  • In this video, I discuss the growing mental health crisis in America and the need to normalize the discussion involving mental health issues. To help support people dealing with mental health issues, I cover one of my favorite herbs for improving mental health: Mimosa.
    If you struggle with anxiety, mental health issues, or insomnia, you are not alone. Modern society has left many of us living and working alone, no connection, no ceremonies, and with no sense of belonging. Science has shown that when humans are isolated they struggle mentally.
    Please be gentle with yourself if you are struggling with depression or anxiety. Realize that the experience is not who you are but an effect of our modern society. Turn to Mimosa. I am confident that a strong connection with Mimosa will help you along your journey.

    I am a beekeeper, and the honey from Mimosa trees is very tasty.

      My husband and I keep bees and mimosa honey sounds good. We will be planting mimosa trees.

    I love mimosa. It’s the best mood lifter ever. It’s better than drugs. Better than pharmaceuticals and better than pot. Literally within 24 hours or less of taking it I can go from depths of despair to sunny and optimistic. It makes the things I was thinking about being so sad and upsetting seem like not a big deal. I love that it works so fast. And that I can take it when I need it because of that and then after a few weeks stop until I need it again. Sometimes I don’t for long stretches but then hit a rough patch and it’s there for me. It’s really awesome stuff.

      What works for me even faster is 5-HTP. It is a supplement OTC. It can change my mood in a couple hours. It raises your Serotonin level. So until Mimosa begins to work. 5-HTP can come to the rescue more quickly. I take 200mg time release. Better than any anti depressant I've ever had.
      How do you take Mimosa? Bark or flowers? If bark how do you prepare it?

    She speaks truth. I have never heard of using Mamosa. But I am dealing with a heavy grief at the moment. So I’m going to visit this tree that’s growing wildly on the side of my house tomorrow and see what it has to say to me.

    Great video! The broad scope you covered was very informative. I’ve definitely found Albizia flowers to be good for anxiety, just in a simple tea. Heads up to new foragers: be careful not to get the seed pods! They contain neurotoxins.

    Thank you for the kindness and grace you offered in this video. ✨ Oh. And daring greatly. Yesss!! I love that book myself. I've always been drawn to mimosa had a couple growing as a kid I picked out. I grew 2 and had no idea this tree was medicinal. I've always been drawn to plants and it's just starting to make sense. We are connected. I can sense their healing. Just wasn't fully listening. ✨🌱❤️ Thanks again for sharing such awesome info. You're a great life source w gentle force.

      None near me in Illinois either. I found what looks to be a good product on ebay.. Red Cardinal Store - "Albizia Bark (Silk Tree, Mimosa) Tincture Herb Extract Double Extraction". I will know more about it once I receive it. They shipped it within an hour of placing the order today.

      Just read a study done on mice with the dried leaves ground into a power, the researchers were testing its effects against some antidepressant... And the results were a pretty good match to the prescription drug.
