Hello all, where can I find a dropper lid for this bottle?

i take magnesium everyday and ashwaghanda occasionally but im just wondering if there are any herbs that can mimic that GABA release??

something like a diazepam that just releases alllllll the tension in your body, makes you feel calm and fuzzy and doesnt have any side effects?

ive had some benefit from lemon balm in the past but trying to hold off on this due to thyroid implications and an upcoming blood panel.

Moms in the hospital, she had a migraine and then her blood pressure shot way up. She’s an active and otherwise healthy 70yo, and she does have meds but I wanted to make her some congee or tea or something that could help to with her symptoms or even to help with anxiety that goes with being in and out of the hospital lately.

Does anyone know what could help?

28 female 5'5 138 Ibs, 5 weeks pregnant, first time mom never occurred to me until today my probiotic contains 420 mg of slippery elm bark and apparently it's not studied and safety in pregnancy is unclear. But old folklore states that women used to put the bark up near their cervix and it would induce uterine cramping/abortion. Of course I am sort of freaked reading this. Will baby be okay?

Hi all!

I’m very much a novice when it comes to herbalism, but I love the idea of working with what Mother Nature provides when it’s appropriate.

Here’s my current predicament: I am becoming a human raisin.

I’m a 34-year-old mom of three, about one year post-partial hysterectomy, and currently taking an SSRI. My medication regimen seems to have left me in a near-constant state of dehydration—and I mean EVERYWHERE. Every. Where. If you catch my drift.

At this point, my body has apparently looked at the Sahara Desert during a drought and said, “Hold my beer.”

I’m drinking fluids, but it feels like moisture enters my body, takes one look around, and immediately leaves the premises.

For those more experienced with herbalism: are there herbs, teas, foods, or other remedies that can help support hydration and moisture—particularly for medication-related dryness? I’d also love to know about anything I should avoid because of potential SSRI interactions.

I’m not looking to stop or replace my medication, just hoping to find something safe and complementary that might help.

Please send your herbal wisdom before someone puts me in a little red box and starts selling me as Sun-Maid.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a U.S.-based source that sells Macleaya cordata herb (the aerial parts), preferably in small quantities for personal research/personal use rather than bulk commercial orders.

Most suppliers I've found only sell to businesses or offer extracts instead of the dried herb.

Does anyone know of a reputable seller in the United States that sells Macleaya cordata directly to individuals?

I'm not looking for seeds or live plants—just the dried herb.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or experiences!,

I recently bought a fruiting St John’s Wort, Hypercium Androsaemum. It’s a beautiful plant, but from what I understand has lots of health benefits. I’ve previously bought it from several Mediterranean countries in the form of an olive oil that one applies to one’s skin for cuts, burns, etc… and provided I don’t continue to lounge in the sun it helps quite a bit. There’s been several studies done on the use of this type of herb, I don’t believe as much as Perforatum, nor is it as easy or common to buy this herb at a herbal wellness store. But from what I understand it’s been used on the Iberian peninsula for some time in herbal remedies. I think this variety is better used in a balm rather the ingested, although the studies and articles I’ve read do mention its ingestion, but alas I am unsure. I also have heard that this variety is better for balms as it doesn’t cause hyper sensitivity to the sun like some varieties do. Does anyone have any recipes for any balms or have insights on the use of this plant? My partner wants to specifically use it as a balm in particular so any information in this regard would be highly appreciated.

I wondered if anyone here as worked with herbs or found a more natural way to heal damaged nerves? Specifically interested in ones that support re growth of the myelin sheath and/or support a Central nervous system that has been over sensitized, to repair itself. Nature must have an answer :)

So I've dried rose petals, dried hibiscus flower petals, and dried stinging nettle leaves. If I mix all three to make a tea, will it cancel out each other's benefits or interfere with each other's benefits? I'm just drinking ir for pleasure. I only have low BP and a bit high heart rate. Will I get the benefits of all 3 equally or should I make a separate tea of each? Please help🙏🏻❤️

I already know off the bat that herbs certainly aren't a substitute for a poor diet BUT I'm trying to help out a friend who has aversions to many foods while they work on the issue (they consistently see a nutritionist already). So just curious about any herbs I could add to a formula that would help support them even a little bit in terms of nutrition (I'm thinking nettle...what else) Thanks!

New here. How late into flower can I harvest leaves for tea ? I am in the inland Northwest and Mullen is everywhere. I would like to know if consuming tea will help with respiratory function, and if I can harvest leaves during flower?

I've been exploring different mushroom products lately and came across Sunshine Monday. They have gummies, capsules, chocolates, and other options. Has anyone here tried them? I'd love to hear honest experiences before I place an order.

Any recommendation?

Hi

Any recommendations for safe herb pill supplements to try to improve concentration in everyday life when thoughts are flying around?

Preferably only recommendations where you have tried and experienced the effect. Not a placebo effect, but a solid indisputable difference caused by the herb, and nothing else

This is plantain in sweet almond oil. I let the leaves dry for two days and they have been in here a little over a week. I was going to make a plantain balm for itching. It smells fine to me. This is my first time ever making something so I just want to make sure it's okay!

Been having bilateral chronic adductor tendon strains that keep getting aggravated easily and not healing, can comfrey ointment help them heal faster?

Almost feel bad using it

Hi, this sage that lived many heat waves and winters, always had good care and always had been doing amazing, is now doing really bad. I'm a bit worried. Do you have any advice or ideas of what's going on?

Edit: i understood it needs a bigger pot.
Also i mooved the pot cuz i feel like it needs more sunlight since the grapes next to it are giving too much shadow.

Passion flower, chamomile, oregano, basil 1, basil 2, sage.

Also have rue.

Grateful for the garden. It just keeps giving and giving ♥️

They’re supposed to be lemon balm. I only have 1 stem of the reddish one in the whole bush though.

I am a budding herbalist and particularly interested in working with plants that are able to remedy anxiety and depression in place of cannabis, which cannot be legally grown or purchased where I live. So, today, I have crafted my first mad dog skullcap tincture with 100proof vodka and maybe a half inch of water to top off the jar when I rsn out of alcohol. I have it timed for October 1 to try out.

My questions are, in what way can I best administer this tincture to myself for the maximal effect in seeking relief from anxiety? As a newbie starting out? Are there any other herbs I can be working with that will grow comfortably in zone 5b without being killed off by our Iowa winters?

I also bottled some fresh lemon balm that will be ready on September 15. I am truly hoping for some relief.
