Testing Solomon's Seal for Tendon/Ligament Issues

Over the past couple months I have experienced discomfort in several connective tissues including the left ankle, left knee, left shoulder, left elbow. Given the unusual pattern of occurrence, these issues are probably due to some systemic physiological dysfunction. The only treatment that noticibly improves the discomfort is resistance exercise which improves the local sensations for about 1-2 weeks. I have not found that drinking Heteropterys aphrodisiaca infusions has positive effects although this is inconclusive because it was not taken on a highly consistent basis.


The lack of efficacy with H. aphrodisiaca has motivated me to try an alternative herbal treatment known as Solomon's Seal because of its claimed restorative effects on tendons and ligaments. I have purchased a small amount of Solomon's Seal tincture, an alcoholic extract of the herb Polygonatum biflorum, and I plan on taking it for the next month or so. I will report after I observe the results.
