PMS REMEDIES HORMONE BALANCE INFERTILITY SOOTHING AROMATHERAPY BALM



I came up with a blend of balm for women who would like to soothe their discomfort during menstruation and those with infertility to promote balance.

Lemon Balm aka Melissa: It is also a very good remedy for the reproductive system, relaxing spasm causing menstruation cramps, and relieves irritability and depression associated with PMS. Lemon balm also regulates the period and has been used traditionally to relax and strengthen women during childbirth and to bring on the afterbirth. Both postnatally and during menopause lemon balm can relieve depression.

Other ways to handle PMS:

Avoid junk, bad fats, lots of juices and sodas

Increase your vitamin d and calcium

Weeks before  eat good protein, veggies and the above

GHEE BENEFITS








So we finally are gluten free, yay!! I am not a vegan yet  but do consider myself a vegetarian or pescatarian. I eat mostly organic if possible and eat whole foods(nothing fat free or low fat) in small portions. Anyways we tried Trader Joe's ghee and we are in love! It should not be stored in the fridge and it tastes like fresh churned butter. Great on bread, pasta and good for cooking/baking/roasting. I believe it costs around $3.00+4.00 not sure though and you only need 1 tbsp for cooking.

And the good news is additionally, people allergic to milk protein can generally consume ghee. Yes! Since I no longer drink Cows milk, this is good news to us. If you have a cholesterol problem, then use ghee and butter in moderation. Otherwise, ghee and butter actually protect against arteriosclerosis as long as the overall diet is healthy. Consumption of refined, processed carbohydrates and fats are primary triggers of heart disease. Additionally, butter and ghee are rich sources of vitamin A and also contain vitamin D.

When butter is cooked long enough for the water in the butter to completely evaporate and for the milk solids to brown and produce a nutty flavor, you get a butter product called ghee. Ghee has a long history in Indian culture-and many other parts of the world!-for its use not only in meal preparation, but in holistic remedies as well. If you’ve never tried ghee, you may want to consider it for one of these delicious or healthy applications:

Use ghee to fight inflammation: Ghee has been shown to reduce leukotriene secretion and reduce prostaglandin. Prostaglandin levels and leukotriene secretion both play a role in inflammation, which can not only lead to unpleasant physical reactions (redness, swelling, itchiness, etc.), but it can also accelerate the aging process.

Ghee aids in ensuring proper digestive health as well. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine as a topical cure for blisters and burns, ghee may also help in minimizing stomach acid while simultaneously repairing the gut’s lining. In fact, practitioners of said system of traditional medicine recommend ghee to those who suffer from peptic ulcers. Ghee, being entirely made of fat, helps in the production of digestive enzymes as well. When the latter are in balanced levels in the body by way of eating ghee regularly, then problems such as indigestion may be minimized.

And much more! So try some Ghee today!
