Menopause, I have one word for you:  Meh!  As someone who has opted to end this period naturally, I am faced with challenges monthly.  A different challenge every month, it would seem.  This month, it was excessive bleeding - again!  I thought I had mastered that issue already.  But no, Aunt Flo came home seeing red.  And she lingered for days.

To the internet I went, looking for a "band-aid".  This time, I was seeking an essential oil for menorrhagia.  To my disappointment, the suggested oil, Cyprus, was missing from my home pharmacy.  Then I spotted Geranium.  This was listed as a hemostatic, (stops bleeding).  "Hey!" I thought, "this applies!"   Since that oil was in my collection, it was worth a try.  After rubbing it on the usual spot, the sole of the foot, I also applied it to my belly, going straight to the source of the problem.

It worked like a champ!  The flow dried up for about five hours.  When it started up again, more was applied, belly and sole.  Again, dry as an Arizona riverbed in August.

I also read that cod liver oil would help.  "Stupid me", I thought, "why did I go off that?"  Two tablespoons initially, and one tablespoon daily thereafter was the cure.  Not being the scientific type, but the practical type, I decided to try that, too.  It can't hurt.  And it's sooo healthy.  All I can say is, it's working, and I'll not turn back.

Isn't an oil or two much better than a hysterectomy?

Homeopathy Cures Dog of Blood in Urine

Homeopathy is a wonderfully safe, non-toxic medicine that can be used on people and pets.  Why, even the Queen of England has her own homeopathic physician!  My homeopathic doctor, bi-vocationally a local harvest farmer, treats his own pets on the farm-- as well as his human patients in the office, of course.

A couple of weeks ago, our dog, a boxer-rotweiller-mastiff mix, was leaking urine mixed with blood.  I treated him with the homeopathic remedy, Pilocarpis 1M.  In less than 48 hours, he stopped leaking the bloody urine.  Success!

This didn't surprise me much, as we have seen homeopathy work quickly many times- when we have the right remedy.  I personally own 188 remedies, but there are over 700 remedies available from my usual supplier, and many others they don't carry that are uncommonly used.  It's my dream to own them all.

You might be wondering why I chose Pilocarpis, and why at 1M strength.  Muscle testing to the rescue!  My husband held the dog, and I tested him using my husband as a surrogate.  After finding the right remedy, we then discerned which strength to use.  Thankfully, we had that strength for him.

We love homeopathy, and use it as a first level medicine.  Have you considered it for yourself yet?  Here is a really great video on muscle testing you might want to check out for yourself.

News Flash for Hot Flashes

Just a quickie here...

For treatment of those annoying hot flashes, I take two capsules of the herb Vitex, a.k.a. Chasteberry, at night, along with one of those giant Evening Primrose gelcaps.  Since I have been doing this, I never have a hot flash during the day.  Gotta love Peri-Menopause!!  ...or not...

Quick fix for shoulder and neck pain

Today I woke up feeling crummy.  Sluggish and achy, I dragged myself through my day. By late afternoon, my shoulders felt heavy as lead, and needed to be supported on the arm rests as I drove home in pain.  

Finally, I could take it no more, and did the "math".  I was unusually cold yesterday- tired and achy today.  Realizing that it was likely an infectious agent, we pulled out some essential oils.  Through muscle testing, we decided upon Wild Australian Sandalwood and Carrot Root.  Anointing my head with these oils- just once, mind you, and with only 1 or 2 drops- and several hours later, the tiredness and ache is virtually gone!  I am amazed and delighted.  Once again, we find that at the source of pain is an infectious agent.

Just for insurance, I put another drop of each on my head once more before bed.  Love these oils!
