13 Year Olds Fluctuating Menstruation Hormones
I have been using a wild yam and progesterone cream for PMS for over 10 years, works like a charm. My 13 year old daughter is now having menstrual problems. She began menstruating about 8 months ago and there seems to be no regularity whatsoever. I am considering having her start using the wild yam cream. I understand that at her age her hormones are going to fluctaute. I would much rather try some natural remedies instead of putting her on "the pill", which is probably what a Dr. would recommend. Thank you so much for any feedback. Peace.

To regulate periods my family uses sage tea with success. Starting with two cups of tea a day (morning and evening) and as things get better, we taper off to one cup then none.
Also, it seems, from earthclinic that blackstrap molasses helps too. We make a "coffee" out of it: a tablespoon of blackstrap, hot water to melt it, then top up with (soy) milk.

Lynn, I have read that there's no better remedy for menstruation probs. than Evening Primrose Oil (2 spoons daily for her). Add 400 iu Vit-E daily (mixed natural ) to protect the EPO. The amino acid Methionine is known to help rid the body of excess estrogen AND promote detoxification. Be sure to take a b complex and additional B-12 for proper methylation. Some Milk Thistle Seed or Artichoke Leaves (available in caps form) would also help as constipated liver is a common prob w/ many disorders. Increasing fibre in diet is also recommended so as to remove unwanted fats from the body.
Do try any or all of these measures FIRST, before considering yam.
