Report out 2: Saffron extract

[branchandroot]

Okay, but for real though, the saffron extract is doing some neurochemical lifting, here.

Today I have: done two loads of laundry, including sheets, remade the bed, vacuumed, put away the groceries, made taco pie, watered the plants, made a batch of homemade tortillas, washed all the cooking dishes, and I feel astonishingly not like a used dishrag. Accomplished and reasonably relaxed, rather. It is not inconceivable that I may be able to scrub the cats’ water fountain out in a bit.

It’s been ages since I had the energy/focus/making-things-happen-ness to make tortillas, and I love homemade tortillas with a great passion, so this is a definite win.

(The saffron has enough oomph to cause some mild withdrawal symptoms, in fact, if you miss a dose, so treat this like you would any other psychoactive and keep an emergency dose.)

Woohoo! I'm so glad for you, and astounded by that list; that's definitely more than I mange on most days!

I now wish I had homemade tortillas; if this is a very specific side effect of saffron then perhaps I should raid the spice rack tonight. :D

I'm so glad this is working well for you! (And am also now trying to look into it, because heaven knows very little works for me even remotely.)

Can I ask which brand you're taking? There are so many stories about different brands of herbal supplements having almost no actual active ingredient in them. >.
