It's amazing that I've never heard of this before. I've researched herbs for a long time and magnolia was never mentioned once. I knew I had a very large 30+ foot fraser magnolia or the cucumber tree on my property. I've also been able to identify the sweetbay and collected the flower buds. Now is the perfect time to find this video. I've had a tone of joint pain neck and back for years and felt it is digestive related. Thanks for your work to bring this information back to light. Much appreciated.

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

[@paulofthewoods0787]

@@LegacyWildernessAcademy I'll update with the progress while taking the herb. Only been a few days but I've seen some pretty interesting results. Having dealt with this for a long time, you get to sense the inner workings of the body in a way most probably don't. Or hopefully never will. I can tell it a powerful herb. Thanks again!

[@LegacyWildernessAcademy]

@@paulofthewoods0787 I should mention that if you feel it's digestive related you should also look into yucca root and greenbriar/smilax root. Both are used for joint pain, but they work differently than magnolia. They have saponins that bind to toxins in the gut and prevent them from being absorbed, reducing the toxin load on the body and helping with inflammation. Make a combo tincture with all 3 and I bet it would work wonders.

[@paulofthewoods0787]

@@LegacyWildernessAcademy very cool. I do sometimes eat greenbrier and every once in a while I'll get an allergic reaction similar to shrimp which I'm also allergic too. Same with lambs quarter.
