I Had a spiritual experience of birch flower tea unknowingly that I made really strong. I was going down the wrong path in life,, after I drank the tea I felt humbled, and quit making those choices. First I felt euphoria , Then I felt sad , and open my eyes I felt Like there was a fork in the road, and I could choose two choices. ( scientifically Someone feeling humbled , could reevaluate their life) I'm not super knowledgeable about medicinal plants, As a ordinary person cured blood poisoning, & bacterial bronchitis (golden seal etc) There was a sad person begging for money I had to practice guitar anyway so I gave him company I didn't realize how lonely , but grateful he was until he asked If I wanted to follow him to his next spot. I wonder why more artist do not expose themselves to dreary places, and capture it in their art. (I'm not judging anyone as long as they Put feeling into their heart while creating)
