Re: Jiaogulan

Ok I'm planning to buy and try the ashwaganha root ... should I try this tea as well or would consuming both be too much?

You can take both.  Herbs are best taken in formulas anyway.  They can potentiate each other in many cases, and other herbs can address issues that one herb may miss.  For example you can use juniper berry to drop blood sugar, but it will not block sugar absorption.  So if I add gymnema sylvestre to the juniper berry then I have a diabetes formula that will do a better job than either herb itself.

Can Jiaogulan be purchased in other forms besides tea? I love tea, I just wondered.

Yes, it comes in powder, capsules, and tea pills.

Boy buying all this stuff separately is going to be a bit on the expensive side! OY.

Look for bulk cut or powders. Much cheaper.  Take for example a box of mint teabags.  The box will cost $5 to $6 for less than two ounces that will cost less than $0.80 in bulk.
