Anyone taken herbal "Lily of the Valley root" and your reaction?

A guy at a health food store recommended it to me. The research I've done online is mixed, good and bad. It's ground powder in capsule form. Anyone taken it or know much about it?

Anyone taken herbal "Lily of the Valley root" and your reaction?
the leaves of the lily of the valley plant are poisonous. however, we are talking about extract from the root of lily of the valley. this is not poisonous at all. it is similar to the heart medication known as Digitalis in its effect. it will slow and strengthen the contractions of your heart a little bit. it is very helpful in valvular heart disease. Digitalis can become toxic in high doses, but my understanding is that this is not a concern with lily of the valley if not taken in excess. it is also a mild diuretic and can be helpful with weight loss. my mother has recently begun taking it and reports a boost in her energy level and several pounds lost weight.
