The wonders of Agnus castus…

Agnus castus maybe familiar to you as the helpful hormone herb for women, which indeed it is but to be a lot more specific, it’s VERY helpful for one of the two types of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

 

There are two main hormones involved in the female menstrual cycle – progesterone and oestrogen. Some women have high levels of oestrogen with low levels of progesterone, whilst others have low oestrogen with high progesterone. Agnus castus is helpful for those experiencing the first type of imbalance – high oestrogen, low progesterone causing the following PMS symptoms:  heavy periods, short cycles, angry/irritable mood, sore breasts, premenstrual fluid retention and sometimes a tendency towards fibroids and endometriosis. In this situation of imbalance, Agnus castus levels out the hormones, upping the progesterone whilst lowering the oestrogen.

 

In order to see results, it’s best to take an Agnus castus tincture* every day of the entire cycle, not just in the week running up to your period and it takes between 1 and 3 cycles for effects to show. Once the menstrual cycle has improved sufficiently there is no longer a need to take Agnus castus.

 

However, bear in mind that Agnus castus should NOT be taken with any kind of hormonal contraceptive (pill, mini-pill, marina coil or implant) or hormonal anti-cancer medication. Hormonal contraception works by purposely unbalancing the hormones, therefore stopping fertilisation and with Agnus castus’ hormone balancing skills it may counteract the contraception!

 

Agnus castus is not only for PMS. It can be used in the early stages of the menopause where some women suffer from heavy frequent periods. In this instance, Agnus castus can lighten the periods, making them that bit more bearable. However, symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, low libido, aches and pains are caused by falling oestrogen levels, therefore, Agnus castus is not suitable and sufferers a should try a product which contains fermented soy isoflavones*

It is crazy how awareness brings multiple choices in our lives the more aware we become the more solutions and options we have. Different choices equal to different options. Different options equal to different outcomes. It is crazy how everything is so connected to how we do anything is how we do everything. The thing with me all my inspiration and empowering blogs comes from my falls but I am aware of that fall I come back and think about it. I reflect. The more I reflect on my actions and choices I can see there is it I want to go and is this the person I want to be? Let's talk about food we eat how conscious and aware of really how it affects if we would be more aware would we make a different choice? Everything starts with small actions as everything is connected mind-body-spirit. So what we put in our bodies affects how our body feels how the body feels affects how our mind thinks and how our mind thinks affects how happy we are. And all we really want is to be happy isn't it true? However if we unaware how can we get there? If we unaware of small actions and outcomes how what else we unaware of?   I got pissed off at work really pissed. And I reflected is this how I want to think and act and react and then I had a choice to put my energy into things that matters to me and stop wasting my valuable time on something isn't that important. Do others have the choice they do just, unfortunately, they just don't know about it. Love and compaction is a choice we can make because of all there is a lack of awareness. There is never just one way out. We are never stuck. We learn every day. Always be concerned with yourself. We are accountable for our own actions others are accountable for theirs. So the conclusion that we simply got nothing to do how others act and what choices they make as all matter what we make and who we want to be. More awareness leads to more compaction in the mids of the storm we can forget but the more we practice love and compaction the stronger we become. Spirituality is about respecting all the energies as in fact we can be them all. No one is really good or bad it just where we want to put our focus and energy which side do we want to choose and feed positivity or negativity choice is ours. And don't forget it is all start small how we do anything is how we do everything.
