The most important thing to remember about supplements is to get the highest quality you can. You can take a crapload of Curcumin, but if it isn't good quality, it really won't "do it's thing" in the same way/as much as quality stuff will. I would also check into the importance of the quality of the capsule and if that can effect the way the supplement is absorbed into one's system. I don't know anything about that, but I know that for coated tablets (such as vitamins), that is important. I wonder if that would be less of a concern for capsules however (when it comes to supplements such as Curcumin), since that is something that we eat. I would do a quick google search on that, but perhaps you have already researched this.

Making my own herbal teas of late with loose herbs. I've enjoyed a peppermint, a cinnamon, and a good chamomile with lavender blend.
What's your favorite herbal drink or tea? I've seen online where some folks have talked about infusing water with dried herbs and I'm thinking of trying it. Maybe roses, lavender, or other fragrant flowers. I've used lavender infused water to make white cocoa and it was divine!

Just made myself a tea with dried hibiscus flower, dried roses, lotus leaf, and lemon.
Delicious!

Ok, so cinnamon?
I’ve read that dosing with (Ceylon) cinnamon is great for helping regulate blood sugar and inflammation. Anyone here take it on the daily? Have you noticed any positive side effects?

My pitbull is getting cinnamon daily for the last few years, it is amazing. It helps him look and feel better. its almost like a pain reliever. We notice the effects if he doesnt get his cinnamon for a few days.

Someone said in private that they did get some blood sugar regulation effects (thank you!) and the anti-inflammatory properties are also super attractive to me. I am not a fan of taking pain relievers but my knees and hips are kinda crunchy some days and need to do something as a maintenance plan. I have had good results with turmeric as well!

My boy has cancer and i have noticed that the cinnamon is great at making his joints a little more limber. It also helps with the allergies that cancer causes. I am a firm believer in the holistic approach above taking pills for everything.

Losing weight has helped my joint pain tremendously but some of this is just residual for carrying so much weight for so long. Exercise helps too though, thank Goddess!

A caution regarding lavender and tea tree oils
I've just spotted an interesting item on the Science Daily webiste about the oestrogenic/androgen antagonist effects of lavender oil and tea tree oil, which apparently has had feminising effects on pre-pubertal boys in a number of cases: https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...0318144856.htm

I saw that and it totally made me remember a conversation with a friend who was transitioning several years ago. She SWORE by lavender oil as a supplement for her transition! She said that she mixed the essential oil of lavender with her nightly moisturizing routine and rubbed it basically everywhere and that it helped soften her skin. She also said that before she ever started hormones that an older friend who had already transitioned advised her that lavender would enhance her breasts if she used the essential oil in her lotion and also put it in her aromatherapy machine. I thought it was bullshit but I will fully admit that she had gorgeous, luminous skin so you know, maybe?! She also said she felt like she had gained breast tissue from it before ever starting hormones. Might have been psychosomatic or whatever but hey, she always smelled delicious as a result of using it.

Yes it's true a good Lavender oil added to your organic skin and face products can do wonders. The only problem is not all Lavender oil is created equal. It has to be organic and i would definitely go to the Lavender farm to see how they take care of their Lavender and process it. My sister has a Lavender farm and produces a beautiful Lavender oil but she doesn't sell it. However, there is a very excellent lavender farm on the peninsula called Purple Haze which produces a high quality lavender oil. I trust it.

It's a good site. And I'm a science geek. (shrugs) :-} I'd never jeard of anyone using anything herbal to help transitioning before, and didnt know whether anyone here would have heard of that before. I posted here in case anyone with youngsters tended to use the the stuff, as unintentional messing with anyones hormones is obviously NOT a good idea.
