I was just referring to it as an alternative so you don't as consistently pop better or more addictive chemicals ie benzodiazepines / barbiturates

Always liked the trinity Ashwaghanda, Bacopa Monnierii [must be EKO and certified heavy metal free!]
And Tulsi/ Holy Basil/ Ocimum Tenuiflorum add some Gotu Kola/ Centella Asiatica. Last never tried,
But after a visit to a Ayurvedic therapist she said Ayurveda don t promote singular use of these herbs.
But use taylor made individual aimed combos. Which you dont take 24/7, They call it your current constitution.
And that also changes constant durin live.
But as its not officially accepted as medicin but alternative. So real treatment is for the rich only.
Its not like you get repeat check ups one session a year used to be covered, not anymore.
Although it predates our own medical [chemical] evolution, its not taken serious by mayority of western drs.
She gave me a Shirodara:
"Shirodhara is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy.
Warm oil (or other liquid) is poured in a continuous stream over the forehead or ‘ajna marma‘,
where nerves are highly concentrated.
The pressure of the oil onto the forehead creates a vibration.
The oil saturates the forehead and scalp and penetrates into the nervous system. "
Ime its bizar, started somewhat like an psychedelic trip ended in a state resembling a succefull meditation.
Ohm
Felt good after, LONG. Hot small constant flow of hot Coconut [and/ or sometimes Ghee] infused with herbs,
she added Brahmi as i mentioned my interst in it.
Also cured my lower back pain, 1 treatment 20 years ago.
Imagine the same oil but then in a pool made of dough, on the spot on my lower spinal cord.
And that was the last time ever suffered more then a day, by my own fault making a stupid movement.
But the 3/ 7 day lastin periods of pain never came back till this day.
Physiotherapists nor drs, western, even touched the surface she cured in a hour or two.

Might you have the oppurtunity I def advice to have a Shirodara.
Besides the medical properties, it was a experience words cant really describe. Total peace.
Loss of Ego, body distouchment essentially at the end there was one thing left that feeling on the spot of the oil drop.
The place where the Pineal gland lies. It was extremely pleasant, and afterwards there was this glow that remained.
Maybe it faded gently, or its still there?

The EU reason Kava Kava got illegalized was liver problems.Ashwagandha: Is it helpful for stress, anxiety, or sleep?

Something that occured after 100/ 1000-ends years of use with no indication it harmed the liver.
Like Kratom same story, never actually got proved.
While we know Paracetamol or Alcohol are certain to damage the liver, but still are in use and legal.
You can get a liver check the day after Kava, I even got no liver checks [required according to the user manual]
While on Valproic Acid. But the Netherlands is essensially a 3-rd world country,unless your rich or king.

I know.
I'm not rich either. It's literally a handful of people who got liver problems in the millions of people taking it, wouldn't worry too much about it, maybe not overdo it and take breaks every once in a while, or use liver protection stuff like milk thistle/nac/tudca or whatever.
