Very interesting and informative. I will add some things from the list at the bottom of the page. Now I know why I've been drawn to mango so much in the last three years. I have also always also been drawn to pine, cloves, lavender, bergamot, geranium, lilac, etc. anything very aromatic.

We drink a variety of black and herbal teas, use herbs and spices for flavoring and use essential oils topically. I feel the need to add more dark greens and weeds, though. Growing mostly dense lettuces in garden this year with interspersed flowers. Roots in fall. Learning to forage local wild plants is a growing interest. Dandelion tea is a favorite that I think is helpful, especially the one with a dark roast. We drink herbal and earl grey and cinnamon black teas, especially chai. I find chai tea to be particularly beneficial lately. I also love capers for quercetin. It's a potent little seed with high a quercetin content !

I just want to look at posts like yours these days. Makes me feel hopeful and proactive. Oftentimes, I find that I am not getting the researched detail I'm looking for without pulling from so many different sources. Thank you for sharing the deep dives !
