anyone got any experience with nature medicine?

So, last year I started on taking this "nature medicine" against 'a heavy mind' or whatever during the winter. Last year it worked - well, I got out of bed in time for work and uni and meetings and stuff - though if it was actually 'cause of the pills or due to the placebo effect I don't know. Then it became spring and my symptoms disappeared/ ( Read more... )

I have no experience with nature medicine but it's possible that being outdated could mean it lost its potency. I hope you're able to sort things out soon and are feeling better. I hate this time of year because I tend to get seasonal depression too and it's awful, especially when it's overcast for days on end to add to the gloominess of the season.

^^this. I am not a medical professional but most of the time when medicines "expire", it's that they can no longer be guaranteed to perform their expected task. I feel like this would be especially true with a plant/herb/something else like that that could dry out or lose oils or change chemically over time. Upping your dosage may help to compensate.

Thanks. Then I'll try to up the dosage :)

Thanks.

yeah, it's just so annoying. Usually I have a job or uni to get up to, so if I don't get up there are consequences, which makes me get up just in time to be there on time, but now? I have neither a job or any classes to go to, so nothing happens if I just stay in bed all day.
Nothing except it's not something I want - I just can't help it, urg >:(

But I'll up the dose the rest of the month and see what happens.
