I’ve been keeping myself some what busy for the last few hours. I’m still not feeling that great but there’s not much that I can really do about that. Sure, I could just go back to sleep but at this point I’m averaging about 12 hours a night which makes no sense to me, really. I want to assume that it’s my body officially crashing due to all of the late-night-no-sleepers that I’ve been doing over the years, I just don’t know how to get myself to stop it.
Sean recently found something called like “Gotu Kola” that’s supposed to be a natural herbal supplement. He’s insisting that I take one because he supposedly feels better because of the product. Doing some research into it it’s been used for wound healing, better circulation, memory enhancement, cancer, vitality, general tonic, respiratory ailments, detoxifying the body, treatment of skin disorders (such as psoriasis and eczema), revitalizing connective tissue, burn and scar treatment, clearing skin infections, strengthening veins, blood purifier, high blood pressure, sedative, anti-stress, anti-anxiety, an aphrodisiac, immune booster, anabolic and adaptogen.
Basically it’s just an all-in-one herb that’ll make you feel better, I thought they called that Marijuana? None of the claims have been evaluated by the FDA but the research done by various institutes and universities conclude that more research on the herb wouldn’t be a bad idea. It’s been used for centuries (supposedly) and is still used today, for that reason there has to be SOME truth to the anecdotal claims made in behalf of this herb. It’s supposedly in the same class as apple cider vinegar – something Karen has been dipping into for her own health.
It’s listed as a dietary supplement at GNC, where Sean got it, and some nausea has been reported at high levels of intake. Either way I’m not fond of taking any over-the-counter pills to ‘help me out’. When I asked him for the bottle so I could get the spelling correct his eyes lit up before he asked if I was going to take one. I don’t see myself personally having anything to do with this product, or anything else that’s supposed to ‘fix me naturally’.
Would you actually take this product?
This is a product I have not heard of until now. I would probably try it as long as it is not outrageously expensive. My past experience with supplements of this nature is they have an effect for about the first week and then I get used to them and they become less effective. Many times supplements also make me feel jittery.
