hi thnx, ill check that herb out, it seems interesting.does this herb have an effect on libido?
It might but I don’t think it’s used for that purpose in particular however I’m pretty sure it doesn’t suppress libido as carbamzepine and similar drugs seams to do. It’s also useful for digestive problems as well as respiratory problems and asthma. A larger dos say 200-400 mg extract Indus relaxation, not at all a drug like or sedating effect, in Japan they make a the of the herb witch is widely used among people in general (the actual dos is les consumed like that).
The reason why I have some knowledge abbot this herb is that my younger half brother hade a series of seizures a couple of years ago. We hade bin working out at the gym and was running home to get the aerobic exercise as well, when he suddenly collapse at first I thought he was trying to be funny (as he often dos and apparently really believe he is) he was kind of twisting he’s body but was still at consciousness. Soon he was having convulsions throw his body and I realist that he was hawing an epileptic seizure.
I didn’t now any thing abbot the disorder, no one in my family hade it neither did any one I know or ever known. I was devastated as a certain responsibility lies on the older brother I was determined to at least make sure he got the best treatment possible. I don’t think to highly of mainstream medications (except emergency care) as I luck in to the regular drugs and their possible side effects I was wondering what his future might be like. As I went with him to his doctor making a dispute with him he was clearly irritated as I was how still was a high school student was questioning his authority (Later it turned out I was the one how wear right).
To star with I gave him my taurin supplement 500mg to times a day combined with Calcium/magnesium (I think every person with epilepsy should take a taurin supplement as high levels of glutamate typical for epilepsy cases taurin to brake down faster.). This improved his condition to some extent. As it a apparently wasn’t enough I got him L-theanine 200mg (with protects brain cells from the toxicity of exes glutamate) to times a day, a the time I that this was the best way to increase GABA. And it apparently workt weary well I and his family thought was ok but after a couple of month he had a little seizures with out unconsciousness.
At that point I started to consider adding a herb to his “medicine” and that’s how I got interested in magnolia I told him to take 200mg twice a day and this completely stop his seizures, to this day he has hade non (This was abbot 3 years a go). Lately he has decreased the dos of magnolia to 100mg twice a day as well as the L-theanine to 100mg twice a day.
I remember lucking I to magnolias and other herbs toxicity and I was surprised that herbs with such a strong effect on neurochemistry could be almost non toxic, toxicity is of obviously an important issue as far as long term medication is concerned. I’m not sure I can recall this correctly but if the dos of hole dried magnolia bark used traditionally would be with in the rage of 3 to 9 gram I think the corresponding dos of high quality extract would be 400mg-800mg. the herb do contain some thing (cant remember what its called) that is associated with toxicity in extreme doses such as 1,2 punds or similar. Regular medication is far more toxic in active dos how ever.
