Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hi Laura...Your friend should take the Female Formula. You can look in the files and make it yourself or call Doc. This herbal formula is fabulous! My daughters and I have had great success with this formula . It has handled severe cramping to irregular periods very quickly for the girls and I use it for menepause hormone fluctuations.....Mary Ostrowski - " laura_e25 " <laura_e23 <herbal remedies > Friday, September 05, 2003 8:03 AM [herbal remedies] irregular periods > hi, > > i really would like to help my friend out...she has gone to several > doctors b/c she has really irregular periods...always has had a very > fluxuating cycle but lately it's much worse. she's now having > periods every 2 or 3 weeks--that last the normal amount of time for > her--has been going on for months. of course everyone she sees says > that she MUST go on the pill...but she realizes that this will > not " fix " anything and has no desire to do this to her body. i saw > that doc has several things listed as female formulas...but just > don't know where the best place to start would be...or if there is > anything else helpful to tell her...or ideas about why this happens. > a bit about her...she is fairly healthy but not as good as she could > be. she smokes (about 1/4 pack a day), drinks maybe twice a week, > eats fairly healthy veg. style but not all organic (not much in the > way of sugar/processed foods though) and she does exercise fairly > frequently--she jogs. any info would be great. thanks. > luv laura > > > > Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: > 1.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2003 Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Hypothyroidism is caused by a nutritional lack of iodine. The iodine in iodised table salt is not easily assimilated, and anyhoo, too much salt is not good for you anyway. Seaweed is the best organic source of iodine. You can buy it in an oriental grocery. (It is used to wrap sushi) It comes in dried sheets, and can be crumbled and sprinkled in soups, salads, etc. to kick start your thyroid. ....windflower --- laura_e25 <laura_e23 wrote: i will ask for > suggestions > about herbal remedies for hypothyroid since i don't > know much about > this. thanks for your input. > luv laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Using search facilities at the group website, search messages with " PCOS " as keyword and you will come across a number of suggestions for herbs, food changes and lifestyle changes needed to set the periods back to regular clock. In many cases where weight gain has occured along with irregular periods, certain panchkarma procedure aimed at detoxifying liver has helped regularising periods as well as offset increased weight (mainly fat accumulated near navel). This liver detoxification is a must when synthetic hormones have been used for a long time, 3 years in this case. Since ovaries get addicted to such help, it is an uphill task to bring them back to normal functions, unless liver is brought to shape. The reasons for this are explained in posts in archives, which can be searched. While Kumaryasav is a leading herbal medicine, there are many more which can be used. YOu may gather information unlimited; however, It is suggested that everything be done under supervision of a vaidya. Liver, Thyroid ovaries pancreas are all involved here, and it is better to be cautious when dealing with endocrine glands. When herbs or panchkarma does not help, author found that correcting energy channels using marma points clicked. There are a number of causes for this disorder, which include diabetic parents, grand parents, fast food, accidents, candidiasis etc. Since everyone is unique, may require patient specific protocol; it is a good policy to trust the vaidya treating you, rather than asking second opionions in a forum. Ayurveda is not a science matching symptoms with medicines/procedures.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 My daughter was about your age and she was advised hormones or operation both of which we did not want so i tried accupressure on her she became allright and also conceived very fast after marriage. I am sending this sketch to you press these points intermittently press, leave,press, leave and do for 50 counts on each point. I would suggest that you buy this book " health in your hands " by devendra vohra, it is very good for accupressure. i couldn't copy here so i am sending it as an attachment.** Kumariasav is a very good thing apart from that ashokarisht is good for all of women's ailments. You may read about it for yourself on the net. It will streamline the whole system. __________ hi i am 23 and having irregular periods since 5 years. i was on hormones for 3 years n then have started ayurvedic medication recently.
