Weird story as we fold these clothes, but today someone came to me told them they ate something &wasn’t feeling too well. Upon hearing that I was like what I can do to bring some sort of comfort I ran to the store and I seen this beautiful beautiful plant root. At the local market you know and that’s what is beautiful about the local market anyway before I go into a long tangent about wHy YOU sHouLD GO to the local market….super annoying😬😁 and I don’t care honestly lol. As of late life’s been a lil rollercoaster and I finally decided to stop rejecting the responsibility of certain things. I was able to find this(and some things for dinner tonight you know what I’m saying. We’ve been experimenting over here in Jason land. Mr. J. it’s an inside joke. Anywho Indian has been a theme. I just wanna hurry up and make some fucking naan man. Lol I want that flex naan 🫓 you can’t have my naan’s 🫓my naans🫓 my…nunssssss.🙏🏾thank you lord lol okay back to being serious lol.) burdock root. If you’re a preacher I need to start shouting right now
the choir needs to start choiring(y’all know wtf I’m talking about lmaoo), all that we also need grandma falling out in the back and we not alarmed that’s normally somebody may stand next her because when the spirit comes it’s coming. No guys but fr cop this it’s really great and someone informed me on their personal experience in it which made it a favorite of mine. They’re a person that deals with inflammation not too many details on his situation. Inflamed anything to sounds bad so in my head we would like to calm that. Inflammation can be a lot of things right? So shouldn’t that be great! It boost immunity so much freaking iron guys
One of her problems was with the digestive system so I wanted to do something that’ll be in for ease and fight that bug within her. I have a certain level of fear talking about this type of stuff, but it’s just so interesting learning about and coming to some sense that some of these may aid in her process of course with the proper assistance of doctors/prescriptions. Own research is always advised.
Quick random story time as I declutter. Gotta go.
