The weekend is here. This past week was a good week for me. I feel like I am reaching a goal I set some time ago. Thanks to the internet, along with communicating any way I can about this topic, I am reaching more and more women who want to try an natural alternative for a various list of female issues, such as:

-    Fibroid tumors, and Cysts
-    Endometriosis
-    PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome)
-    Pre-menopausal issues
-    Depression
-    Fibromylagia

and other issues many women face. One of the women I have been talking with made my day when she emailed me saying she is only 5 days into her herbal program and she feels good already. Balancing her hormones was one of her goals and she is receiving the benefits already from her natural program. This news made my day!

For some time now as I speak to women the topic of fibroid tumors seems to come up. Women have contacted me saying they had surgery now their fibroids have returned. Others describe how they have several fibroid tumors – different sizes and shapes forming in their uterus. Some have cysts on the ovaries along with it. Why is this becoming a more common issue for many women? Many are over age 30. I even talk to some who aren’t 30 yet. It has to do with a number of things that women are exposed to causing estrogen overload. We’re exposed to this through our diet, including hormone-injected meat, canned goods, plastics and more.

Stress is another problem that seems to be linked to fibroid issues. Many women have thyroid issues and the thyroid is important for hormone function in the body.

My goal is to continue to educate and share the natural herbal program I have to help women, so they can live healthy lives and go on to become mothers or do whatever they want to do.

If you want to learn about this program (that I will personalize for each client) contact me here on my website. It includes a good detox program, natural ways to balance your hormones and herbs that shrink and break up fibroids. If you know someone who can use this knowledge SHARE!!!

Have a great weekend,
Your herbalist,

I posted the question on my facebook fan page asking which celebrity motivates you to workout most? Is it:

Jillian Michaels with her six pack abs
Serena Williams with her athletic, muscular body
Beyonce with her curvy, tone body
Kristie Alley with her huge weight loss from dancing her a$$ off

Post your choice here on my blog or on my fan page.

With obesity being a growing issue in America we have got to get motivated. Whoever motivates you the most focus on that celeb and use it for your motivation. I love Jillian Michaels because I have a few of her workout DVDs and they are good. All are 30 minute workouts that gives the “burn.”

Hot Topics:

Many women have gained success using herbal supplements and lifestyle changes for endometriosis.

Read these testimonies:

Endometriosis was one of the reasons I found Nature’s Sunshine after laser surgery was futile. I originally started on Female Comfort and Colloidal Minerals with great success. I have had customers on Monthly Maintenance with great success also. I have also found by accident that All Cell Detox works as does C-X with Una de Gato. I would now (muscle) test my customers on all of these to see which would work best for them. Experience has shown that it may take as little as a few weeks or as much as a few months for complete pain relief. When pain does comes along, Feverfew and/or Una de Gato takes it away quickly. A colon cleanse would also help (would relieve pressure on the female organs.) –Theresa

“Endometriosis is a condition in which the cells from the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) also grow elsewhere in the abdominal cavity. It can produce a host of different symptoms, including incapacitating pain in the uterus, lower back, and organs in the pelvic cavity prior to and during the menses; intermittent pain throughout the menstrual cycle; painful intercourse; excessive bleeding, including the passing of large clots and shreds of tissue during the menses; nausea, vomiting, and constipation during the menses; and infertility.” In my practice, I have had excellent results with Red Raspberry. I have not tried Blessed Thistle, but this might work also. This is not a cure-all alone. Try to balance all of the hormones, but remember that endometriosis is accelerated by estrogen. Anyone with this condition should not go overboard on foods or supplements that promote estrogen in the body. Endometriosis usually declines during the peri-menopausal years and disappears at menopause. –Glenda

I have used Pro-G-Yam Cream (a natural progesterone cream) with great success. – Georgiana D

Aromatherapy treatment.

Alternative health therapy is becoming more popular. One recent article noted that Alternative medicine booming in popularity.

People are learning that prescription drugs and surgeries aren’t the only option to deal with health issues. Relief from Arthritis can be achieved with the ancient Chinese treatment of Acupuncture. Some people find relief with massage, a form of soft-tissue manipulation. Yoga is also great for Arthritis and other pain relief. It is also great for stress and even depression.

Herbs are another alternative that has been around for centuries, along with Aromatherapy for many health issues to cleanse, build and activate the system.

People find Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Naturopaths and Herbalists can offer the services they are looking for in dealing with various conditions from migraine headaches to female health issues.

People have testified that massage helped their serious back problems. One woman visited a Naturopath that gave her the answer to what was going on with her body with Fibroid tumors, Endometriosis and cysts. She was able to avoid surgery. One doctor recommends going to a local massage school for affordable massages. They aid in toxin removal and increases oxygen flow through out the body.

You can find great testimonies on this blog from people who got health benefits from herbs under TESTIMONIES.

Fertility massage is a powerful natural fertility treatment that has been used for centuries all over the world. The great thing about fertility massage is it can be use in conjunction with traditional treatments; one case in point is the use of fertility massage with IVF. The use of fertility massage leading up to your IVF procedure may help to increase your success rate of implantation. An increased incidence of implantation may be possible because the use of fertility massage increases blood flow and reduces adhesions that can block pathways, there by increasing your chances of implantation/conception.
Fertility massage is a complex and advanced form of massage that includes not one, but several different massage techniques. Six to be exact, five different forms of massage therapy and the sixth is castor oil therapy. It is the combination of these techniques that makes this therapy so beneficial. As stated above massage can increase blood flow to the organs there by increasing the function of the organ and also delivering a much more gratifying sexual experience!! I don’t think any woman will complain about that! This increased blood flow is partially because of a release of the adhesions, this tissue is completely normal in the body, however, when the tissue becomes over grown for whatever reason, it can cause an obstruction of the fallopian tubes…or any other organ.
Not only could fertility massage with castor oil increase your chances of conception, but massage of the reproductive organs may lead to less painful menstrual cycle, and alleviate symptoms of cysts, fibroids, and endometriosis. Women with endometriosis should consider learning these wonderful techniques as massage has shown effective at reducing adhesions, thereby reducing pain, commonly associated with endometriosis. Traditionally endometriosis is treated with surgery, which ironically can cause more adhesions. Learning and implementing these techniques can save you a lot of time, money, and pain!
However, that being said let me stress the importance of performing these techniques correctly and only during the time frame in which they are meant to be applied. As stated earlier there are 5 different massage therapies included in fertility massage and you must be sure to correctly perform each one as not to waste your time and receive the best results. Also, fertility massage should only be performed BEFORE pregnancy and not during your period.
Another important thing to remember is like with any other treatment there may be some side effects, these include a slightly heavier period after your first few sessions, increased bowl movements, and soreness. This increased menstrual flow is actually a good sign this will show you what you helped your body get rid of, the heavier flow is caused by the old adhesions and old blood clots you help break free. Also, you may experience a healthier digestive system as the massage also has a positive effect on your intestines by breaking loose all that old fecal matter. And last but not least after your first session your abdomen may be slightly sore, this is quite normal after your fist organ massage, although you should not be swollen or bruised!

This massage is great for women dealing fibroids, endometriosis and cysts.
