For a while I thought something was wrong with my uterus. My period are extremely painful, short, clotty, and heavy. I went to my gyno and got bloodwork done for hyperthyroidism and anemia and that came back clear. I’m too young to be going through “the change” so, I started doing some research and found out my estrogen is suuuper high and my progrestrogen is suuper low. My other symptoms included: adult acne, night sweats, dry skin, memory fog (which I assumed was from past drug use), stomach issues, low sex drive, fatigue, and chronic thirst.
I’m against pharmaceuticals unless it’s 100% necessary. I know that midwives in the past have had to have helped with similar women’s complaints before. I made a tea with what I found.
1 part dandelion- bloating, liver detox, aids digestion, prevents UTIs
1 part raspberry leaf- helps GI tract, filled with vitamins A, K, iron, calcium, and magnesium, helps PMS symptoms, nausea, cramping, mood swings, and stabilized period
1/2 pt nettle- reduces inflammation and reduces PMS symptoms
1 pt ashwaghanda- reduces anxiety, stress, and depression
A pinch of mugwort- relieve gas, ease cramps, increase appetite, cleanses GI tract, relieves tension, helps circulation (do not use if pregnant or for more than 5 days at a time)
1 pt licorice root- anti inflammatory, helps with autoimmune fertility issues (endometriosis, recurrent miscarriages, blood clot disorders), blood sugar levels, digestive and cervical mucus production
1 pt burdock root - removes extra estrogen, helps with acne
Add your favorite sweetener. I add honey because it’s a natural antibiotic
I’ll make a master post in the near future for all the herbs and supplements for women’s health in the near future. ❤️
