I don't have the percentage memorized on saffron in terms of how much it improved mood, but I do know they did have a placebo group.
There's also studies on if you're growing in life, it actually gives you a great level of satisfaction and happiness.

And that's where it's like, commit yourself to learning something.
Even if it's not going to pay off tomorrow, something you can really learn and grow towards.
Yeah, you know, here's what I'll say.
I've done a sort of a mix of essential oils based on their historical use and then even some of the modern science today.
I think essential oils are great and have a lot of benefits.
Again, just with all supplements, including those, unless you're really deficient in something, I don't think they're a miracle or a cure in a lot of cases, but I do think they're a really great part of our daily lives.

It's really good for that.
I tend to put it more to where it's going to get more in my sinuses, so rub it a little bit more in my neck or even under my nose.
Oh, okay.
So that's where I tend to put it.

Holy basil, that's a good one.
That was known as Tulsi as well.
