So I use to pluck moringa leaf from a tree close to a house I was staying to make tea.

Things were going smoothly and I loved it because it makes me relax without getting addicted.

There are several ways I could relax, but most of them especially things to take have a very dangerous[b] side effect: ADDICTION.[/b]

this is why I opted for moringa as the tea makes me feel well and grounded and helps me concentrate.

Things changed when I moved. I couldn't get any moringa tree around to pluck the leafs, and I just tried to forget about it.


My mind was off it totally when one day I mistakenly stumbled upon a thread on nairaland talking about the benefits of moringa, something I already knew. I was mistakenly going through the comments when someone said you can easily get it online or supermarket.

Supermarket? I mistakenly thought of it and decided to give it a try. It won't be fresh, but let me try it.

I mistakenly went to the supermarket and mistakenly asked for moringa. I was shown the section for tea and beverages and I mistakenly went there to look for it.

I didn't see moringa and I mistakenly looked well until I saw a packet written moringa.


I mistakenly picked it up, and saw that it was actually green tea and moringa. Instead of me to drop it, I mistakenly took it, thinking that the moringa covers for the green tea.

I haven't taken green tea, but I've heard of it. I mistakenly didn't consider the side effects, and I mistakenly bought the green tea disguised as moringa.


This was where my woes started. I mistakenly made the green tea moringa tea, and mistakenly drank it.

The taste was somehow, but not too bad. I felt alert and sharp, my memory clear and awesome.

I could remember things very clearly and my focus was sharp.

But I didn't know that I mistakenly started something that would have effect on me.

I wasn't looking forward to slimming down, I only wanted moringa tea to help me focus.


At first I felt clarity of mind and highly alert, but that was it. Any little thing, I quickly noticed and responded. Seems like I could hear ants walking, little details and sounds were very clear to me.

This was bad for me. The noise from moving cars, loud music, generator noise and noisy people around made it counter effective.

This wasn't the kind of clarity I wanted.

Actually want I needed was focus not total clarity. For me to be kinda numb to the world around and highly focused on things around me, the particular thing I'm attending to at the moment.


But I mistakenly took green moringa tea and it made me really light. My head was lighter than our current transparent black nylon.


Any little noise triggers me. I became restless and irritable.



Night sleep? Gone

Focus? Gone

Steeze? Reduced drastically.



Instead of me to stop at first try, I mistakenly took the green moringa tea again, and again, until...


It now seems like all my flesh are gone and like they use spoon to scrape what's remaining, just like how I usually scrap off burnt rice from the bottom of delicious jollof rice back then.



What do I do? I don't want to mistakenly continue, I want my focus back.

My steeze restored.

My peaceful night sleep restored.


How do I counter this effect fast the natural way without substance that causes addiction?

I genuinely empathize with you on your ordeal. But I have to say; this is the funniest thing I've read all week 😂

I wan mistakely comment. Sorry 4 d mistake of anything dat happened,

Hilarious!

Op, it was the caffeine in the green tea that mistakenly did you strong thing.
You seem to have low tolerance for caffeine.

How do I counter this effect fast the natural way without substance that causes addiction?

Lay off it (including any other stimulating substance) indefinitely.
It'll wear off.

How can only you make mistake about 17 times?

Start by being less mistaken about events and decisions you make, and become more intentional for one. By the way, I have been drinking green tea every day — at least 5 large cups a day — for many years now(I drink at least a gallon of either black tea or green tea a day), and I know for certain that green tea does none of what you claim. However, your write-up insisting that everything was mistakenly done by you leads me to believe this is more a mental issue than a physical one. This is because a lot of your symptoms can be traced back to mental illnesses. 😏

I would suggest you go see your doctor immediately and be open to seeing a professional mental health therapist at the same time.

What you’re drinking is colos! Nobody can tell me otherwise. Especially the way you described the noise and sound. The only surprise is that you haven’t started talking to yourself yet. I know you omitted that part, ’cause from your write-up… you’re already online. 😅

I mistakingly read your post

Caffeine? That onyibo word.
That means I learnt the hard way about caffeine.

I've rushed to discard it before it makes me make another extra mistake that might be more expensive.

It's not wearing off. I need something to recover fast

It shouldn't be the same, also green tea shouldn't give you such effect and they should also never be addictive.

Soo, ejo lowo ninu.

Water then. Plenty of it.

It'll detoxify your system, then you'll pass it out.

The "mistakenly" you keep using is a big turn off for me

The word “mistake” or “mistakenly” appeared a total of 19 times in your story.

Now, to help you restore your focus, peaceful sleep, and "steeze" naturally without using addictive substances, here are some quick, natural countermeasures:

🌿 1. Stop the Green Tea Moringa Immediately

Green tea contains caffeine, which is likely what caused:

Hyper-awareness

Irritability

Restlessness

Sleep loss


Just drop it — no weaning needed since you didn’t use it long-term.

🌙 2. Restore Your Sleep Naturally

Use non-addictive habits to reset your sleep rhythm:

Night herbal teas: Try chamomile, lemon balm, or rooibos (they don’t overstimulate).

Warm bath or foot soak before bed.

Magnesium-rich foods (e.g., spinach, pumpkin seeds, beans).

Sleep in a dark, quiet room or use earplugs/white noise app.

🧘🏾‍♂️ 3. Grounding Techniques for Focus

You want focus without hyper-alertness. Try:

Box breathing (4 seconds in – hold 4 – out 4 – hold 4).

Do 1 task at a time with background sounds that don’t trigger you (like rain or classical music).

Try morning sunlight exposure (10–15 minutes) — this balances your circadian rhythm and dopamine naturally.

🥬 4. Go Back to Pure Moringa

You can buy:

Dried moringa leaves

Or moringa powder (from organic/verified sources)


Just steep it as tea (without green tea), or even sprinkle in pap, smoothie, or soups.

🍲 5. Eat Balanced Meals

Avoid caffeine or sugar on an empty stomach. Eat:

Complex carbs: sweet potatoes, oats

Protein: eggs, beans, fish

Healthy fats: avocado, groundnut, coconut oil


They help your brain balance energy and restore your "steeze."

Yes Sir, moringa is really powerful. The downside is that it could lead to low blood sugar and running stomach when taken too much.

I boil the leaves with water and sieve, then use the water for tea...

Thanks for your offer. How can I get it
