Re: Blends
If i take a blend for adrenals, a blend for Capilliaries, a blend for this, that and the other etc etc, and take half a teaspoon of each, i'll be doubling up on some herbs. Does this matter?
No, there are very few herbs you need to be cautious with as far as taking a higher than normal dose. The ones you mentioned do not fall in to this category.
I already take maca and ashwagandha and schizandra and jaogulan separately.
I'm trying to simplify things
So if i scrapped the adrenal mix, as i don't like the licorice in it, stains my teeth too much, and use the capilliary mix for adrenals too.
Licorice root should not stain the teeth at all. It does not contain a high level of tannins.
I take a heaped desert spoon of bee pollen a day for the B5.
And take a adaptogen mix using my maca and ashwagandha and Jiaogulan.
but take 1/2 tsp of them mixed. For a good adaptogen mix what would you use and in what ratio?
All three of these can be used. More maca and less jiaogulan will make it taste better and help balance the energy levels better, esepcially if you take it in the evening so it does nto keep you awake. So I recommend 5 parts maca, 3 parts jiaogulan and 2 parts ashwagandha.
So to recap
I'm going to mix Amla, Acerola and rosehip, gotu kola, nettle for the capillaries and adrenals.
I take Schizandra and milk thistle for liver health. Could i mix these? Although i take the Schizandra as a bitter too.
Yes and yes.
I take bee pollen
And make a mix of adaptogen herbs, i have maca, ashwagandha and Jiaogulan/gynostemma at the moment.
So does that sound like a good plan?
Yes.
2 blends and 3 separate. Just remember i also take vitex/ Agnus castus, so 4 to take seperate.
That is not a problem, the vitex is not going to interfere or be interfered with.
