**TESTIMONIAL**

You are well aware of the stress I am under -. The brain 🧠 literally shuts down to protect itself and the memory recall & crisp sharpness goes with it, leaving behind an exhausted and unrecognisable self🥺

The effect of on my post- menopausal stressed out 😰 brain fog 🧠 is REMARKABLE 🤩 to say the least… no I have not overdosed 🤪

Why are they not advocating this to ADD and ADHD sufferers in the world 🌍..or are they?

It’s like my brain is thinking clearly and in a linear fashion, instead of knotted ball of wool and can ARTICULATE so eloquently and easily.

Clearly removing the daily struggle to express oneself and be understood and understand .

Thank you Sceletium

You are most welcome to share this very enthusiastic , celebratory and openly honest, heartfelt testimony with SEREEN! 🇿🇦

That been said, I hope this fog 🌫️never returns and don’t find myself at the bottom of the mountain ⛰️ in full shade when it wears off 😱😝😃

👵Turns out, great gran might’ve known what she was doing...

She didn’t have a double-blind trial. She had a garden, a gut feeling, and a lifetime of passing down what worked. The plant she ate made her feel better. She told gran. Gran told mom. Mom gave it to me. And I agreed with great gran 🌱

🤓But that kind of story doesn’t hold much weight in the modern world (sadly). Not unless it’s proven - Because why should a free plant make people feel better, when there are entire industries built around selling things that promise the same? 🥺

That’s the tension - Tradition versus science. And for a long time, science didn’t bother looking too closely at what gran was brewing in her teacup (because there was no money in it??)

Now it has 🔬

📑A comprehensive review published July 15, 2025, analyzed
2️⃣ 0️⃣9️⃣clinical trials on 64 different herbal and dietary supplements used to treat depression in adults. It didn’t just skim the surface, it dug deep.

And what it found was quietly revolutionary.

Some herbs, like and , performed as well as prescription antidepressants; Not in one or two studies but across dozens. Others like , (my favourite), & showed emerging promise. 🥹

🤕And safety? Minimal concerns, even when used alongside conventional antidepressants. Still, the advice remains: talk to someone qualified before starting anything new, especially if already taking a prescription or a supplement.

So what does this mean in the bigger picture?

It means that the quiet lineage of plant wisdom, passed from great gran to gran to mom to me, isn’t just anecdote anymore. It’s data. It’s evidence. It’s something that deserves a seat at the table❣️

Not because herbs are better. Not because pharmaceuticals are bad. But because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. And sometimes, the thing growing freely in the soil has more to offer than they’ve been willing to admit...

Up until fairly recently, I 'went along to get along'; Keeping the peace and ensuring everyone (else) is happy is actually a Stress Response 😐 Fight / Flight/ Faint / Freeze / Please / Appease 😵

🧱 include being able to say "no, but thank you" without making up a feeble excuse, over-explaining, feeling guilty, or over-compensating after bowing out 🧱

I had such an opportunity this week to practice this very thing 💥 it's much more difficult than it sounds... my default was The Feeble Excuse 🥹 Once I'd overcome that bit, I almost, nearly (it was close) fell into over-compensating 🤢

3 deep breaths and a short walk around the garden, and I was able to reply "no, but thank you for inviting me" 😀 now that I've successfully accomplished this difficult boundary once, next time should be easier... (hope the universe doesn't see that as a challenge 😂)

Call it , , or Brazilian pawpaw, this plant holds great promise and deserves respect 🤓 Treat it as a powerful ally, not a casual supplement!

Soursop or Graviola, depending on who you ask, sounds like an ungrateful child or a quirky breakfast cereal 😁 The sweet fruit is a tasty and healthy treat, but it’s the leaves that are getting the attention for their medicinal potential 🌱 Let’s explore why this plant is trending...

Two key things to keep in mind with soursop:

📍1. It’s a rich source of many important compounds that may support health in multiple ways.
⛔️2. Large or prolonged doses may be hazardous, so caution is essential. Follow product directions carefully, and always consult a professional if in doubt. Think of it like conventional medicine: with great power comes great responsibility.

🦸‍♂️Superpower of Soursop ⚙️ Antioxidant support
Rich in antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals, potentially reducing oxidative stress and the damage linked to aging and chronic disease.

⚙️Nutrient profile
Contains vitamin C, potassium, lutein, and quercetin. Together, these compounds may support immune function, cardiovascular health, healthy inflammatory balance, and even eye health.

⚙️ Mood and stress
Contains alkaloids such as anonaine and asimilobine, which in preliminary research suggest possible calming or mood-enhancing effects.

⚙️ Cancer research
Lab studies have highlighted acetogenins, unique compounds that showed the ability to kill cancer cells in controlled tests. Early findings point to potential benefits in breast, colon, lung, and prostate cancers. However, this is still experimental, human research is limited, and safety is not fully established.

📍Preparation Matters! Some of soursop’s antioxidants and vitamin C are heat-sensitive; Cold extraction helps preserve these delicate compounds.

📍Tinctures capture both water- and alcohol-soluble compounds, keeping more of the plant’s chemistry intact.

A Word of Caution : Soursop is a uniquely impressive plant, but it should be used wisely.

Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Do not exceed recommended amounts.

Consult a qualified practitioner before use, especially if dealing with chronic illness or taking medication.

Be aware: some research links high, long-term exposure to annonaceous compounds with possible neurological risks, including Parkinson’s-like symptoms.
