Aloha 'To Whom It May Concern:'
Please advise me to my current problem...
First let me start off by saying THANKS for your website. I am learning so much!
Second, I have major anxiety related problems & need some advice. My number one anxiety (shortness of breath, raised temperature, gastrointestinal problems, etc) cause is pregnancy. BUT, because of experience I refuse Western birth control. Can you please recommend a thorough plan with herbal birth control? I would like to have an 'after sex' herb/concoction, a before menstrual, whatever else daily/weekly will help. Please advise me.
Much appreciated in advance.
Hello,
Susun offers some advice on herbal birth control here: http://www.susunweed.com/Article_Herbal_Birth_Control.htm
Another site we recommend with good info is here: http://sisterzeus.com/herbalcontraception.html
Of course, you must remember that no birth control is 100% effective, including the Pill, condoms, etc. If I were you, no matter what method you use, you need to address your fear. Drink nourishing herbal infusions on a daily basis, especially Oatstraw which helps with anxiety and nettles to support your adrenals. You may want to look into some of Bach's flower remedies as well - many to choose from, depending on how your anxiety is affecting you. Motherwort and skullcap tinctures are also beneficial in calming our minds and bodies. Meditate on your feelings, eat well, sleep well, take care of yourself first and foremost. Fear takes up a tremendous amount of energy - try to find ways to transform your fear into action. I would also check out these articles:
