Hello @herbswife! Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I see that you have connected with a few of our members and they have shared some good advice. I wanted to add my welcome to our community. Mayo Clinic Connect is a place for you to share medical experiences and connect with others who may be traveling down the same or similar road as you and your husband. Please know that we are not medical providers or medical specialist. We do however like to share our stories and help where we can. I'm happy to see that you have found your way to this special group! It looks like Colleen has also introduced you to a few members in the Transplant group too.

The only thing I would like to add is- I have seen people at Mayo Clinic with nausea use a product called QueaseEASE found here http://bit.ly/2uiZ7tT. Maybe this would be helpful for Herbs nausea?

@jamienolson, I just looked at the link to QueaseEASE and I noticed that it contains essential oils. As a liver transplant recipient, I have been advised to stay away from use of essential oils as well as some other 'natural' products until conclusive research has proven their safety to my liver and medicine combination.

There are many products that are safe for the general healthy population, but are not safe for those with a disease/compromised liver. I urge @herbswife, as well as anyone with liver disease or transplant to check with their doctor first.

When you are living with liver disease - the rules change.
