nite chat: 3:27

ok
so i'm going to try something
i got this herbal first aid kit
it has echinea tincture
which i may need
it has plantain salve
which i probably don't need
i have a bunch of salve
but
it's supposed to be like nature's band aid
so i am curious to try it
it has motherwort
which reduces anxiety
and also helps with menopause-y hormone stuff
it has yarrow spray
which is a styptic
but would also make a good throat spray
because it's anti-blah balh
it has st john's wort oil
which is supposed to be good for pain topically
skullcap which is supposed to be helping you sleep
but i also happen to know it is anti spasmotic
very helpful with cramping
and that it does not lessen sexual desire
which was what i bought it for back twenty years ago and more
and
it has poke root

now poke root is slightly toxic
but
it will clear infections
and clean the lymph
several herbalists have listed it as an end of the world
medical kit must
and
i'm thinking it's something i'll take
if i get the zombie flu
but
i don't really want to wait to take it until i'm dying
and
i do have some congestion
which i've almost cleared with the elderberry and elecampane
but
i'm gonna try out the poke root tincture
and i thought about it
and you take one drop in a glass of water
which might not really be enough
but imma not push it
so
imma take this one drop in a glass of water
before i go to bed
and then when i get up
i will go for a walk
to help circulate my lymph
and we'll just see what it does
i will not take a bunch of other stuff
i'm being respectful of the medicine

i'm telling you about it
but
you should not worry
there is no way this is too much
for a normal weight person
which i am not

it's an experiment

i've tried all the other tinctures
it see how they work with my body
and i need to try this one too


ok
so what i did
i didn't think that was fair
just say hey i'm doing this thing that might be
a little sketchy
and by the way goodnight

so what i did
was i took it and i've waited for it to have long enough
to have an effect
and
it has
and i think i feel something
but it might be psychosomatic
it feels a little buzzy
in my lymph nodes
just a little
and
there's a foggy alertness
not dissimilar to alcohol

this is probably psychosomatic
but anyway
i'm fine
so
there's no need to worry
i just thought
ya know
even though it should be safe
better to try it while i still have health insurance
and am right around the corner from a medi clinic
that isn't yet full of corona virus medical emergency

so much more cautious
than when i was young
although
i was probably never
super reckless

so
we'll see if it does anything
i love you very much sweetheart
