Do you feel healthier after salvia?

This leaf has some bonafide health benefits, I'm convinced.
I use plain leaf, sometimes extract.
Whether I use enough to go into a full blown trip, or just enough to 'feel' it, I get the two common salvia effects of a drawing or gravity feeling for a short time, followed by breaking into a quick sweat, also for a short time.

After this, I feel quite good for the remainder of the day, or at least a good 8 hours or so if I do it earlier. It's taken away headaches (after sometimes contributing its own mild onset for a few minutes), ironically made my lungs feel better, cleared my sinuses, set my mood very well.

I know it's documented that salvia as medicinal uses and I've even read it's a fix-all sort of drug.

Does anyone else find themselves experiencing an improved feeling of physical wellness after the main effects wear off?

 

Yes i feel healthier and happier.

 

After the trip, I feel euphoric and silly still. I then go into this strange mood that I'm kind of stoned out and sweaty and I feel bad. A couple minutes after that, I feel refresed and great! I agree with this as well!

 

I typicaly feel great for the next day or so, But i wouldn't use the stuff daily, as it is a stress on your mind to be thrown into new worlds all the time like that (mentaly not physicaly) Some research suggest that salvia is very soft on the body, but everyone knows it's hard on the mind mentaly

I don't think anyone would want to do it daily, i mean i just did all the salvia that i wanted to do so it was every couple of months i would get blasted out of my mind, and then after it i would be like "ahhh i am so glad i did that, i feel better than ever!!" But yeah i have the thing that colimon said i do feel bad for a little, but it is 100% worth it for all of what comes with it imo. Yeah so if you do it as much as you truley want to do it, than soon enough you will start getting tired of wanting to do it, since when you are in the trip (if i do salvia than its full blown trip or nothing) It does feel like something "wrong" or "not right" is happening. I know that feeling is psycological but it can really get to you. This is why i haven't smoked salvia for about 5 months, because i smoked as much as it took me to be satisfied.

 

I'm exactly the same, when I come out of the trip I feel very euphoric, but I always put that down to the natural euphoria of coming back to a stable reality, then I get the same stoned tired miserable feeling for about 5 mins but that is followed by a very refreshed "cleansed" re-energised feeling that can last the rest of the day.

I've also noticed a massive and sudden increase in my ability to concentrate about an hour after the trip. Like say if I was trying to learn a new song on the guitar or piano before the trip but wasn't able to get the hang of it, well if I try again about an hour after the trip it comes to me way quicker than usual. Or if I was working on a car earlier in the day, like changing a gear box and I was getting really frustrated, if I go back to it an hour after tripping I will usually get it done in super quick time without any problems or frustration.

As for it having any definate medicinal uses though, I'm not sure. I mean ailments always feel worse if you are in a bad mood and not so bad if you are in a realy happy mood, so that might be all thats going on, just a mood elevation, but who knows, there might be more to it.

 

Laughter is proven to help with some illness and healing faster, also it has been proven that decreased pain improves healing in major injurys like a broken arm. Why not a happier mood speeding up healing, at lest you'll be happier.
