And for a *lot of info, including how to grow and market foxglove :

which also has a link to a medical (?) site on ntidotes

Interesting link indeed. I didn't scan every word, but the only date I saw was 1922. We've come a long way since then!

The biggest problem with herbal preparations - and antidotes - is that we just don't know what's in them. They aren't standardized, not even Digitalis Leaf. The more esoteric ones probably have many active ingredients, and we have no confidence that one pill is the same as the next, even out of the same bottle. Or whether there isn't something else in there besides what we think we want. Not to mention how any of the known or unknown ingredients may interact with the more standard nostrums our allopathic physicians may have prescribed, or anything else we may be taking.

As you may conclude I don't feel very secure with people taking alternative remedies, even "natural" ones, for a variety of reasons...
