I don't know if you know this, but if you put dried lavender (in a small cloth pouch ) in your wardrobe it keeps away moths. And lavender honey is absolute bliss. It's not very nice, is it. Smells like dirty socks and stale catpiss. Cats have weird tastes. My latest discovery is hop tea. It doesn't make you sleepy or woozy, just helps you have a deeper, more relaxing sleep. And no, you can't substitute it with beer. And now I promise I'll stop ranting about herbal medicines, and go dance naked under the full moon. Maybe take my broomstick for a whirl.

I get up early so I am ready to work when the sun comes up. I enjoy nature at sunrise and sunset. I enjoy the company of early risers - more positive people!

@bakersman94 I asked because I believe that a mineral deficiency should first be diagnosed before it is addressed (I'm a scientist). As long as one does not suffer from renal insufficiency, excess magnesium is excreted. Such a pity. But you can improve your athletic performance with beer. We have not yet shed light on the calming effect of melissa (lemon balm, Melissa officinalis). Herbs have a beneficial effect on health not only as tea or as an extract. When cooking, they add the necessary spice to the food and sometimes also help the food to be digested better. They can also replace part of the salt (we eat too much of it). When I think of the quantities of different herbs I had in the garden. Starting with melissa, chamomile, different kinds of mint (also catnip), different kinds of thyme, oregano, marjoram, tarragon, sage, lovage, parsley, coriander, rosemary, ... Another advantage of the herbs is that they are a valuable source of food for our bees, bumblebees, butterflies and other insects during the blooming period. Yes! A homemade lavender flower jelly is also delicious. You can also lure me with thyme honey.

thank you for this, Tommy!! i did read your suggestion for one in morning and one in the evening, but i took it upon myself to take both in the evening with the last meal. i`ll start taking them, one in the morning, and one in the early evening with my mid day meal around 5pm, as per your suggestion. when i was experimenting, looking for something that would help me sleep better, i tried taking melatonin, but it made me so uncomfortable to be in my own skin, i stopped after the second dose, as the uncomfortableness was getting more pronounced.

Great advice. I always had a lot of lavender in my garden. When it bloomed, I always hung little bouquets to dry. The fragrance is wonderful and soothing. Valerian roots are not the best choice if you have a cat in the house. It has the opposite effect on them. 😂 I thought you had a routine checkup with the doctor every now and then. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear. My recommendation was to take one of the two magnesium capsules in the evening. The D3 should be taken in the morning or latest at noon with a meal. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. "It stimulates serotonin (a feel-good neurotransmitter), which can lower the sleep hormone melatonin. Magnesium helps to achieve a better, deeper sleep and is therefore best taken with dinner. It should be taken in the evening, but separately from the meal directly before bedtime to avoid disturbances from digestive enzymes and stomach acid."
