You are so right about the lack of money research motivator, which is sad, but I get it. I love learning about all the historical lore when it comes to the usage of botanicals in different cultures, and you are so right about it being anecdotal, that's why I disclaimer any herb/plant posts so hard. There are so many variables to consider when it comes to what we put in our bodies, medication interactions, our own biological makeup, the list goes on. Caution and prudence (and consulting those who know a thing or two about the human body) is always a good thing!
Hope you are having a glorious weekend!
