My toddler was very fearful of everything. It kept her from enjoying life. She was afraid of adults and even other children. I started putting bacopa into her bottles and the improvement was dramatic. I had forgotten about it til I saw your post. It really worked. (She had a very traumatic birth.). She became very friendly and open and fun and she still is years later.
That is an excellent testimony. There are likely quite a few herbs that would help in such an issue; that’s one of the interesting things about the herb world. More than one often can help, and each herbs has many different uses.
The Bacopa I’ve used for years comes in powder form; sometimes a bit less powdered than other bags. Did you make a tea and strain it, just add the powder, or other way?
