In the beginning of the thread I wondered about John's Wort and photo-toxicity. My first cosmetician warned me about it, but I kept drinking John's Wort tea anyway (mostly for MH reasons, e.g. to reduce anxiety and cure mild depressive episodes), but didn't experience any problems (probably because I avoid the sun as much as possible, anyway).

However... I just started HRT, and I thus need to stop supplementing John's Wort anyway. Perhaps I can find some 'alternatives', but as a preliminary hypothesis, it seems that estrogen actually has a very positive effect on my mental health, so perhaps I won't need to supplement John's Wort anymore anyway 😉

I'm looking forward to continuing HRT, but it may decrease my pain tolerance. And there are still plenty of painful face laser sessions ahead 😐
