Today's #herbaltea is a blend of guayusa & gynostemma leaves. #Guayusa is an antioxidant and helps w/ inflammation. #Gynostemma leaves are high in antioxidants and are considered a powerful adaptogen, which helps your body resist trauma, fatigue and stress. #HappyMonday

A friend was over my house last night, and they had a total #anxiety attack, which I resolved by giving them an alchemical #tincture that I picked out of my collection after asking my pendulum. About two or three minutes after they swallowed it, they just sat up from where they had been shrinking into the chair and said, holy crap, that worked.

The one thing I had no control over was, that tincture was astringent as shit, and you could tell by the look on their face.

The tincture my pendulum recommended was #Gynostemma, which is an adaptogen often used to help the body deal with stress. I wouldn't have thought of that plant, as I take it for physical inflammation, but when you really think about it, inflammation is also a response to stress.
