We live in a world that we think because someone is nice to us that they like us and have no ill will but often times that's the furthest from the truth ! Watch who you share what with ,because some people would love to have front row seats to watch you fall .... No, no, no, darling , you can't have front row seats ,nor access! Be kind to everyone but be mindful of everything ✨️ 💖 💛

The whole plant extract of F. vulgare exhibited notable antistress effect against stress induced by forceful swimming of test animals. The key parameters, that is, urinary levels of vanillyl mandelic acid (VMA) and ascorbic acid in rats were used to evaluate antistress activity. The plant extract (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight) showed a significant improvement in urinary levels of VMA (P < 0.001), and ascorbic acid excretion levels (P < 0.001), in test animals when compared to the normal basal levels in control group of animals. Thus, the extract of entire plant of F. vulgare acts as an antistress agent [13].

Slippery elm's medicinal benefits stem from its mucilage, a gel that coats and soothes irritated mucous membranes, offering relief for sore throats, coughs, acid reflux (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It's used topically for skin issues like wounds and burns, and traditionally for urinary tract inflammation, though more scientific backing is needed for many uses, despite its general safety.

Shepherd's purse has potent superoxide radical-scavenging activity [34]. Additionally, it possesses several medicinal properties such as anti-coagulant, anti-cancer, anti-thrombin, wound-healing, and anti-oxidant activities and is a potential therapeutic agent for treating diabetes and fever [15,35-37]. In addition, SF also inhibits cancer growth in vitro and in experimental animals [38,39]. In addition to shepherd's purse, plants belonging to the Brassicaceae family, such as broccoli, cabbage, and radish, also contain high amounts of SF [40,41]. Thus, many studies have investigated materials from these plants.
