Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I'm sorry to hear about your health struggles. Praying for you. I'm not familiar with Statins, doctors tried to put me on them and I didn't last a week. They make my chronic pain worse. Hawthorn is considered a heart plant and many people use it for this. I've used it occasionally. My BP is lower than it's been in twenty years and I think it's from Moringa. I can't be 100% sure.
#9 on this link mentions heart. Moringa
Good resource to get started with plant medicine. List of herbs
Good source for herbal tinctures
Also CBD & multiple varieties of mushroom's might be an option. Natural medicine will take at least three months to notice a difference. Many times you have to find the plant that works for you. Also some good companies offer capsules. Tinctures more effective but not good for travel. I can give you the places I buy herbal tinctures. In a pinch Iuse Herb pharm & Hawaii Pharm site. I prefer to buy from small stores online. If you have any questions I'll try help.
