Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hello Chrisitna, I have copied an email the Stuart Fitzsimmonds wrote in 2000 re: vulval pain - I believe you'll find it helps your enquiry. Best regards, Benn Stuart wrote... There are lots of potential causes. Things like allergy, infection etc. Even psychological factors may be important. So main treatment depends on if there is an actual cause identifiable. Lots of times there isn't with vulval pain. If it is just the pain that is the problem then the best herb I have found is Corydalis yanhusuo (available from East-West). There is a vulval pain society: VPS PO Box 514 Slough Berks SL1 2BP. The gynaecologist running this group is Nunns. He can be contacted on d.nunns@.... The good news is that he is interested in and encourages treatment with all alternative therapies. -- Benn Abdy- MCPP Medical Herbalist Windsor & London 0 or 07957 65 88 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Ben Thanks for the reminder. On a different though related topic, I want to know the experience of this list re; phyto-oestrogenic herbs and polycystic ovaries. Science most welcome...anecdote/experience though would be life enhancing!!! Stuart FitzSimons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I lurk, but only at this time of night. All I can say is that I have found Corydalis to be a herb better than Viburnum in the management of gynaecological pain. It also has berberine as an active which makes it well suited to any condition of the lining..internal or external.... of the urino-genital tract of women. give a ring at Kingham (formerly East-West) or anyone that makes Corydalis (nci). the tincture is great as an admixture. It can be used like Vib. prun as/ when needed for menstrual pain. The 50:50 combo of tinctures of Corydalis and Vib. prun is better than any drug ever invented for period pains. Try it, 20 mls in some water, juice whatever masks the taste (fat chance), when required. Pain relief guaranteed within 30 mins or your money back!

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Dear , Yan Hu Suo is a qi and blood moving herb. When Qi and Blood stagnate and stop moving this is when pain occurs. It can be used symptomatically and in the long term, I haven't found any problems in use and it is very effect especially in gynaelogical pain. I usually use 8-10g of powder in a prescription but more can be used if needed 15-20g etc. Probably the best way is by capsules 4-6 at a time if you want to know more please contact me off list as I can supply also.
