Awesome article, @minismallholding. Did you manage to get any Astragalus? I believe a plant has to be 4 years old before harvesting.
It works to increase the number of white blood cells in your system. Dried root is the best way to go and you can get it for a couple of bucks from the Asian grocery store not far from you at Parafield.
The adaptagens I use here are lavender and tulsi. I do believe lemon balm world work better for you that St. John's Wort because of your complexion. It can lead to bad reactions from sunlight.
That's interesting regarding the St. John's Wort. I've recently been having more sensitive skin. I might leave off getting more and see what happens there. I'll have to lavish some more love on my lemon balm instead, see if I can getting it thriving a bit better.
Lavender could be another one to look into. I didn't realise that was any adaptogen too. I've been meaning to try and root some cuttings and get some more growing.
