeys on foot, from Hackney to Chingford and down to the river, around the City in its "ring of steel," and through the heart of Westminster, Lambeth, and Millbank. He writes about the energy, graffiti, and guerrilla politics of Dalston; about the cult of feral dogs; and helps to bury Ron Kray. He also meets Jeffrey Archer in one of the more unlikely encounters of recent literary history. "Iain Sinclair presides in deliriously intimate detail over the final and absolute disintegration of a nation's psyche"--William Gibson
