@dapose Good idea. I'll add this to my planned garden as a medicinal herb. @luch recommends this to calm the gut, and for anti-stress, vagus nerve support.

@Mossy I really liked the effects it did worsen sleep though.

@Mauritio @mossy i had a cup of lemon balm tea after lunch yesterday and it was very calming, similar to chamomile but not sleepy-calm. My guess is that lemon balm is better for day time stress, and chamomile better for after dinner nighty night time! 🫖

@Mauritio Thank you. As someone who is hyper sensitive to most things, that's good to know.

@Mauritio shogaol is easily made from ginger powder you just put it in the oven with some acid dry it out for 60 minutes and it is usually a lot more beneficial than gingerol in 99% of cases

@lobotomize thanks. i use ginger candy or chocolate and IIIRC the ginger in there should be heated is probably already converted to shoal.

@Mossy another Peater said the same thing. So I don't seem to be the only one.
It's exceptional for colds/ flue, but somehow messes with sleep. Maybe GABA rebound effect ?
