Last night I took a concentrated dose of Valerian root powder and Green Tea extract and went to watch the sunset. For those of you that don't know, high concentrations of Valerian root act as a mild psychedelic similar to kava kava, the green tea extract acts as to potentiate the Valerian root. Combine that with plenty of water and some mild exertion, like a nature walk, and you have a recipe for a ready-made perception altering experience

Well its like that at least for me, your mileage may vary. Its a nice way to unwind from a long week and provides a channel to reconcile stress. Stress sort of builds like a fog and begins to cloud perception and this is like a relaxing warm breeze gently sweeping all that fog away. Add a beautiful sunset into that equation and stress just melts away. And you get hefty little serving of anti-oxidants and neuro-protective precursors.
