Suggested Other natural medicines area?

[BlackSheepVegan]

I’d really like to be able to chat about other natural medicine somewhere?

For example I’m just starting a new lions mane tincture to try and help my menopause brain! Be nice to talk other stuff possibly?

It's a good suggestion, no objections here - should we use the term 'natural medicines' or instead something like 'alternative'? Or even just have a section for 'over the counter' treatments?

Trying to consider how we can ensure we fit everything into one category.

Hmmm… I’m not sure medicinal mushrooms would be in the same kind of group as over the counter stuff, maybe

Other medicine and self care?

 

[Muiredach]

Seems more inclusive - hopefully a few others will chime in on how to name it, I'm completely open to it though.

While MedBud is unlikely to cover mushrooms, there are clinicians/clinics in the industry looking into future viability. MedBud has no issue with discussion of other drugs/treatment in general, though any information on sourcing/dispensing has to be legal and above board.

Maybe medical mushrooms could be categorised as Psilocybin Assisted Therapy which could then cover all aspects associated with medical Psilocybin and then it’s separate from the over the counter medication.
Other mushrooms would be a categorised as a health food supplement like CBD?

I'm leaning towards two categories, one for other prescription meds, and one for everything else? But then, there's also all kinds of other things people may want to discuss like physiotherapy, counselling etc.

Okay, makes sense, it keeps things simple and easier to navigate. I like the 3rd category idea. Medical cannabis efficacy has increased for me now I combine my medication with counselling and CBD. So I agree a category for other therapies would be good
