Ovarian cysts is a problem I have had for some time. In the last three years I was poked at and put into machines so the doctors might find the problem . With every visit I would get the same thing, you are healthy and we don't see anything.
Well then why do I have pain that bothers me daily? This is my question. For me my pain was on going, I couldn't walk very well as I would have sharp shooting pains. Sleeping was uncomfortable as well. Head aches non stop and then the off an on menstrual. The list goes on but Ill stop here. The doctors kept saying they same thing, We are not sure what was going on. Doctor said: maybe it would be best to be put you on some type of birth control to fix the problem or take out your working girls ( ovaries).
I was not OK with either one of those, as my doctor could not find a problem. SO, I decided to take my life my body into my hands. I started doing some reading and while taking my online course I read about these two infusions that would help with my lady parts
I thought to my self I need to try something. So, I ordered my herbs and once I got them started making the infusions. After about a week or so I noticed I was not having pains. Before I started the herbal infusions I was keeping tract of all my symptoms. Its help me see on paper ( my wall calendar) just how many days it was with out my on going symptoms.
Here are the two herbs I used to help me.
You will usually only have symptoms if you have a cyst that:
- ruptures (splits)
- is very large
- blocks the blood supply to the ovaries (torsion)
In these cases, you may have the following symptoms:
- pelvic pain – this can range from a dull, heavy sensation (associated with large cysts) to a sudden, sharp pain (associated with a ruptured cyst or torsion)
- pelvic pain during sexual intercourse
- difficulty emptying your bowels
- frequent need to urinate
- changes to your normal menstruation – you may have heavy periods, irregular periods or lighter periods than normal
- a feeling of fullness and bloating
- indigestion or feeling very full, even though you have only eaten a little
- lightheadedness or dizziness
- extreme tiredness (fatigue)
Red Clover (trifolium praetense) grows in your back yard, or down the street. The flowers are actually purple in color. Harvest flowers for infusion, along with the set of leaves that closely collars the flower. Dry them out flat, not touching. This infusion tastes the most like black tea, largely because of its tannins. But red clover is rich in chromium, tin, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium and thiamine. It is often used to promote fertility, used daily for 3 months. It has good amounts of phytoestrogens that the body can use to make estrogens, so it can help soften symptoms of menoopause. It is also widely used as an anti-cancer herb.
RED RASPBERRY LEAVES (
Rubus spp.)
Brewed as a tea or as an infusion, raspberry is the best known, most widely used, and safest of all uterine and pregnancy tonic herbs. It contains fragrine, an alkaloid which gives tone to the muscles of the pelvic region, including the uterus itself.
Most of the benefits ascribed to regular use of Raspberry tea through pregnancy are traced to the nourishing source of vitamins and minerals found in this plant and to the strengthening power of fragrine - an alkaloid which gives tone to the muscles of the pelvic region, including the uterus itself. Of special note are the rich concentration of vitamin C, the presence of vitamin E and the easily assimilated calcium and iron. Raspberry leaves also contain vitamins A and B complex and many minerals, including phosphorous and potassium.
The benefits of drinking a raspberry leaf brew before and throughout pregnancy include:
~ Increasing fertility in both men and women. Raspberry leaf is an excellent fertility herb when combined with Red Clover.
~ Preventing miscarriage and hemorrhage. Raspberry leaf tones the uterus and helps prevent miscarriage and postpartum hemorrhage from a relaxed or atonic uterus.
~ Easing of morning sickness. Many attest to raspberry leaves' gentle relief of nausea and stomach distress throughout pregnancy.
~ Reducing pain during labor and after birth. By toning the muscles used during labor and delivery, Raspberry leaf eliminates many of the reasons for a painful delivery and prolonged recovery. It does not, however, counter the pain of pelvic dilation.
~ Assisting in the production of plentiful breast milk. The high mineral content of Raspberry leaf assist in milk production, but its astringency may counter that for some women.
~ Providing a safe and speedy pariuntion. Raspberry leaf works to encourage the uterus to let go and function without tension. It does not strengthen contractions, but does allow the contracting uterus to work more effectively and so may make the birth easier and faster.
How to make an infusion:
- Place herbs in a glass container. I use a quart jar.
- Pour boiled water over the herbs to cover.
- Cover glass container with a tight fitting lid or a saucer to keep steam and volatile oils from escaping.
- Steep 4 hours or over night
- When the water has cooled to room temperature or steeped the recommended period of time, strain the spent herb.
- The resulting liquid is called an infusion.
Tips:
- Keep glass covered at all times to contain the steam.
- An infusion can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
- If a stronger beverage is desired, that is called a decoction.
What You Need:
- 1 Ounce Weighed Dried herb of your choice
- Boiling hot water
- Glass jar with tight lid or saucer to cover
