WHAT HERBS HAVE YOU TAKE AND WHAT ARE THEY FOR?

babydustglitter said on 11/1/2008 7:42:47 AM Report this post
Am I allowed to answer or will there be another post saying I post too much?!?! Did you see that??? Sorry...

Any way, currently I am on baby aspirin (I know, not an herb!) to help my uterus in hope I will stop having M/Cs.

Also 8 flavor pill (which is a combo of Chinese herbs) AF-O:

"Chinese Herbs Direct's Eight Flavor Rehmannia contains a precise formulation of eight different traditional Chinese herbs which act in harmony to offer a balanced, energizing formula. The formula is cooked as a tea, blending all ingredients prior to extraction to maximize the benefits of each individual ingredient while creating the synergy essential and unique to Chinese herbs. Low temperature processing is employed to slowly concentrate the extracts, protecting, releasing and maintaining all essential ingredients. Each teapill contains the following beneficial herbal ingredients:

Shu di huang (Rehmannia glutinosa/foxglove root-prep.) - nourishes blood, enriches essence
Shan zhu yu (Cornus officinalis/dogwood tree fruit) - tonifies qi
Shan yao (Dioscorea opposite/Chinese yam rhizome) - provides harmonic body balance
Ze xie (Alisma plantago aquatica/water plantain rhizome) - promotes urination
Mu dan pi (Paeonia suffruticosa/peony tree root-bark) - clears heat, cools blood
Fu ling (Poria cocos fungus/mushroom filaments) - provides tranquility; relaxes muscles
Huang bai (Phellodendron amurense/cork tree bark) - drains damp heat, reduces pain/swelling
Zhi mu (Anemarrhena asphodeloides rhizome) - reduces heat and irritability"

IF YOU DON'T HAVE EXCESS HEAT, TAKE 6 FLAVOR PILL INSTEAD!!!


And I take Free & Easy Wanderer O-AF:

"Chinese Herbs Direct's Free & Easy Wanderer contains a precise formulation of eight different traditional Chinese herbs which act in harmony to offer a balanced, harmonizing formula. The formula is cooked as a tea, blending all ingredients prior to extraction to maximize the benefits of each individual ingredient while creating the synergy essential and unique to Chinese herbs. Low temperature processing is employed to slowly concentrate the extracts, protecting, releasing and maintaining all essential ingredients. Each teapill contains the following beneficial herbal ingredients:

Chai hu (Bupleurum chinense root) - alleviates qi stagnation
Bai shao (Paeonia lactiflora/white peony root) - removes sludge in the blood, mild pain killer
Dang gui (Angelica sinensis root) - enriches blood and promote circulation
Bai zhu (Atractylodes macrocephala rhizome) - stimulates immune system, aids digestion
Fu ling (Poria cocos fungus/mushroom filaments) - provides tranquility; relaxes muscles
Sheng jiang (Zingiber officinale rhizome/ginger root) - improves circulation
Gan cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis/licorice root) - stimulates immune system, aids digestion
Bo he (Mentha haplocalyx/field mint herb) - calms mind, expels heat, relieves cough"

* the herb that helps with cough works same as couch syrup, so you get more CM next cycle...this is all something you take ahead of the game, if you know what I mean.

I WOULD NEVER SUGGEST ANYONE TAKE TCM/HERBS/SUPPLIMENTS WITHOUT FIRST SEEING IF THESE HERBS ARE THE RIGHT FIT FOR HER AND THAT THEY ACTUALLY WORK TOWARDS YOUR 'ISSUES'. ALSO THAT THEY DO NOT AFFECT ANY MEDS YOU ARE ON AND THAT YOU ARE NOT ALLERGIC TO ANY OF THE HERBS. Herbs are very powerful, despite what many think.

I take these two sups as I have high BBT after O, my FP and LP needed to be lengthened, and I have endo so also blood stasis. Haven't had that sticky BFP yet, but hopefully soon!!! These herb sups are to help my body clean itself out so pregnancy is possible. I used to take Red Rasp to do the same as the aspirin. Oh, and I drink Green Tea as it has antioxidents in it and take EPO for extra CM. :)

I think I read your ? wrong and meant what all have I tried...sorry! These are all to be taken at diff points in your cycle...

Dang Qui (angelica) - nourishes blood/eases PMS/regulates hormones when taken with Chai Hu

Nettles - cleanse blood/relieve damp reproductive symptoms of PMS/detoxifies

Black Cohosh - known to aid in fertility/energizing effect/relieves irritability (has slight drying effect though!)

Peach Kernel - breaks up blood stasis so black blood will flow red/if irregular flow, will regulate (not to be used after O)

Cinnamon - invigorates blood, transform stasis, and move the blood tissue out (great for endo sufferers)/relief from menstrual pain/regulates hormones/makes uterus warm and cozy place an egg would want to implant in


There may have been more, but I can't think of them right now...
