Feel Good Herb for the Ladies

Every other month or so my crazy ovary kicks in and takes over. With that I get horrible pimples and get all emotionally crazed. But over time I was able to notice some changes in my skin and cycle. One year I had a horrible breakout on my forehead and the next year my cycle became irregular. So like my worrying self  I started to panic. With some research and being more attentive to all my issues, I realized my hormone were all crazy.

I like to look at the body at a big hormone or a bowl of hormones that coexist and harmonize to carry out specific functions. But once in a while one hormone wants to be the "Don" and throws everyone off track so it can do its thing. In woman we have estrogen, progesterone, and a little bit of testosterone. Depending on what the body is signally you can usually tell which hormone it is. If there are pimples on you chin or cheek bone area it is mostly likely to be estrogen or progesterone. If the acne is on the back or chest, this is usually testosterone....trying to turn you into a man LOL!

So what do you do? Get some Dong Quai! I love this herb. Its very useful. You can find it at whole foods or at any natural foods store. Dong Quai helps regulate hormones. I first starting taking the herb in 2009 and once I got pregnant I stopped taking it. I am back on it so help regulate everything after the baby. But the results are great. I feel not so up and down when my cycle comes and I am not all pimpled up anymore. Strong Caution! This herb will make you more fertile. So beware and strap up double time. So if you are out of whack you might want to consider this herb to get you back on track
