The botanical name is Leonurus Cardiaca. It is very easy to grow if you have a yard. Let's correct that, it becomes a blinking WEED. Do some research on it before you start, OK?

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi Peggy, First, it's important to know if you're in menopause (defined by 12 full months without a cycle) or perimenopause (the years leading to actual menopause.) Determining which of these 2 phases of " the change " you're in is essential because many of the herbs (including Motherwort) that are helpful in menopause can actually be a poor choice (and even be dangerous) during perimenopause. Also, remember that the entire endocrine system is impacted by your changing hormones and many women experience blood sugar and thyroid issues during perimenopause, which can both manifest with heart palpitations. Heart palpitations are common in perimenopause and are often just the result of wildly fluctuating hormones. Be sure to avoid too many stimulants - coffee, cola's, chocolate, etc. As your hormones balance (closer to actual menopause and/or with the support of the proper herbs, supplements for your unique needs), your heart palipations will likely vanish. But, if you have concerns, be sure to see a medical professional. Michelle http://www.HolisticPerimenopause.com I know some ladies who swear by Motherwort tincture for that problem.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Peggy: I was suffering from the same thing and someone made me try Kangen Water. I didn't believe water could help, but tried it anyway. It WORKED!!! Since then I have learned so much about water... I became such a believer I now promote this water. Do your own reasearch... But if you like look at my link here www.livingalkaline.info <http://www.livingalkaline.info> and go and get a few good books i.e. Alkalize or Die, The Ph Miracle , another good one is Whats The Big Deal About WATER. I highly recommend those books.

Ginger root, licorice root, wild yam, dong quai, etc. can be made into a tea by simmering about a tsp per 8 oz cup of water in a small saucepan fro 20-30 minutes, strain and drink 3 cups per day. Other herbs to look into include black cohosh for hot flashes, motherwort is a specific herb for menopaue, raspberry leaf, oatstraw, and nettle are very high in calcium. Yellow dock root, nettle, alfalfa are high in iron. Connie www.LostRiverNaturals.com ~Organic Herbal Goodness for the Whole Family~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
