The power of herbs is severely downplayed to this day in most health spaces but this is a huge mistake.
So here's a thread on some powerful herbs that you should be aware of no matter if you struggle with hair loss, gut issues, low libido, anxiety, depression or insomnia𧡠x.com

Over the last years in the health space, the power of plants has been severely downplayed due to factors such as the recognition of the importance of animal foods but also the realization that tons of plants have a variety of built-in protection mechanisms that can harm humans (unless they are prepared right).
I am obviously not saying that plants are miracle cures or that you need them in order to thrive.
If you don't know how to prepare and use them right for example, some of them can even be contraceptives.
But that being said, there are certain plants which are very safe for most people and can be great supplemental tools.

Pay attention to the word βsupplementalβ.
I am not using the term βstapleβ and thereβs a reason for it.
Plants are not meant to be used on a daily basis (all plants are seasonal after all) since past a certain point the chronic exposure to certain molecules in them can negatively affect things such as your thyroid or androgens for example.
For how long you should be using plants?
This depends on their potency and your starting point.
In general, things such as nettle root, rosemary, ginger, hibiscus, chamomile and saffron can be used multiple times per week, where others such as reishi, turkey tail, lion's mane and so on should be used once every week or two as a preventative measure and in other cases (let's say a TBI for example) they can be used daily for a few weeks.
Also, when it comes to all plants, quality matters, a lot.
You should NOT use the plants that will be mentioned unless you can get source them properly.
The last thing you want is to get some pesticide-filled plant and consume it thinking that it will benefit you.
Another thing you should keep in mind is that certain herbs are so effective, that can react negatively with certain medications whether they are blood thinners or whatever.
So contact your doctor or at least do some research before using one.
And finally, always remember that you can always add more, but, you can't take out. So when you are trying a new herb (or supplement in general) start with low doses the first time you try it.
Ideally 1/3 of the recommended. Yes, 1/3. If you don't have a negative reaction (most obviously won't) this advice can unironically be life saving.
Now let's get into the herbs.

Now let's get into the herbs.
Herb number 1: Ginger.
From helping your pregnant wife with nausea, preventing the hardening of arteries and promoting overall blood flow in general all the way to being great for the prostate, brain and CNS, ginger should be a staple at most households in my opinion.
Ginger is great, if you don't use it right now, try having some ginger tea 3 days a week and notice the benefits.

Herb number 2: Ceylon cinnamon.
You might think of cinnamon as something that used just for its taste but think again.
This decently cheap and yes, tasty herb that's loaded with antioxidants is great for:
-The brain
-The heart
-Blood sugar management
-Keeping certain pathogens at bay due to its antimicrobial properties
-The gut
-The immune system
and underrated for heart health and blood sugar control.

Herb number 3: Saffron
This might seem expensive (and it is), BUT, it's really great for
-Stomach ulcers
-Hypertension
-Low libido
-Coronary heart disease
-Depression
-Brain fog
-PMs
-Seizures
-Alzheimer
-Withdrawals
Its main compounds are crocin, picrocrocin and safranal which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, antigenotoxic and cytotoxic activities.
I personally like it A LOT.

If you are man that's looking for something that actually works and can help you with your fertility, libido but also mood and testosterone a bit, look no further.

-Protects the testicles against xenoestrogen toxicity
-Improved fertility (especially for men)
-Increased testosterone
-Anti-aging benefits
-Supports the gut
-Supports the liver
-Neuroprotective
-Aphrodisiac
-Mild heart protective benefits

Herb number 5: Lion's mane.
Most stacks that are related to TBIs have lion's mane in them and for a good reason.
It is one of the best supplemental foods for recovering from brain injuries.
Past that, it can help you with:
-Heart health
-Improving your lipid panel
-Blood sugar regulation
-Ulcers
-Depression
-Anxiety
BUT, it is probably the most underrated dietary source of potassium, manganese, zinc, thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin as well.

Herb number 7: Gotu kola.
This is often used topically for hair loss and orally mainly for brain health (great benefits for TBIs) since it boosts BDNF and anxiety since it's a GABA-B agonist.
It can also be a decent choice for boosting collagen and skin health.
There are more benefits, but these are the most noticeable ones.
