Wow, I know!
I'm trying to come up with a good tincture to make for myself.
I've suffered from depression most of my adult life and have taken quite a few different kinds of prescription antidepressants since the age of 15. But, since I was 25, lost my insurance and went to massage school, I both lost the belief of prescription and over the counter drugs (I won't even take aspirin) and the money to cover it.
So what I want to try is making a tincture that will really work.
Is there such a thing as too many herbs in a combination tincture?
I'm thinking of St. John's Wort of course, and Ashwaganda for the depression. I also can tend to get kind of a Temper, I get irritable for stupid reasons, so Maybe Kava Kava to calm me down? Then I could also use some help in the romance part of my life - Damiana Leaf?
If anyone has any other ideas, advice or anything, I'd really love that. Thanks!
