Hi Chiquitabella,
With goat's rue, you are lucky: it causes swelling, so you should know in 3 or 4 hours if it works. But check the strength of the extract: you really need a lot. I use 4,000 mg dried herb as tea. With only 1,000 mg, I see very little swelling.
I was at http://www.jacob-hooy.nl/
just this afternoon to buy more. I bought
200 g goat's rue for € 6.50
200 g hops for € 7.40
At 4,000 mg daily, 200 g is enough for just 50 days. At those prices, it's affordable to use 4 herbs every day. They are good herbs too: Jacob Hooy has been in business at the Nieuwmarkt ("New Market") in Amsterdam since 1743. They know what they're selling.
In those days, people didn't have family names, only first names and nicknames. His nickname became the family name after 1795: Hooy means hay, which is what he was selling, in the eyes of his fellow market traders.
