Perhaps I have a very cheeky question, but I'll try very careful. I know, you are growing other exotic plants, but perhaps you can help me. I am a private collector of Hippeastrum, Rhodophiala and Griffinia species. Now I am searching still very special ones. They are growing in a part of Soouth America, and my question is , can some one help me, please? With little bulbs or seeds. Or perhaps you know other people, botanical gardens, gardenforums or private collectors in your area who can help me. Thank you very much and I hope you can help.

Bottom Line - I think Maca is having a positive effect. Will continue taking it. I am perimenopausal. Before Maca, I have either hot flashes or sleeplessness. One month I had tremendous hot flashes over my entire body; made me look for Remifemen which did nothing for me. For the most part, my flashes come once every 45 minutes, last about 5 minutes. When hot flashes fade, sleeplessness comes in. Update: Week 1 . Been taking 1 capsule of 500mg Maca, twice a day with meals. Just two days before getting the Maca, I was experiencing 1 mild hot flash a day and not feeling sleepy until 1:45AM. Started the maca. In the first week I have been sleeping through the night, no hot flashes. Week 2. Same as week 1. Could it be the Maca is fixing my issues? Week 3. Same as week 1, but I am getting acne pimples on my jaw line. Looked up Maca; the acne is a documented side effect, especially for those who are prone to acne, which I am. I will stop taking the second Maca capsule daily. Week 4. Got 1 flash on Monday. Another 1 on Tuesday. Period started Wednesday. Am getting a few flashes a day now. They do not last long and the heat is less. Wonder if my acne was due to my period starting, since i can break out before my period. This is the beginning of week 5. I am going back to Maca 2 times a day. Not noticing any particular effects on my libido yet. I do want to do the wild thing, but not any more than usual. Am noticing an increase in energy. My friend told me I seem more energetic. Could be a result of getting a good night's sleep. Was told that Maca was mentioned by a guest on Doctor Oz on Friday.

Definitely depression can occur during the menopausal years, and sometimes persist in the senior years as well. If you just feel mildly depressed, I'd continue with some of the things you're already doing (light therapy, getting out with friends, etc.) but if you begin to feel blue more often than not, I'd see your doctor. Some people feel very much better, on just the lowest dose of an anti-depressant. My sister has been on a very low dose for 15 years, but finds she returns to chronic mild depression when she goes off her low dose. Her doctor says she's fine her low dose forever, as it rids her melancholy and gives her no side effects. However, many women do go on anti-depressants during menopause, then go off them a few years into post menopause, and have no returning depression.

Hello Flora lovers. I'm in the tropics, so i have lots of tropical seeds like guanabana, passiflora, star apple, guavas, purple onion seeds and a large array of heliconia rhizomes. I am looking for sarcophypte sanguinea, lavenders, maca and mandragora officinalis. But I'm happy to trade for your Tomatillos too. Add me on whatsapp. 33 0590 690 920011
