Hello Womyn Herbal & Alternative Treatments for Womyns Well Being!

I think this would be an interesting thread to start a discussion regarding herbal and alternative medications and/or treatments for health issues specific to womyn.

For instance:

>PMS
>Menopause
>Water retention

list goes on!

What are some of your proven herbal and/or alternative treatments for your well being? Tell us a bit about why it works for you and why/what you recommend it for?

Cheers! Herbal & Alternative Treatments for Womyns Well Being!

I use Evening Primrose for PMS.

It works brilliantly for me - I don't even notice I have my period at all. Except if I forget to take it for the week before as I did recently, and actually thought I was going nuts hehe (as well as sore and bloated as hell).

Soooo ummm yea I find it pretty effective and so do a number of friends. I have no idea what brands are good in your countries but I just get ummm Healtheries or something here.

DISCLAIMER: I have no idea if this reacts with SSRIs or anything, I ain't noticed anything tho.

I also sometimes take B12 dots for a little energy kick (twinlab brand), but that doesn't really qualify as girly stuff.
