RE: I've starting eating the Ashes of Waganda!
Ashwaganda is some good shit. I didn't know it got rid of anal monsters, but hey, it's pretty awesome. It's my favourite herb to ingest, almost probably. If I had a spirit herb, this'd be it. My naturopath has it's name on her door (the staff got to choose a herb for their doors) because it's SO good! #naturalmedicine.
LOL! Nah, that was just me making shit up to illustrate that people use it for a huge number of supposed benefits. The number of things it's used for is likely past it's usefulness, but it did seem to affect my mood, energy, and inflammation almost instantly. Sadly it's a little hard to sort out the myth from reality. We need more studies on the benefits of herbal supplements to be funded. It's rather crazy that one part of the population actively uses supplements to treat ailments and the other part is unwilling to even find out if they're effective.
Lol yes I did know that you are making that shit up. Have you heard of the natural medicine group here on steemit? It's exactly the kind of questions we ask all the time and encourage people to write about and have conversations about. I know people that grow this plant and create medicine out of the roots which is awesome because they're not even paying for the tablets.

No, I haven't heard about the natural medicine group. I don't really mix well with a lot of the herbal medicine types though, due to my tendency to want to separate myth from medicine. The majority follow Chinese medicine or homeopathy or a combination...or simply just taking all sorts of things that are said to work for this or that. It takes a lot of effort to navigate through all the stuff and find what actually works. What's worse is that the doctors in the field are no different. It takes a lot of effort and research to find a doctor that can work with you and even then they might believe in a few weird things that are a bit beyond what you personally believe. Of course, zapping you with a machine or using sonar or whatever can help if the patient believes it will...but I've never seen any benefit to it. What's really bad is if you have a good doctor that insists on doing something that seems to have no effect. Of course, even the most crazy things might actually help someone if their body for some reason decides to believe.
I totally agree. You'll find we are ordinary folk like you though and I for one encourage research and not spouting rubbish like juice cures cancer. We do encourage being informed and that balance is best.. you can't forsake western alllopathy as much as you shouldn't stake all hope in crystals. Its all about conversation and learning rather than preaching and most of us are hacks really.. all good fun. It's not all herbal medicine...it's just Steem folk enquiring into alternatives which we are pretty good at Xxxx

OMG! Juice doesn't cure cancer?!?!? Wait...you mean ingesting it, right? Not as a colonic? Yeah, cuz using it as a colonic totally works to cure cancer!
And I loved your humour in this it made me giggle
