Tracey,
We are taking Planetary Formulas Bupleurum Liver Cleanse. It contains bupleurum root, dandelion root extract, milk thistle seed extract and a few other liver supporting herbs. I like it. Any time I have felt the discomfort from a flush I've taken it. It's very soothing for me. I also forgot in my excitement to mention that after the second dose of Epsom Salts , we both used heat on our gallbladder area and then massaged around there. That does seem to make a difference. I did use the bupleurum/chinese bitters from Julia Chang before doing my first flush and it was so good. I had been experiencing so much pain and discomfort up and down my back and couldn't sleep. Julia recommended this for me and I can't say enough about it. I just haven't reordered again. As bitter as it is, I think it would be a gentle way for my husband to go next time. Along with the Gold Coin Grass.
