What herbal remedy or supplement do you swear by?

[Livvi82]

There's so many out there but which ones have made a difference to you?

I've just been looking at Ashawanga which is meant to make you more alert, give you more energy. My friend swears by a collagen supplement for general health and menopause.

Whether it's a placebo or not but i always feel better after taking a Berocca!!

Turmeric with black pepper for creaky joints. Has made an unbelievable difference for me.

Peppermint for stomach pain and nausea
Ginger for nausea
Chamomile for anxiety
Lavender for sleep

Oh that's interesting. I'm always achy and stiff..

I absolutely love the smell of lavender!

Has anyone tried Spirulina and Chlorella?

Evening primrose oil

Do u just use the normal cooking turmeric that you buy in a supermarket?

Can definitely recommend ashwaganda and magnesium supplements. Helped massively with my sleep and anxiety issues

Magnesium. Better sleep, less anxious. Brings the nervous system into balances

Echinacea tincture at the first sign of a cold plus vit c and zinc - works but only if you take it when you first get the tickle/sniffle

Magnesium for relaxation and a good night's sleep, chamomile for anxiety, Passion flower also for anxiety, turmeric for joints, fish oil also for joints, marine collagen for skin.

I don't take these all the time, I often forget or I rotate because I think our bodies get used to things and maybe it's not good to be reliant. I don't take any medication although I'm in my 60s now.

I buy tablets. It’s the curcumin in the turmeric that’s the active ingredient, and it’s much more concentrated in the tablets. Apparently the black pepper helps absorption or something (makes it work better anyway).
My joints had got really achey, especially knees, hips and elbows. It was stopping me sleeping and really limiting what I could do. Took about a week of turmeric and I was back to normal - it really worked that well!

A good quality Evening Primrose Oil for breast pain.

Magnesium for sleep, but you have to choose which you take.

I’m looking into herbal remedies especially to increase energy and reduce anxiety. Just wondering what people find works? Ginseng? Ashwangha? Magnesium?

May I ask which magnesium people are taking? I have been using Solgar's Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc and my sleep and anxiety have definitely improved. I don't need the calcium though so am looking for an alternative. I believe that mag glycinate is supposed to be the best for sleep but Solgar is mag oxide I think.

Oh and I take turmeric/black pepper from the golden paste company - a teaspoon in warm oat milk is heavenly! Also Centrum women's multivitamin. omega 3 oil, starflowerand primrose oil and fizzy vit C amd vit D.

Ashwangha was actually recommended to us by our fertility clinic. It's meant to increase sperm count!

I’m taking L-Threonate and it has definitely helped my meno brain and sleep.

Biokult probiotics - expensive but worth it. I’ve taken two daily for the last few years and very rarely have any digestion issues, after years of a dodgy stomach. Also magnesium for anxiety.

I take vitamin D for seasonal affective disorder

Ive just started these. Interesting wind I'm getting 😶

Magnolia rhodiola in the morning helps my menopause stress plus probiotic bib complex omega 3 and Vit D plus ashwangada hrt and magnesium at night ! I rattle 😂🤣
