Maca rood while pregnant

I’m starting this thread because I haven’t found one and I know there’s a lack of research. I was taking maca root regularly prior to conceiving, like consistently for 4 years maybe. I started taking it for energy and wanted to naturally replace my adderall somehow. I started to notice it increased my libido after a while as well (double win).. however, when I got pregnant I immediately stopped taking all of my supplements, I truly missed my maca root and ashwagandha in the evenings. Although I haven’t taken ashwagandha since testing positive, I am now a day away from 28 weeks and I started taking my maca root again maybe 3 weeks ago. My energy has increased and my sex drive has come back (it vanished after bout 13 weeks and came full force throughout my second, went away again). Yes I feel bad due to lack of research but also, there’s no research? I haven’t had any complications luckily. Things my first pregnancy, I am 33 years old. I got my energy back, my sex drive back. I’m just sharing information if someone else was looking around like I was. I made sure to wait until later in my second trimester. I don’t regret it. My baby is as happy as can be and so is mommy.

Homemade Clove Oil

HELP!! I'm new to this lifestyle and learning with limited resources.

I tried making homemade clove and cinnamon oil for oral support.

Using coconut oil because it's good for teeth, but all I have is the solid oil.

It solidified in the jar. -_-

Will the oil draw what it needs to from the spices even in solid form?

And will putting it on the window sill ruin it all together?

Chronic insomnia for the past 1 year almost—now it feels dangerously bad n outta control

Been taking nearly every single herbal and mineral (like magnesium gly.) based (and combined) supplement and of every form at night. Nothing is working. Haven’t had melatonin lately though, I did instead have melatonin (5mg) sleep neuromints a month ago—didn’t work a bit, even with 2 every night. Should i buy a good natural, clean melatonin supplement that’s high in dosage and effective? If so please suggest an affordable one i can get. Have no idea what to do and im sorry. I have a chronic illness as well and it’s driving everything up and my body is in dysfunction.

Thanks

holistic remedies for bv?

i’ve been suffering from bv for a while now and every time i think it’s gone (for a day or so) it comes back.

the problem is i’m unable to go to the gyno as i’m underage and my mom would likely not take me.

im sure i have it as the odor is very present but i myself don’t really want to take any antibiotics or boric acid as i’ve heard it’s a very temporary fix.

please help me find natural remedies to help!! probiotics maybe?
