Experiences with

Agnus castus

Has anyone tried Agnus Castus for PMS/PMDD? Ive already tried evening primrose oil and it made no difference for me. I’m getting really bad breast pain 2 weeks prior to my periods and I’m also getting bad headaches effecting my eyes.

I am seeing that a combination of supplements such as Black Cohosh, Agnus castus, Ginkgo Biloba perhaps can do wonders and would like to understand how successful others have found them to be too. Thanks in advance

Having heavy n prolonged periods so was researching solutions.

I'm also going to try using it as

Hi, I am on my 8th week at the moment, have had partial circum followed by frenuloplasty. Healing and all is going well and the hypersensitivity of glans is much reduced upto an extent that it won’t pain or discomfort in under garments or a slight tap. But any sort of sudden rubbing by hand or tissue

Hi, I am on my 7th week post partial circum, I would like to share some of my experience just in case anyone here looking to go for Partial Circumcision.

Hi, I have IBS and about a week ago started up with stabbing/twisting pains in my LRQ after mistakenly eating udon (didn't know it was wheat).

I have subclinical hyperthyroidism and a goitre with nodules ,I have been using castor oil topically to shrink my thyroid/nodules and haven't noticed any changes yet,though I have only been using it for a few months a few times a week. Has anyone tried this home remedy to shrink nodules/goitre with success

I’m taking agnus castus for estrogen dominance/low progesterone- I’m sure it will interact with the thyroid function in some way as all hormones are interlinked if you get my jist - but could this be the reason for everything going off kilter recently? 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️ Thanks as always!
