Wow im usually sceptical of these things but I was willing to try anything and im not disappointed! I made a simple tea with it and I feel so relaxed! Definitely recommend it for anyone who suffers bad anxiety like I do! Will definitely order more!
First order from happy herb. Very relaxing effect. Tried as tea, wine and smoking. Smoking it had a lovely relaxed feel. Gave my friend some, she loved that it immediately decreased her anxiety, I have now ordered damiana and wild lettuce, excited to try those next. Thanks 😊
