Title: Herbal Remedies
Post by: Adrian D. on August 27, 2011, 08:17:43 PM
I was searching for Packers today and I ran into this website which sells FtM merchandise and they have Chinese herbs that are supposed to help with hair growth and testosterone levels.
Have any of you tried any of these herbal remedies? What they have: Siberian Ginseng (for testosterone), Polygonum Multiflorum Fo-Ti (for hair growth), Deer Antler Velvet (testosterone), and Drynaria Rhizome (hair growth).

Supplements probably can have some benefits but I don't think they can do much if anything for you transition wise and are mostly just a waste of money imo.

There's lots of herbs you can eat and drink in tea to help aid your transition, on HRT or not. I suggest research. And buying the herbs local, in person.
