I began taking yasmin almost a year ago and it has done wonders for me!! Cleared up my skin afte rabout 4 months (had cystic acne), my moods are relatively stable. And on to your question -- if it helps -- I went to a chinese herbalist for what I thought (and some docs thought) was chronic sinusitis/alleriges/mild asthma. turned out to be acid reflux (maybe -- still have to go to a GI) the herb doc gave me tea to brew and drink every other day and a diet to follow -- for about 6 weeks. I did this and had no problems -- in my experience -- it was all natural -- literally looked like twigs and grass and other random things. However -- I told the herb doc (who is a real "western" doc) what meds I was on, etc. And I told my other drs. that I went to her (most were quite excepting.) My boyfriend went to the same herb doc (for lack of any other phrase) and he was given a cream for acne on his chin from shaving and sweating and anxiety -- no side affects. If you are worried -- just call you internist.
