These videos are good, but there’s a book called The Hidden Herbs by Anette Ray, which shows you how to really activate the healing properties of natural herbs.

Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .

[HerbalEssentials]

Chamomile has been wonderful for our family 🌿

Caffeinated ☕🍵 created higher anxiety. When I stopped drinking these two and making herbal teas, my body is calmer

I noticed that St. John's Wort has positive effects when it is boiled over low heat for nine minutes.
Although I heard that St. St. John's Wort should be boiled for nine minutes, I drank St. John's Wort without boiling for a long time, but I did not see much effect.
Onion juice is incredibly gut and brain relaxing, but it is very difficult to drink onion juice.
Onion juice creates a feeling of nausea and distress.
But if you are patient after drinking onion juice, you will feel very relaxed after half an hour.
Onion juice can be less nauseating if you drink it with yogurt.
Onions are in layers.
The intestines and brain are also in the form of layers.
Our gut is our second brain.
Cabbage is also in layers.
This is my own personal experience.
For this reason, I cannot guarantee anything.
These days, I have some thoughts about taking a shower with cold water.
Cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure "rise", fats "increase" by growing in the body, diseases multiply by "spreading" in the body and can threaten life.
Fire multiplies and spreads by "rising" by its nature.
The movement of the fire flame is from the bottom up.
Fire burns and destroys.
Diseases can be devastating if not controlled.
"Water" puts out the fire.
Fire gives "heat" and "heat".
The opposite of heat and heat is "cold" and "coolness".
The movement of water is from top to bottom.
So the opposite of fire.
Disease represents "fever" "heat" "destruction".
Just like the flame of fire spreading uncontrollably.
Illnesses are often the reward for sins.
Sin is identical with hell and the devil.
At least the suffering of illness does not belong to heaven because all suffering is in or reminds of hell.
"Cold water" can lower the spreading, rising, destructive cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, reduce body fat and cure or at least alleviate diseases.
(This is just an assumption. Cold water can shock the heart.
The truth is that cold water boosts the immune system, boosts metabolism and increases brown fat, which promotes fat burning. )
Plants growing below ground level, edible seeds, root crops are related to "down".
These plants and roots can represent our organs such as stomach, kidney, intestines, which are located "under" our body, or it can be a sign that it will lower "down" by lowering high blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar. Increasing, expanding body fat and diseases are included in this.
St. John's Wort may interact with medications.
I've heard that St. St. John's Wort will not interact with drugs if it is boiled and drunk in small amounts like tea.
Eating plenty of walnuts and almonds can be effective in depression.
Walnuts are similar in shape to the brain, lungs and intestines.
The gut is our second brain.
Nuts such as walnuts and almonds have thick and strong shells.
These strong shells protect the fatty tissue inside.
It is fatty in our brain.(omega 3)
Nuts can protect our brain and make it healthy.( walnuts and almonds)
Almond shells are very hard.
I am not talking about American almonds, because the shells of American almonds are thin.
The holes on the almond shells resemble hair follicles.
The green shell of the almond is soft and velvety like the hair.
I liken walnuts to tortoises in shape.
Land turtles live very long.
Land turtles are very resistant to starvation for long periods of time.
Walnuts can keep people full for a long time.
Land turtles withdraw into their shells.
In this way, tortoises are in the dark.
Darkness evokes the night, the night evokes sleep, and sleep evokes serenity and peace.
Walnuts increase the amount of melatonin in the blood three times.
Melotonin is essential for regular and good sleep.
The shells of tortoises are very hard, like almond shells, which are very hard.
Honey is dense and slow flowing.
Honey can slow you down.
So honey can calm you down.
Bees collect pollen from flowers by flying in nature and come back to the hive.
Bees do not forget the location of their hives and they are very hardworking.
Honey can strengthen your memory and give you the peace of life in nature.
Honey never spoils.
Honey can prevent your organs from deteriorating.
When honey comes together with walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts that represent organs, it can prevent the organs it represents from deteriorating.
Honey Walnut, Honey Hazelnut, Honey Almond...
I don't speak English. I hope I write the sentences clearly.

Smelling the herbs as you spoon them in is part of the healing process I think.
