Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Hello, everyone.... I'm having an interesting problem in my postpartum recovery. I've heard of women having this problem, but never thought it would happen to me! It seems that I have so much more space in the vaginal area now that when I do certain asanas in which my legs are spread wide, or the opening to the vagina is spread wide, that a pocket of air gets into that space and later produces what sounds like a fart as it gets squeezed out again. It's kinda embarassing. I am, of course, doing mula bandha/kegels, but wondering if there are other things Ayurvedically that can be done to close up that space more. Other exercises (I am familiar with Ashwini mudra as well) or suggestions? Thanks for understanding! It's not something I would tell many people. Blessings, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Hi Connie; If you can't talk about these kind of things here, where can you? I to used to have this problem, and I don't know when it went away! Being post menopausal now, it has been many years. I have never given it thought, but off the intuitive side I'd try a small pitu (ghee or sesame oil soaked piece of flannel or other cloth) vaginally at night with some regularity and see what that does. Air, and tendency to hold it is a vata thing, so is space. Oil is so good for vata reduction. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks, Martha. That's an interesting idea. Being highly Vata and Pitta, I do have that air tendency! I'm glad to hear of someone else who had this problem. I think no one wants to talk about it, but several people experience it. Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Hi Martha. I'm confused about the instructions on how to take the thyromin perhaps you can help me. It says measure your temp for 3 - 5 days, I did this......... 96.1, 96.5, 97.1, 96.5, 96.7. This was taken under my armpit first thing. I can't figure out what Gary is saying in his instruction sheet, something about reducing the degree's by either 1 or two if under arm-pit. It's not easy English perhaps you can explain it to me.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 That question about dryness on the skin of the leg is something perhaps different than just skin dryness. It is a very specific shiny scaliness on the shins (it's not psoriasis) that even starts with at young age. No amount of skin moisturizing seems to help it. I wonder what it is. I have had it for years. Vicky ---- ayurveda 12/09/04 17:20:51 ayurveda Re: perhaps unusual question Thanks, Martha. That's an interesting idea.

The shiny scaliness has me stumped ... I have now several little dry scaly patches, very slow growing sometimes though the one on my leg has remained about the same many years. But they aren't shiny. Saroj tells me they are the basal cell carcinoma, the slow growing kind. I have not found anything to clear them either, and similarly, no creams really seem to help although I once had a wellj-woman exam with a nurse midwife who advised me to just keep it lovingly well oiled. What I want to know is, is this the kind of skin cancer which is said to create higher risk for internal cancers? And what I want to do about it is two things: 1) long slow deep blood/liver cleansing knowing that liver and skin have such a relationship and 2) when I feel I can afford it, use the new Young Living skin care trio (they call it ART) which I hear is showing some amazing short term results even on many such things. It is pricey like other top of the line skin care products, but unlike most is safe enough to eat. Wow, I just read in a book I inherited on fats, a chapter about how most lotions on the market contain the rendered fats from diseased or ethenized animals plus processed remains of restaurant grease. I've a strong mind an stomach, but I had to quit eating my dinner. I guess I used such cheaper creames and things for years, although it has been more since. I wonder if it is in suncreens too? The good news is we can make changes, and I believe if we keep asking, we will find answers. Then we have to act on them! God Blesses us, we just have to find and know!

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 well, of the two I could probably afford the liver/blood cleansing, though I don't see how we get dirty blood, between the kidneys and liver working all the time. Milk thistle? Yes, I also get those small dry patches, I can almost pick them off, and they are white. Mostly on the legs.
