Elixer of Power: Ashwagandha+Milk

[ryoko]

I have been trying out different supplements which can help recover post flow. The thing about flow states is, it fries your brain, post flow states are akin to withdrawal symptoms. Best way to maintain it long term is solid rest and nutrition. Everything else is a catalyst. 

Mg was having no effect (Glycinate and L-threonate). Tried L-tyrosine in the mornings, I don't like how it functions, it's just precursor to dopamine and it won't work for everyone either, I don't think it's wise to prioritise one hormone over the other, it can lead to funny states. I avoid caffeine and anything which works similarly. 

The only thing which have any noticable effect on me is Ashwagandha. Have been taking 500mg tablets on a daily basis(powder mixed in water). It's an adaptogen they say, as far as experience goes, I use it for enhancing focus. It makes you restful overall, and heal better. The mainstream usage of it is as a testosterone booster. Also for better sleep. And this being an adaptogen really is showing. It doesn't do much to my body, it's just midly easing/sycnronizing the recovery. 

Today I discovered I'm not nearly taking advantage of this adaptogen. 5g ashwagandha powder mixed in warm milk taken before sleep, is the best way to aid recovery.

I have some and tried it once maybe ill try it again. Chat gpt is good in that you can ask it what ayerveda says to take for specific things without having to read and it said take this one in a bunch of cases.
