Hong Jing Tian, Very nice whole pieces

I had just started trying this as an adaptogen and find it takes a couple days
to work. Need to soak ground up root overnight in warm water. Dont boil it.
Definitely an amazing herb root for semi depression. Had interesting and
ordinary dreams rather then trapped and worried ones for first time in life.
Also acts kinda like caffiene in giving more energy and initiative, as well
as overworking. I could chain saw above my shoulder level which ordinarily I
dont have the strength to do sustainably!!! But the day after I could feel I had
damaged some of the cartilege in shoulder joints. so need to be careful !!
( I think it grows back OK.) It wasnt that muscles were sore,,, it was their attachment
or pivot point!! I have studied herbs for years and find it very interesting. As per
reading quite a bit about it, one should stop at 30 days or so and give body a months
rest. It affects the adrenals in a good way, but that only works if everything feeding
the adrenal glands in in good order and nutrition..
Thanks for your very good quality herbs! I have been a customer 25 years or so.

Tincturing

I'm currently in the process of tincturing my Rhodiola. I personally wish it was cut and sifted a bit smaller, but this is good too.
