Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I just joined this list. I had a hysterectomy in November and am looking for natural support in healing. I am already following a few nutritional recommendations--folic acid, iron, and B vitamins--and using homeopathy, primarily for addressing fatigue. Additional suggestions would be welcome. In searching the archives for posts related to my interests, I came across this one about endometriosis. I understand that acupuncture tends to be very effective in treating gyn issues, so you may want to recommend that your friend with endometriosis consult a few acupuncturists.
