Missed periods (not pg)

[Guest guest]

Is there a natural way to get my period to start? My last period was in

early October and I don't feel as if it's healthy to go so long

without. I am not pregnant, it's most likely due to an overload of

stress. My ob/gyn examined me, found everything normal, and recommended

I start on birth control pills. I am not crazy about the levels of

hormones I would get in the pills though my doc assures me they are

perfectly safe.

 

I am trying my best to relieve the stress and craziness in my life but

it is a long, uphill battle. Too much going on at this point in time.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thank you.

Try Black Cohosh. 2 caps 3 times a day.

For stress take tai chi classes. The slow movements will help greatly.

I think it best that you refocus your energy off the stress, and into

positive things in life. That's first off. Don't take b.c. it will

create an imbalance in your hormones, causing an imblance of

homestasis in the body. Though, your body most likely is not at

homeostasis considering the way you are feeling. Now, as far as your

diet... have you had your body fat content checked? Are you under

weight, that will cause your period to be off. Or are your constantly

hanging around other girls? The feramones (if I spelled that

correctly) given off by other women can throw your cycle off, of

course last October is a long time. If your body fat % is less than

12%, your body will usually stop having a period. And if you are

working out alot, and then stop for awhile, and having different

things going on all the time, that throws it off balance. Like I

said, start with refocusing your energy into positives, when you

stress... say your blessings. " Thank-you Lord for the food I have,

the job I have, the life I live, the gifts you have given me... etc. "

Also, is it possible when you were younger you had hated having a

period, and were angry every time you had your period? In the past I

would " I hate being a woman! " Awful thing to say, I know. And now,

when I have my period, I say " Thank-you Lord for giving me the gift

and abiliies to bear a child, to create new life. Thank-you for

reminding that I am a woman. " I hope that helps. I know it's alot. I

try to analyze from every angle.

Jamie,

 

You don't mention how old you are. Are you approaching that oh-so-wonderful

change of life?

The average age for women to start experiencing premenopausal symptoms is

35.

 

Your doctor lied. Birth control pills are NOT perfectly safe. Do not take

them! <Sheesh - doctors these days!>

 

Black Cohosh can be dangerous. It has been shown to cause liver damage, and

it is not recommended for someone who is at risk for breast cancer.

YOu don't want to take Birth Control Pills. Results

from testing done for the SCIO shows them as more

disasterous to your body than helpful.

 

First thing you need to do is reduce the amount of

stress you are placing on your body. Be it stress,

poor nutrition, nutritional deficiency etc. Excersize

30 minutes that breaks a sweat 3 times a week is an

excellent stress reducer. Staring into an aquarium has

stress and blood pressure reducing qualities.

Jamie,

 

One way to balance hormones is through the use of Reflexology.

It is harmless and can be a remarkably effective tool for

restoring balance at many levels. You can even learn to do it

yourself.

Visit http://reflexology-research.com for more information.

 

From the plant kingdom, a Rainforest Formula called Lunazon

was designed to restore balance to the female cycle.

Ask me about it off list.

Another simple and relatively inexpensive way that may help would be

to purchase some Clary Sage oil.

 

Clary Sage oil, like a few others, is known for assisting in balancing

the female hormones. It's really great for PMS, and the headaches

which may be caused by it. But it is an overall good woman's herb/oil.

 

Take about 10 drops to the ounce in a carrier oil, olive, grapeseed,

etc., and massage it to the area on the INSIDE of the ankles. Start

down towards the area below the ball of the ankle and work upwards to

about midcalf. Again, to make sure that you are working on the INSIDE

of the ankles. Making sure to work from the lower part of the ankle

upwards to about midcalf on each leg.

 

Three different acupuncture meridians -- the Liver, the Kidney, and

the Spleen -- all run in that general area. All three have important

processes and dump energy into the area of the genitalia, the lower

abdomen and those organs, and the hips.

 

I would not be surprised to find that these areas, when you touch

them, are sore. There is energy that the body needs which may not be

able to move to the hips and organs of the lower abdomen -- there may

be energy stuck there in the ankles, or there may be a deficiency of

energy in that area. Without being there and literally getting my

hands on you, it's difficult for me to say with 100% certainty.

 

Another place you might consider working is a point which is

approximately three fingerwidths below the knee on the inside of the

leg. It is round about an attachment of three different tendons, but

is more commonly known (if memory serves) as something like the " Three

Mile " point. It too may also be quite sore. It's also an area where

the three meridians I mentioned earlier cross or come close to it.

 

Another point to consider would be one which sits halfway between

where the neck and shoulder meets and the outer tip of the shoulder.

When you apply pressure to it, you should almost feel your fingers

drop into a void of sorts. This point is actually located between a

couple of muscles of the shoulder. It is one which might also be worth

looking into.

 

Most importantly, if you have seen a traditional medical doctor and

they cannot find anything " wrong, " then perhaps seeking out the

thoughts and a second or third opinion from a doctor of Oriental

Medicine and acupuncturist would be the wisest move.

 

I am only a massage therapist who has been trained in the use of

acupressure. I cannot give out diagnosis of any kind, but I can make

suggestions. One of which would be to get another opinion from another

health care provider. They would be able to provide insight and

guidance that no one else can.

 

Hope this helps some.

Dawn

Does this popular menopause herb really work?

 

Here they go again. The media is back bashing a popular, and effective, herb

for menopausal symptoms. How like them. The source of the new round of

bashing is a study that says this herb doesn't work.

 

The authors of the randomized, double-blind study published their work in

the Annals of Internal Medicine (December 2006). They found that black cohosh

either used alone or with other herbs, didn't work any better than a sugar

pill to reduce hot flashes.

 

But dozens of other studies, and dozens of my patients, disagree. They say

black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa) reduces menopausal hot flashes, night

sweats, and irritability.

 

For instance, a review of 19 randomized, double-blind studies, published two

months earlier says black cohosh works just fine. So does a review of

botanicals and dietary supplements used for menopausal symptoms out of the

University of Illinois College of Medicine.

 

But that's not all. Years ago, a standardized black cohosh supplement called

Remifemin came on the market. Its manufacturer had it tested in more than 90

scientific studies. All of them showed that the herb is effective.

 

I don't know what quality of black cohosh the researchers used in this most

recent study. There's certainly some poor quality herbs out there. But I can

tell you that this bad press undoubtedly will turn women to hormone

replacement therapy, which we now know causes serious side effects - including

breast

cancer! Not so with black cohosh. It either reduces hot flashes or it

doesn't. But there aren't any negative side effects.

 

So any woman with hot flashes should try black cohosh before turning to

hormones. It's safe and effective. More than 90 studies say so.

 

You can find black cohosh at any health food store or in Women's Preferred

Hot Flash Formula (800-728-2288).

Liver damage has been reported in a few individuals using black cohosh, but

millions of people have taken the herb without apparent adverse health effects

[_28_ (http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/BlackCohosh.asp#en28) ]. While

studies of black cohosh have not provided scientific evidence to show that the

herb causes liver damage, one country has added a warning to the label of all

products containing black cohosh, stating that it may cause harm to the liver

of some individuals and should not be used without medical supervision [_29_

(http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/BlackCohosh.asp#en29) ].

 

Does black cohosh interact with any drugs or laboratory tests?Although black

cohosh has not been reported to interact with any drugs or to influence

_laboratory tests_ (http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/showterm.asp?tID=302) ,

this

has not been rigorously studied.
