Maybe you could try growing it too. I'm not sure how much you would need for equivalent dosing, but you could see if there's an improvement taking the whole herb versus the active ingredients found in processed supplements. I looked it up and I guess the taste is similar to Thai basil but stronger.
Do you remember any synergistic effect when you took it with rhodiola? Or did you really not get this level of AD response until you took it with synthroid? I liked R, but it wasn't enough. Maybe adding HB would help.
Hey, I have a thought. To see whether it is indeed the HB rather than synthroid making you feel better, maybe you can try skipping it for a day or two to see if your mood is worse. Then you'll know for sure and can report back. I'd definitely like to know since I won't be able to take synthroid, but could try HB. I'm sure that's probably true of most babblers.
As for this friend of yours whose libido went through the roof with ashwagandha... was it just her desire that went up, or did she experience heightened response as well? Might be something for folks to try for sexual SEs.
Thanks again for telling us about this, Morgan. It's always great to hear about something that works.
