Anyone tried this for anxiety or insomnia? I think it's called jujube too. (haven't I seen that in shampoos?) I've probably taken it by another name and don't even know it.
Here's a link: http://www.herbalists.on.ca/resources/freeman/ZIZYPHSP.html
It has alkaloids similar to Lotus - the nelumbo variety that I found more effective than any of the other lotuses. The nelumbo (can't remember full name) lotus from Nepal even had an analgesic quality if I smoked it (water pipe) but the powder and tea didn't do much. The preferred method is soaking in wine for a week or two but that's out for a boozehound like me.
I guess this will be my next experiment when I'm up for it.
