Maybe it doesn't matter that much, but I've seen conflicting advice on when is the best time to take herbs, so I wondered when people here take them. I assume most people take them around meal times, but would that mean before, during or after a meal?

I never regarded this as critical, but I took all my herbs either before a meal or sometimes during a meal (if I mixed them with food).

Some say that taking herbs on an empty stomach is preferable because they aren't competing with food for absorption. Others say that the body absorbs the herbs more effectively if they are digested together with food. So yes conflicting advice.

On an empty stomach seems to be the advice which is most commonly given.
