Hi Flora, sorry for the late reply.  Thank you for the informative response.  I asked regarding fertility and estrogen because I tend to be more on the estrogenic side.  So I would like to enjoy these medicinal herbs without it making my hormonal system imbalanced.  Soy I definitely avoid but would be saddened if Cistus Incanus was estrogenic.  It is such a miracle herb.  Was looking to combine Cistus Incanus, Chanca Piedra and milk thistle for a better functioning gut and liver.

Hello all!  Anyone familiar with the healing flower from Greece? Also commonly called Rock Rose. I heard it’s used as a way to destroy biofilm.  But my main concern is whether it has estrogenic effects.  Most herbs and phytoestrogens are usually estrogenic but I can’t find any information on this.  Thanks in advance.

This is a really great tip!  But lets say fermenting isn’t an option here… I wonder how much the slime contains.

Anyone know if there are oxalates in the Okra mucilage?  I wanted to try Okra water to possibly avoid it if it is mostly in the Okra pod skin. It's a shame since I wanted to get the full benefits of okra but I worry about oxalates for my kidneys.  Thanks!

Hi everyone I am new here and writing because I figured you guys would understand these plants the most.  I had a horrific experience with short term birth control pill use and it caused me mental agony such as deep weepy depression and anxiety/fear.  My hormones are most likely out of whack (I am estrogen dominant) and it is causing me lack of serotonin (i am dopamine dominant).  I was hoping that you might have experience with these herbs potentially bringing you out of darkness. So I would need hormone balance and brain chemical balance.  Saffron sounds mighty interesting in treating depression.
