Re: ADHD Alternative treatment

Hello Angel.

I know what it's like to have adhd , and to want something naturally to heal you.

Have you tried the delicious tea Yerba Mate' from South America? The leaves themselves arent exceptionally tasty, but I add peppermint, spearmint, and stevia to my yerba mate. I'm about to experiment with cinnamin because I heard it is very popular, and I like the smell and taste of cinnamin.

Yerba mate is a smooth, natural source of energy and like green tea, yerba mate is rich in polyphenols.( Yerba has more)

I said that the leaves of the Yerba Mate' tree grown in South America, Uraguay, and Brazil arent exceptionally tasty, but they are the part of the infusion the I look foward too because of the benificial nutritional properties, to which there are so many amazing. EACH INFUSION OF MATE CONTAINS :

Alkaloid
Aromatic Compounds
Saponins
Phenolic Compounds
Flavonoids
Minerals
Vitamins - A, C, B-Complex
Xanthines

I will explain the properties of Yerba Mate' in greater detail later, but here's a quick overview.

The great sense of well being and smooth energy and mental focus from drinking cups of Yerba is due to the synergistic effect of the Alkaloid structure , the Xanthines(Natural caffiene 2-3% in a cup), Aromatic Coumpounds and Minerals(Mg, P, Ca, Mn and Fe) and vitamins.

The anti-oxident activity is due to the Saponins, Phenolic Compounds, and Flavoniods.

Yerba is so healthy and I can see why people drink many cups a day, and make it a morning, afternoon and night ritual to drink it; because of the induced high mental focus, sustained energy(which I noticed it does more of a job of supplementing your own energy levels and keeping them going all day rather than creating a nervous, jittery , twitchy energy buzz with a crash like coffe.)

So I noticed Yerba helps twoards a better life.

Re: ADHD Alternative treatment

Hey Angel.

I have never tried ritilan or adderol so I couldn't compare, but I have a feeling your going to enjoy Yerba more than anything else. Even for just social gatherings. Yerba is called " The ancient drink of friensdship " because it is meant to enjoy with your friends and loved ones. It's just that tastey! A good infusion with some natural sweeteners is, anyways. I enjoy regular Yerba now anyways and get great effects from it.

I love living in this place on earth, Angel.

You can usually get it in a local health store in tea bags. That's how I first tried Yerba Mate'. I bought a box of 25 Gauyaki teabags 3 grams each for around 9 dollars. 75 grams of Yerba for 9 dollars plus tax. What a rip off. It didn't even give me any effects.
I buy my Yerba online and I get pounds and kilograms of the stuff for around 10 dollars.
