<p>Hey, definitely keep us posted for ANY effects that it does cause. Sometimes strangely enough those herbal things do cause strange things. I recently read in the FB group someone posting success in using Brahmi herb (Ayurvedac medicine) for daydreaming and other 'brain' things. It wasn't very expensive and the other things it is believed to help are trouble areas, so it wasn't a big investment. (But I won't commit to posting much until I try it and see what comes of it.) It's amazing…</p>

It's amazing what some strange natural things CAN do, however limited. <strong><br/></strong></p> Thanks for your comment Joey.…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2014-01-13:4661400:Comment:1698942014-01-13T19:02:58.567ZLedahttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/Leda
Thanks for your comment Joey.<br />
I dont think it can do any miracle as there are any revviews om the product. but still want to try it.<br />
It arrived today and I took the first drops and i.m still alive :-)<br />
I will give it a go and take the first bottle. It will be good if it makes.me more aware and alert or at least if it doesnt do any harm.<br />
Lets see what happens

<p>Hm. I've never heard of this before and I'm quite an avid reader of crazy supplements and vitamins & minerals. In the case of herbal remedies (few work, many of quackery!) Wiki will honestly be about the most reliable source, however odd that is to say! And it says this: <br></br><br></br></p>

<p>The European species did not enter into the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbalist" title="Herbalist" class="mw-redirect">herbalists</a>' <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacopeia" title="Pharmacopeia" class="mw-redirect">pharmacopeia</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis#cite_note-45">[45]</a></sup> In the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Old_West" title="American Old West" class="mw-redirect">American Old West</a> the Western white clematis, <i>Clematis ligusticifolia</i>, was called <b>pepper vine</b> by early travelers and pioneers of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Old_West" title="American Old West" class="mw-redirect">American Old West</a>, who took a tip from Spanish colonials and used seeds and the acrid leaves of <i>yerba de chivato</i> as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pepper" title="Black pepper">pepper</a> substitute.<sup id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis#cite_note-46">[46]</a></sup> The entire genus contains<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_oils" title="Essential oils" class="mw-redirect">essential oils</a> and compounds which are extremely irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. Unlike black pepper or <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsicum" title="Capsicum">Capsicum</a></i>, however, the compounds in clematis cause internal bleeding of the digestive tract if ingested in large amounts. <i>C. ligusticifolia</i> is essentially toxic. When pruning them, it's a good idea to wear gloves. Despite its toxicity, Native Americans used very small amounts of clematis as an effective treatment for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migraine_headache" title="Migraine headache" class="mw-redirect">migraine headaches</a> and nervous disorders. It was also used as an effective treatment of skin infections.<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis#cite_note-47">[47]</a></sup> Clematis is also a constituent of<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_flower_remedies" title="Bach flower remedies">Bach's Rescue Remedy</a>. Leaf extracts from two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopia" title="Ethiopia">Ethiopian</a> species (<i>Clematis longicauda</i> steud ex A. Rich. and <i>Clematis burgensis</i> Engl.) are used locally to treat ear disorders and eczema. Phytochemical screening of the extracts from both of these species showed antibacterial and antifungal activity.<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis#cite_note-48">[48]</a></sup> The Extracts of these plants also posses wound healing and anti-inflammatory activities which could also be attributed to the phytoconstituents. <sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis#cite_note-49">[49]</a></sup></p>
<p>Clematis has been <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bach_flower_remedies" title="List of Bach flower remedies">listed</a> as one of the 38 plants that are used to prepare <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach_flower_remedies" title="Bach flower remedies">Bach flower remedies</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-Vohra2004_50-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis#cite_note-Vohra2004-50">[50]</a></sup> a kind of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine" title="Alternative medicine">alternative medicine</a> promoted for its effect on health. However according to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_Research_UK" title="Cancer Research UK">Cancer Research UK</a>, "there is no scientific evidence to prove that flower remedies can control, cure or prevent any type of disease, including cancer".<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clematis#cite_note-51">[51]</a></sup><br/><br/>So it certainly has effects on the brain being used for headaches however it can be lethal. (It comes from buttercups! Which as a kid I knew not to eat because they could make me sick.) So most likely the supplement version may not be lethal (how could they sell it!) I wouldn't think it would do wonders. =( </p>
