Five or six years ago, I learned that I am not a wimp about "girl pain"; I double over every month because I have endo. Lucky me.
Not one thing has worked. For years, I have followed a strict regimen of painkillers and heat.
Yesterday, guess what showed up? Ugh. Then, Ric came home. Seems he bought me a remedy with primrose, dong quai, ginger, borage, chaste berry, vitamin A--heck, I know I am forgetting things, but it was all herbal from the organic company where we get our vitamins. I figured it was worth a shot.
You won't believe it. Ten minutes, the pain was gone. So, I wondered if any of you gals had used herbal remedies for female problems, and did you find any in particular effective? I am worried this might be a placebo effect, and I don't want it to be!

There is some research that suggests that going gluten free might help- if you are sensitive to it, it maight be causing you inflammation. Just another suggestion.... |

When you take single herbs that work great, it's all good. But for certain health issues the body needs more than just the single herb, which is one reason I really like formulas...they generally pack more punch for what ails you. Definitely take daily for at least a couple of months. You might want to try muscle testing to see when/how many you need to take.

I take vitamin A and E everyday for my breast fibroids. It was so bad in the past when I went to have my mam they thought I had breast cancer and I had to go through a biopsy and an untrasound. Then they figured out it was fibroids. My sister had to have a historectomy from her fibroids in her uterus were sooo bad.
God bless,

Alyce,
It sounds like the Mister did REAL GOOD!
I think I may need to try a remedy like that. I have always had the most excruciating pain (never got examined for Endo). But the pain reminds me of when I was pregnant and my tube ruptured (tubal pregnancy)
I am GLAD that you got some relief!

Thanks Rachel! Bonus points for the Mister, then!  The directions say to take every day, not just THEN. Hey, I can handle perpetual ginger breath.
I remember taking dong quai for a while when I was younger, but do you think the combination is what makes this so much more effective?

What he got for you is just what the herbalist ordered ;)!!! Those herbals all have "female" properties and are good for female reproductive type issues. It's amazing at how fast you get a response when you give your body what it needs.
