Motherwort<\/a>, and Lady\u2019s Mantle ameliorated almost all them. I use Vitex primarily for adenomyosis, which is uterine thickening that occurs when endometrial tissue that normally lines the uterus moves into the outer muscular walls of the uterus. It is similar to endometriosis, but the tissues develop beyond the uterus. Before I found Vitex, this disease was very painful and woke me up most morning with a heavy pressure on my lower abdomen; it felt like someone was standing on me. It also caused flooding and severe cramps during menses. The gynecologist gave me three options ~ take painkillers or inserting a hormone releasing vaginal ring or hysterectomy. She also mentioned that most symptoms dissipated after menopause. I decided to investigate what herbs were out there that could support my body during this time. I had heard and read about Vitex but there was no mention of ademomysis except it\u2019s abilities to \u201creboot the pituitary\u201d which relieved the pain of endometriosis along with dissolving fibroids and cysts; it just made sense to try it. Vitex tends to be slow acting; it usually takes three cycles to start working. \u00a0Lucky me, I started to feel relief within 3 weeks. All of sudden there was a sense of calm within me during the day and the painful morning started to become a memory (until I ran out).<\/p>\nI\u2019m back in FL again to support my family through a difficult period. This time all my tinctures are full. I do not need to learn this lesson again, especially during challenging times.<\/p>\n

Recently, I learned the hard way how well my herbal remedies worked ~ I ran out during a trip. I take some remedies to support my body and others to help ameliorate symptoms. Ever so often, I titrate down the dosage to see if I actually need as much as I am taking; less is always best in my book. However, I don\u2019t usually stop any of the tried and true ones. When packing for a recent trip to Florida, I didn\u2019t refill my tincture bottles; I thought I had enough for the ten day trip. I did have enough but when the trip ended up being extended for almost a month, I ran out. When I noticed my supplies getting low, I started to take half doses or even less. Unfortunately, I noticed some symptoms coming back and it became obvious that my body really needed more to ameliorate the symptoms. From a \u201cscientific\u201d point of view, this was great news. The tinctures were working very well. Although, it did make me rather uncomfortable until I returned home.<\/p>\n
