Adaptogens don´t seem to work. Schizandra, Ashwagandha, Reishi, Jiaogulan... I have taken all of these and a few others and did not feel ANYTHING AT ALL. Vitamins, minerals, food, juicing etc are way more effective.
And another thing. Paradise Herbs and Eclectic Instiute are in my experience placebo brands of herbs, and not only I have tried adaptogens. But most brands are anyway, only seldom times herbs work, this Ashwagandha I tried that did nothing was of a "professional brand". When herbs work you notice something, like when you take maca for example (which stimulates you unfortunately so bad for "AF" insomnia).
Have anyone find relief with herbs? And those that are thinking of trying herbs, I warn you to try nutrients (vitamin C comes to mind of course) etc instead, optimally from food or food-based/natural.

This is a reply to # 2,163,507I really will like to know if you have high cortisol or low. Looks like you have hight, but then your test results are mixed.
That confuses me, as how reliable these test are? Blood says hight and saliva low, for example, what that means???
I'm thinking on my case. I just have had blood test for ACTH (LOW) and cortisol (NORMAL), so it looks like my cortisol is normal.
But it feels low, specially in mornings. So I'm afraid when I'll performt the saliva ones of getting mixed results aswell.
From what I have learnt here and Lams site, if you have low cortisol, adaptogens is not what you need. But if you have high cortisol, then they can help.
One of the herbs I use most is chamomille and it does really work right away. If you have stomach pains or bloating, this one works wonders in half an hour.
Also, for H. Pylori and when I had infeccious gasthroenteritis I used a mix of herbs (walnut, thyme, ginger, cinnamon...) with a drop of Lemongrass essential oil and I have to say that's a strong cocktail.
After a few weeks on that I did noticed good things like my eyelash growing more and stronger (it was amazing as in the last year they have been looking so poorly)
These kind of chages tells me something is working better on my body, and it´s because those herbs and probably killing something inside me. Thats why I thought making a proper clean could be a good idea.
As you know I do have a nice diet. I have veggies at luch and night. Raw and cooked. Try to have my carbs also. Etc... but that is just not enough.
Vitamin C has been helping me for a long time, specially those days I get the "ill feeling": bad taste on mouth, fever feeling, flu-like symptoms...
The maximun I take is 2,000mg though

This is a reply to # 2,163,650I can fathom you will get low cortisol with saliva, it almost always comes low from the chronically ill.
The best I can imagine is this, my cortisol is normally very low, however I have HPA reactivity which when triggered by an stressor (needles) gets the cortisol skyrocketed. The bottom line is that I have low cortisol, especially since urine says the same, so saliva and urine are best for cortisol.
Yes I know some herbs work, but adaptogens in particular have never helped me. LoL the herbals that have helped me the most are aphrodisiacs X) They rock!

This is a reply to # 2,163,777Maybe adaptogens haven't work for you bc you are low cortisol?
Why don't you do a saliva test to know how your cortisol looks through the day?
I'm the same with needles. When I was child they didn't bother to be. But now.... fiuuuuu.. I get really nervous about it.
I too react bad to an extressor.such a dificult situation, or having to deal with an undesirable person, etc. In those situations I feel.if I had really high cortisol: nervous, shaky, weak and even dizzy bc hypoglucemia.
But maybe is not high cortisol. Maybe is low cortisol or an adrenaline rush.
Which herbs have worked as afrodisiac? I could use those in the future, when my health is better. My libido is sleeping.- Re: Brief words on my experience wit... Tena Cious

This is a reply to # 2,164,180Maca is great and they say especially for women. Also gives energy, but could cause insomnia as well. Horny Goat Weed is great for males, don´t know how it affects women, but don´t you girls need nitric oxide as well? Those two stacked give a solid boost to the groin! lulz
There are plenty of herbs, like Damiana but you need to watch out for placebo brands. Most of spanish brands are placebo for herbs especially solgar in my family and my experience. Also buying herbs online is much cheaper because of prices and the conversion to dollars. You can buy maca in bulk, what a treat, I would be bathing on that if I didn´t have insomnia and I fear it can make it worse. But I want to take it again.
I´d say that the best place that I know for aphrodisiacs is Barlowes Herbals Elixirs, except for Maca that is probably a lot better buying half a kilo or whatever. I don´t know if customs would f*** you up if you buy there, but I know people say their herbs are amazing. I want to try them ASAP.
I got my saliva tested for 12-16 hs not 24h. Extremely low cortisol all day and until midnight. And that was two years ago...- Re: Brief words on my experience wit... TakeCare

This is a reply to # 2,164,188jajaja horny what? goats? No, ok, now I´m serious, but who invented those names? ^_^
I didn´t know we need nitric oxide.
Wow! don´t tell me solgar is placebo. I can not believe that. They look like high quality and always are carefull about being alergy-free, etc.
From Solgar I take sometimes Lisine, and it helps with my hair. Either it grows more or I loose less. I think my B5 is from solgar too, and I can say it totally works (too much)
I always though your cortisol was hight as you seem energetic. Maybe I´m wrong and didn´t read well (I research far too much)
Thanks for the advice on herbs. I will copy it for the future. I hope I can get to a point where I can introduce/worry about these things.
Sherpa sayd she has a quite normal life, but it needs a bit extra energy for all the dating thing. Well I would love to get to the point when your health is better and you can start worring about hese other things.

This is a reply to # 2,164,297Thx healthyartist! Wrote down that one too. Is it not too stimulating (like the rest of adaptogens)?
