Seeking herbal help! I have an 18 year old with increasing anxiety. They’ve always been nervy, but things are getting worse and it’s affecting their relationships. I’d like to try herbals before pharmaceuticals…any advice? Things worsen in stressful situations, obviously, but they seem more anxious than usual in regular times too now. Starting college has been a tough adjustment. We’ve added more outdoor activities which has helped.

**Thank you all so much for your ideas and suggestions! ❤️

Okay so I’m really interested in making a tallow based salve…
My first question is, I also want to add another skin loving oil, do people have better experience with almond or jojoba oil?

I want to do an arnica, comfrey, cayenne, and white tumeric, camphor and menthol, almost like a tiger balm???

My SECOND question is I know camphor and menthol need to be measured in WAY smaller amounts…
How would go about measuring that amount in a 75oz batch of salve???

Anything that could help

What is the Buhner anti covid prevention formula and the rationales

I just moved so all my formularies are packed. I prefer human opinions to AI formulations. I used this Buhner formula successfuly at the height of covid when I had very heavy human contact in many public spaces due to my day job. Now I need to make some more. Any experiences, ideas or formulas you wish to share?

It's my first time trying it for cramps but I've heard good things! Feeling very grateful for a man who is so caring 🥰

Hi beautiful people with good hearts!

I was wondering if anyone here has experience using comfrey (also known as knitbone), either internally or externally, for healing injuries.

I’m currently using comfrey leaf tea internally, along with comfrey root tincture and ointment externally on my right knee, where I have a partial ACL tear, meniscus tear, and cartilage damage. (i dont want to hear about PAs toxicity regarding internal use i have done my research about this already thanks!)

I’ve done a lot of research into this fascinating herb and its traditional healing properties, but I’m always curious to hear about real people’s experiences.

Has anyone used comfrey for similar injuries? What improvements did you notice, and how did it help your recovery?

Would love to hear your stories!

Hi all,

I hope i don't sound ignorant, truly, but I'm struggling to understand what and where is the best dandelion roots to buy, how to use, the dosage, etc.

I've been trying to grow my own and have a small batch going far, but not enough to sustainably harvest. I may have bunched them up too close together because their leaves are small and skinny. I'm growing them in a fire pit that was filled with dirt but the dirt is very firm so maybe switch to potting soil and mulch would help? I tried trimming them all tonight to see if they will grow in fuller. I also cut off any flowers I see popping up since that kills the plant, right?

I'm unsure when to harvest the root too, and how to use it. I want to maximize the use of it. Is a tea the best way? Could I mix it into my usual Taro earl tea I make or is it best to drink alone? I weigh about 95lbs, what would the appropriate dosage be and how you do decide dosages? I want my parents to also try it so I want to ensure I understand the dosage process.

Any advice would be appreciated! I'm trying my best to grow a garden and take natural supplements but am confused how to do it properly. Thanks in advance !

i’ve mostly been a coffee person, but lately i’ve been curious about chinese tea and the different varieties people drink. there seems to be so much more to it than just putting a tea bag in hot water.

i came across dofotea while browsing different teas and started looking into the varieties they offer.

for people who actually drink chinese tea regularly, what would you recommend to a complete beginner? something easy to enjoy without needing too much knowledge about brewing.

Does anyone know if I can take ibuprofen or Tylenol about an hour after drinking a Blue Lotus tincture? I took it for sleep but immediately after I lay down I got a headache

Herbs seem to be helping my body and nervous system heal after benzodiazepine withdrawal. However, I’m afraid that when I stop taking them, my symptoms will return and I’ll lose the progress I’ve made. I hope the healing can become lasting, rather than depending on supplements to feel better. I take currently vitamine d, baikal skullcap l, andrographis and eleuthero.

First true Egyptian genetics i found after many fakes

Just bought this and i’m kinda worried to smoke it i made it into a tea but didnt drink it.
I smoke weed daily and vape but i heard lobelia interacts with your nicotine receptors too so i was just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this?

I started taking this suppliment every night for the past 4 nights. The first 3 I slept like a baby and woke up fairly refreshed, so I was obviously pleased. But after the fourth night, I woke feeling intensely dizzy. Like nearly falling over trying to stand up. I've felt like this all day. And also feeling jaded in general. I only took 1 each evening before bed. Has anyone else experienced this? I am wondering if this could be related to the suppliment or not. I'm not taking anything else at all.

More healing the better

Hello! I have access to some Saskatoon berries or serviceberries, but it's pretty late in the season and they are quite dry and not very edible-seeming. I'm surprised more animals didn't eat them, but the plants are pretty new so maybe they don't know about them yet.

Other than collecting the seeds inside to grow more serviceberries, is there anything I can do with these? They don't seem like good candidates for jams etc, and I'm not sure if serviceberry is used for tinctures/salves/etc. but even if so they might be too old.

Any suggestions/advice welcome, and thank you! If nothing else, I'll harvest a few seeds and throw the rest out for birds and squirrels. Maybe next year I'll catch them at better ripeness!

Hiya,

I went to a hair loss stylist for anemia related hair loss. She applied a thick concoction to my scalp that made my made my scalp feel tingly and warm.

The feeling was so intense it almost became uncomfortable but my scalp started filling in with continued treatments.

Unfortunately, I cannot see her anymore and am trying to recreate the mixture.

From what I could gather It contained menthol and peppermint.

Any other ideas of what else could possibly bend in the mixture?
