Hi all. I think I know of a few Asian supermarkets that might have the herbs I need based on what you have both said.
Thanks for the link Isabel. I’m get quite confused with hormonal stuff. I know when something doesn’t agree, I have epic breakouts but this suggests to me that I may have a hormone imbalance however when I don’t do anything and let my body be I am absolutely fine. I was on Microgynon 30 birth control pills and I really suffered, not just bad skin but awfully dark moods. Equally I really suffered taking fenugreek. I discovered pretty quickly that I don’t respond well to it but as I had a whole bottle of tablets I decided to take the highest recommended dose each day to finish the bottle quickly, which was 6 tablets a day, 610mg each. My skin was just awful however I had epic growing pains the whole time I was using them. I found a birth control pill that I agreed with – Yasmin. I found that to really work. I don’t really know the make up of these pills are but perhaps a bit of research into this may help to uncover herbs that may help. Also identify what the imbalance is.
So if I were on a BCP I would have to worry about what I was taking? Interesting makes me think about taking them again.
Actually Microgynon 30 bumped me up to a C cup/maintained my C cup as I slimed.
Yasmin didn’t help in that department at all.
I was also ok on kelp and ok on fennel but I took neither for as long as the fenugreek or in such dosages. I was on about 3 cups of fennel tea daily and 3 kelp tablets.
It’s all this sort of thing that has turned the me to the noogleberry and pumping. I will take collagen supplements and protein to support the growth but its external and it seems a safer option for me.
However your advice about taking liquorish in the later half of my cycle may be the answer. It could be a periodic boost to the program each month.
