birth control/pms/dong qwai

[Guest guest]

I looked up dong qwai in Linda Rector-Page's Healthy Healing, my

herb/supplement bible (and her remedies have never steered me wrong-

does anyone else have this wonderful book?). She makes no mention of

dong qwai, that I could find, but over and over again, 2 cups of

burdock tea each day comes up as a good remedy for all types of

menstrual issues. Also, much mention of Vit C, and Vit E, and evening

primrose oil.

I really can't recommend this book enough. Linda is somewhat local to

the Sacramento area, but has been practicing for many decades and owns

her own herbal supplement company (Crystal Star). She is so well

respected in the 'alternative therapy' arena that she was asked by UCLA

to teach courses. I have cured many an ailment with her remedies-which

include nutritional, bodywork, supplement, superfood therapies, and the

book has sections on children, babies/birthing/etc.She's also very veg-

friendly (I always laugh because one of the therapies mentioned for

almost any ailment is 'a low fat vegetarian diet low in dairy'). I'm on

my 2nd edition, having used this book for close to 20 years- but the

new editions have a TON more info than even mine does. That's my rant

for today- I'll stop here!
