Strange (liver) reaction to milk thistle and Fo Ti

Hi,

In a previous post of mine I mentioned my decreased ability to clear caffeine out of my system. I think caffeine clearance is a good indicator of metabolic clearance by the liver.

This with other symptoms (dark sunken circles, premature greying, tinnitus) led to an interest in supporting my liver with herbs or supps. I first used milk thistle for one week with breakfast, but noticed more sunken circles, louder tinnitus and a kind of brain fog. This got worse to the end of the week and I stopped it.

A few weeks later I tried Fo Ti (He Shou Wu) to help with my symptoms and also noticed more sunken circles, tinnitus little louder and some sensations from my liver area. After a night of sleep my eyes felt tired wit Fo Ti use. This also got worse to the end of the week and stopped it.

Somehow my liver does not react well to milk thistle / Fo Ti. I really don't understand why, as these are supposed to help the liver? Could someone of you shed some light on this? Thanks in advance (male 29 years).
