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!

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.

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?

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!

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,
Judy

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.
