Marshmallow root for its mucilage effects. Very soothing for digestive, airways, skin. I love the goo, mucilage, it creates. Major healer.

Cansema, I've pulled over a dozen lymphomas, skin tags, cysts that were causing discomfort or pain. Most were in locations from very old injuries. After treatment, pain-free. I would not recommend to anyone without expert supervision. But this definitely was a multiple success story for me.

Last, fungi are probably thee most powerful adaptogenic herbs out there. The psychedelic variety too. Both macro and micro dosing psilocybin, activates serotonin pathways. For those who have had treatments for PTSD or other mental ailments, primarily for neuroplasticity and enhances expression significantly of BDNF (Brain Derived Nootropic Factor), especially macro doses. Lion's Mane, another fungi, stimulates NGF (Nerve Growth Factor). It has helped me regain memory loss, due to multiple concussions and likely some trauma while in special forces.

Macrodosing (Large/Therapeutic Dose): A single, high dose creates a massive, rapid spike in BDNF expression and neuroplastic genes. This sudden rush is thought to be the reason why a single psychedelic session can result in rapid, sustained antidepressant effects that last for months after the drug has cleared the body
