Re: Chinese Bitters & progesterone cream?

Well, it's a natural progesterone cream containing black cohosh and wild yam and you apply it topically instead of taking it orally, so it doesn't have to be processed through the liver as directly.

My liver hasn't been processing hormones because there isn't any to process!

I also bought a product from sensiblehealth.com called "Fem-Mate" which contains vitex and a few other herbs that act on the adrenals to promote natural hormone production (crosses fingers) Since my body hasn't produced any hormones on it's own in 2 years (maybe more, I was on the pill for 15 years) I am wondering if an extra 'push' may help.

I will hold off on the Liver Flush though although I haven't done one for about 3 months. I want to give the Chinese herbs a chance to work a bit. I didn't realize that the flushes are hard on the liver (duh). I guess it's like running is hard on the lungs, but you reap the benefits once you rest afterward :) Tweet
