Hi guys, ok I'm finally going to buy my herb pills today and I want to start taking them tommorow  ....This is what I want to start with. Oh by the way if ya'll forgot from my old threads. I'm 5'1 98lbs A cup and am estrogen dominat. So anyway I'm going to buy -Saw palmetto -Wild Yam -Fennel -Fenugreek -Red clover and I want to do Pammys routine for the massage part like using: - 1 tbsp extra vigin oil -5-10 capsules evening primrose oil - 1 dropper full fennel extract So anyways here's my question does this sound like a good way to start out with or due to my estrogen dominat which ones should I leave out?  Also when I do the massage, should I do it slow or fast and soft or hard? |

Hi there...just had one question for u...
How many mgs will u be taking of each herb? You left that part out and I was just curious...
Make sure that if u are buying individuals, that u start out slow to make sure that u don't have any reactions. Start one herb at a time...I think one herb for a few days by itself before putting another one into the equation and so on. I am not sure if there is one that u should start first, so hopefully someone else could answer that for u. I am just going off of what I have read in other posts. So someone correct me if I am wrong.
Good luck to u,
Kelly

I'd skip the fennel and RC for now. Just my opinion.

I would think starting one herb at a time and taking 3 times a day would be ok...but I could be wrong. Like I said before, I would wait a few days before adding anything else, just to make sure u don't have any reactions to it.
Hold out til a more experienced member adds to this thread. Just make sure that u don't start too high a dose too soon...u need to make sure u start in moderation, that way later on when u need to, u can adjust your routine as needed. If u start too high, there won't be any room to tweak.

See Kelly, it's not rocket science after all!  You've provided just fine advice. Start out slowly, perhaps just adding one herb every 4-5 days. Generally, starting out about 1g's with all, except fenugreek, should suffice. Add about 500mg a day until you've reached 2g's approximately for each herb you're interested in trying. Fenugreek should not be taken in excess of 1.5g's..almost all suffer side-effects, including nassy cellulite, with too much of that herb a day. We've all got opinions based on some great research done by our members, and I'll express mine  . M97's not a fan of RC and fennel, I personally am. However, W/Y is the one that's really up for grabs. To figure this out... Do something simple for a coupla weeks, like RC and SP only. Rate your system's response. Then add a new herb each week like, W/Y or Fennel or Fenugreek, and see how ur body responds. Hope that helps! Good luck! |

Thanks guys. This weekend I bought SP, Wild yam, and fenugreek, and I took 1 sp 500mg saturday, 1 wild yam 500mg sunday, and 1 fenugreek 610mg this morning to check for reactions, but so far so good, only thing I've noticed is that those pills are making me hungry more often ;D. Anyways I did not know those pills were going to be so big, and I hate swallowing pills  but I'm going to make myself but if I'm supposed to take like 1 gram of each one a day 3x a day, that's 6 or 8 pills I have to take 3x a day that's like 18 pills a day does that sound right? That sounds like an awful lot, and a lot of hassle, I'm wondering if I should just try a couple pills that have all this combined like feminique or something cause geez...... |

wooohhh :othis is weird, I just took my first ever pill of fenugreek 610mg 30 min ago and I just started feeling a slight pain like tingles in my left breast like under my nipple, is this all in my head or could it be the pill?....Also, in regards to my post earlier, maybe I should do the breenbush enhancement blend, it sounds easier, than takin all those individual herbs.....

Hey TStar- Yeah, if ur going to take W/Y, SP, and Fenugreek, then the GreenBush Enhancement Blends would be a route for you. You've still have to take 5 pills to get to 1g of stuff, so if ur planning on 1.5g of fenugreek, that is still 8 pills. So, it's like pick ur evil.  Umm, as far as sensations, not so fast usually, but yes, what ur describing are commonly reported from growers. Good luck for continued sensations! |

Hey Tiny,
Just read your post and thought I would throw my 2 cents in. I also experienced sensations very soon after starting herbs. It is definitely a good feeling when u see that u are responding to them...I think the first sensation I had was about 3 or 4 days after starting...but don't get your hopes up too soon. You will not sprout overnight. This does take a while. I think it's great that u are having sensations already though...that is a good sign. I have been at this over 2 months and did increase, only to lose it...I think I am rebounding now...but again, for most of us, this can take some time to see good results.
Good luck to u and keep us posted...
Kelly

Hey TStar...not quite sure of what doses the pills are, but if ur taking 5 diff types, and each pill is about 500mg, then 18pills sounds about rite. However, for 1g each..u should only be at about 10-12 pills, my thinking. |

If you're on an herbal routine, you will just have to get used to popping pills. 18 a day (I would say) is about average. Some people probably take more, some less. You can always go to liquids if pills are too inconvenient for you.

Oh ok just wanted to make sure that was about right, cause I was like geez sounds like an awful lot I'm putting in my body... Another question, and I looked at previous posts but couldnt find my answer. Since I'm pretty much broke right now, and I didnt buy my massage stuff, would doing a dry massage make any difference? well I've been using regular lotion.....or should I just not do one at all without boobie batter stuff.. |

Massages should help, dry or with batter of some sorts. |
