) Does anyone have any experience with herbs, particularly passion flower, evening primrose, gingko, milk thistle, grape seed, or pinebark extract, in treating PD? Milk thistle is great for preventing constipation, I accidently found out. I take a pill each day. I have taken ginko and evening primrose and they did not help me. Re when to start PD meds, I think the experts don't agree as to sooner rather than later. I don't follow that issue that closely because I don't take PD meds - DBS controls my tremors. Can't give you sources immediately would have to do a search. I'm sure somebody else knows.
