***Both ashwagandha and pycnogenol can be found in some wellness and nutrition stores, as well as online. But before you try either of them, please consult your doctor and therapist, especially if you have any heart conditions or issues with mental health. None of this is medical advice, so please do not take it as so. These two nutrients are but a small example of the life-­giving benefits that the forest provides.
