Ty Joy! I wasn’t aware of these magnificent properties these flowers, etc, contain! I suffer from severe migraines, Narcolepsy, etc -brain injury-causes anxiety, depression. Will pass this on 2 my BFF – she has stress-her hubby-6 yrs now, has 1 of the rarest hereditary, scary, illness EVER! Doing much better now?. However, she, like me, recently got shingles, due 2 stress. We both have arthritis, especially in feet-standing at work all day. Sleep patterns suffer. I’m retired early now-due 2 brain injury, but still experience the above-migraines r the worst! Eh, tied w/anxiety! Ty, again! I’ll pin this, try them, pass it on! And , BTW, ignore ignorant comments as the 1st ridiculous 1! SOME PEOPLE! ???
