I bought this because it was the cheapest per ounce I could find on Amazon ($1 per ounce). That’s a fantastic price compared to others!
Then I started reading the negative reviews and I was afraid of what I would get.
The quality is definitely better than I expected from reviews. Certainly there are stems and leaves, but plenty of flowers too, and even some fruits. It’s the whole plant, minus the roots.
I’m going to be taking this for my melancholia, extracting with just water as an herbal tea. I’m adding it to my daily Yerba infusion. I already feel different after just one steep. Feeling less anxious. I definitely feel different than normal.
The literature I’ve found seems to agree that the whole plant above the roots are efficacious for melancholia. The flowers are better for making topical ointments, but since I’m steeping it as a herbal tea, this mix is good enough for me.
I was concerned that a water steep wouldn’t be enough to extract the active hydrophobic compounds but it seems good to me! Some literature seems to indicate that there are other compounds in the plant that enable better solubility of the active compounds, so I think a whole plant steep is better than an extract.
I’ve been taking escitalopram (SSRI) on and off for years and was kind of getting annoyed at having to get my prescription for it every time from my doc. I got a unexpected $100 bill on my last appointment to get it renewed, which was really annoying. My body is sensitive to SSRIs so I only take half a pill (5mg).
If I can get 1lb (2.2 kg) of SJW for $16, and a standard dose is approximately 1g (900mg a day according to most of the literature I’ve read) this bag will give me approximately 2200 doses. So this bag will last me more than 2 years so long as I keep it well.
I have a MS degree in biology and have work for pharma in the past. I used to be very skeptical of herbal medicines but this one is legit. But definitely do your own research on it and listen to your body.
I might even make a tincture for topical applications since there’s so much.
