PN6- prenatal herbal combination

[Guest guest]

It is a Dr formula of six herbs for Prenatal use. The

ingredients are Black Cohosh, Blue Cohosh, Red Raspberry Leaves Blessed

Thistle, Pennyroyal and False Unicorn. Dr. was the only

Herbalist allowed to practice in the Military during WWII. He has long past

away but his grandson keeps his formulas alive and marketed.

His instruction were to take 6 capsules daily from the 34th week of

pregnancy until delivery.

As a midwife and during one of my own pregnancies I used this herb but it

was recommended that one be taken daily, adding one extra each day until I

was taking 12 per day. To continue this until giving birth and then back

down eliminating one each day for 11 days (down to none).

The herbs aid the uterus to tone, the cervix to dilate without any

difficulty, allows the perineum to stretch and then tone back after the

birth, to relieve the placenta easily and completely, to prevent post-partum

depression, to control excessive bleeding. It aids the uterus to contract

often without the noticed of early labor. The birth moves along nicely and

there is a quicker recovery time. Baby slides out without stress to mother

or baby. Little trauma is seen in both; no bleeding in either. Even large

head and shoulders pop out without a stress or strain. The labor is smooth

and fast enough to get the job done, but slow enough to complete the task

without " skid marks " (tearing and bleeding). Contractions are normalized,

productive, efficient and timely.

I was satisfied with how it worked but was still somewhat uneasy about the

high doses of herbal which included the Pennyroyal. Since I work with an

alchemist who produces many herbal spagyrics that are safe, effective,

needing only a 2 to 3 drops of the tincture form in comparison to 15 ot 30

drops per dose of other tinctures or several capsules of 475 mg of dry

herbs, I asked him to manufacture this product into a spagyric herbal

formulation.

What I found was that my patients who were using a homeopathic remedy for so

me other problem such as edema, pre-eclampsia, UTI, gestational diabetes,

bleeding (threatened miscarriage) and such could use this formula in

somewhat the same manner. I suggested one drop daily from the 34th week of

gestation adding one drop until there were 12 drops taken daily until birth.

Then doing the same as the dry capsules, subtracting one drop each day until

on day 12 of the baby age the mother was no longer using any of the formula.

This method has worked fabulously for several of my clients. Even those who

have had problems in the past are responding well to this formula.

If anyone is interested in it you can purchase it directly for $12 per ounce

retail at ancientfutures@... . Ancient Futures is a company

solely owned by a wonderful Ph.D. in environmental chemistry who is

interested in aiding folks to be healthy. He is willing to sell the product

to practitioners and healthfood stores for $8 per bottle if purchasing

orders of $250 or more. He has several other herbal spagyrics that may

interest many of you who are savvy to herbs. May I suggest that you contact

him for a list of those herbs. He is very interesting and willing to work

with you if you wish large orders of various herbals.

Spagyrics are very wonderful if you wish to take herbs. The process

extracts the tinted material (color of the herbal) at a room temperature,

therefore, maintaining the enzyme quality of the herb. The body of the herb

that was tinted is removed and dried out at room temperature also. Then

this dried material is slowly burned in a Muffle Furnace were it is brought

down to a fine white powder of the minerals. These minerals are then

reintroduced into the tincture. The soluble salts (minerals and

salts/vitamins that can be dissolved in the liquid) are mixed into this

tincture over a period of time. The non-soluble material that seems like a

mud that is called the " caput mortum " is strained out. What is left is the

vitamins and minerals in the tinted liquid that is about 45% grain alcohol

and 55% distilled water. These spagyrics are the most efficient manner to

take vitamins and minerals that address the body on the cellular level that

it understands completely. There is very little or no waste of this herbal

to the system. Very little (if no) side effects at all.

The reason that this makes the herbal better is because many herbals are

only effective when eaten raw. Often the process of making it into a tea

(were the body of the herbal is heated and then discarded) or if taken in

dry form that has no life left in it, there is a need of the uses of large

quantities of water to break it down in order to allow the acceptance of the

medicinal material into the cellular walls or the organs. This " spagyric "

form of the herbal makes all of these processes available with great

effectiveness, and the great difference is that only a few drops (2 to 5)

are equal to 15 ot 30 drops of any other normally tinted herbal or 3 to 8

capsules of the dried material.

To get to the question of what to do a 40 weeks to get those contractions

going you will need a homeopathic remedy. May I suggest Caulophyllum 6c or

30c in distilled water succussed (shaken vigorously) between drops or sips

as the dose. I suggest that you do this remedy every 20 to 30 minutes all

day. If this remedy is going to work it will start the contractions up

within a few hours.

Hope I have been helpful.

If anyone has any other questions, please feel free to ask.
