Well, what was a surprise! After taking Chinese Angelica
(Don Quai) tincture twice, my moon time arrived this morning, seemingly out of
the blue. Last week’s painful ‘phantom period’ lasted about 5 days – the usual
length of my moon time and all symptoms were abating so I assumed ‘the moon moment’
had passed. I saw a friend on Wednesday who suggested the Angelica for helping
to stimulate my libido, and it seems like it may have stimulated my flow too!
All I can say is WOW.
I have found all the herbs I have used so far to be effective at managing my symptoms,
but I really do find this quite amazing. I knew the herb was also generally highly rated for menopause and regulating the hormones but I didn’t expect such a
dramatic, fast working response. I used about 2mls of tincture on Wednesday
night, 2mls on Thursday morning and was intending to continue this dose every
morning until my next moon time started - I certainly didn’t recon on it being
Friday morning! (It isn’t recommended to take it when you’re bleeding as it can
make it heavier – I am also concerned that it might make the bleed last longer.)
So, the end result of this little experiment is that I will
wait until my moon time has stopped before re-commencing and lower the dose a
bit as it seems pretty pokey stuff. I will report back later when I have more info
on how it affects my libido…
While we are on the subject of herbal remedies, I want to
start exploring the really strange emotional state I have been experiencing of
late. I have already mentioned that I am not entirely sure everything I have been
experiencing is being directly caused by the menopause. Among other things, I
have been wondering if some of it has been caused by a negative reaction to taking
St John’s Wort. It has been really hard to figure out exactly what is going and I
imagine I will need a while to look at it more deeply. So I will continue writing for now and share it on on the
next post.
Goddess Blessings ♥
