I continue the treatment - I take stone oil (3 grams per day per 600 ml), Agaricus, Vetom 2 (thanks for recommending the powder - it's so delicious). I smear the chest with ointment and apply a copper plate. I continue to receive cyclic therapy: fees depending on the phase, fenugreek. I don't drink marin root yet. Like you said, I took a break. I wanted to clarify when to resume taking marina root? I did 10 irrigation times: kirkazon, red brush and rosemary.

Dear doctor, I passed a mandatory medical examination. Smears for gynecology are attached. The gynecologist said - everything is okay). If you allow, I will repeat in the next irrigation cycle)

Yulechka Evgenievna, I did folliculometry. The uzist doctor said that she does not see polycystosis (for which many thanks to you and low bow).

Yulechka Evgenievna, I am enclosing the main results of the tests. The doctors said everything was fine.

With great gratitude, gratitude and love, your Ksyusha))))

I prepared a collection of herbs according to the recipe, but it is impossible to drink, the broth turned out to be very bitter twice, it is even hard to take it in your mouth. Can it be diluted with water?

Maybe I rubbed the grass too much, because I passed everything through a coffee grinder (brittle turned out close to the powder).

If this collection is meant, kirkazon gives a bitter taste.

Now change the brewing method:

After the mixture is finished, put only 1 tsp into the mixture. kirkazon.

GOOD LUCK and keep in touch!

Yulia Evgenievna.

I forgot to write to you that I was taking hormones at the time of writing the letter, that is, in principle, it was a long time ago and I should have retaken it, but I would like you to say something based on the results. This problem still bothers me when I took hormonal pills (5 months instead of 6), at first there was nothing, but then it affected my legs, the veins became more visible, a new mesh appeared. Passed tests during the reception and after a while.

The blood is not thick, although I used to think that this was the reason. Previously, the legs were absolutely clean, without vascular networks, apparently, by growing up, they began to appear, perhaps at the age of 17, all my life, the legs are no, no, but they are covered with marbling, like the hands. Parents don't have anything like that, including grandparents. The mesh, like the veins, remained calm for a long time and new ones did not appear, but hormonal pills started this process and I don’t know what is the reason. Fragility, from what? For example, veins and a small mesh are visible under the knee, from the fact that I often bend my legs, once often the side of the leg rested against the stool on which I laid my legs, a mesh also formed there. Just below the priests, on the back of the legs, veins also appeared, apparently from chairs, stools, etc.

On the left arm in the fold, from where blood is taken from a vein, there is also a vascular network, the second is clean. I don’t understand where this process comes from, where such fragility comes from. Hormones can influence? Feet and hands are often cold. Maybe something endocrine? As for marbling, is it treatable? Because when the legs are warm, it disappears, although it can appear on the beach in the summer in the heat.

One woman with marbling said it was a bacterium in her body and could never be cured. What do you think? As for sports, I’m also interested, I do exercises, I know that it’s useful to load my legs, but won’t they get out of it even more

grids? Recently I bought a brush for dry massage. I don’t know if it’s harmful, it warms up well, but it won’t hurt later or not, I have doubts. I understand that you most likely will not be able to say for sure, but perhaps based on the experience of others

women who could apply, in which direction does the scale tilt more? Will the brush have a negative effect or not?

Attached are the analysis files.

You asked to evaluate your tests:

You have very little estradiol, and progesterone is elevated. This indicates a disturbed balance of estradiol-progesterone. But I cannot give recommendations, without the exact date of the day of the cycle on which you donated blood.

Otherwise, judging by the description, you have varicose veins. So far, everything is in order with the rheology of the blood. But the deep veins of the legs and thighs lose their ability to pump blood and need to be strengthened. The venous network is the superficial capillaries of the skin connected with deep vessels and included in the common venous network. According to them, the state of deep veins, invisible to the naked eye, is determined.

You should immediately contact a phlebologist, undergo a deep vein ultrasound and start therapy.

Exercises must be done, they strengthen the calf muscles. And the muscles compress the veins - and then the blood circulation improves dramatically.

Dry massage - do without strong pressure.

Of the herbs, most likely, you will need kirkazon and Japanese Sophora fruits.

And tell the "marble" woman that these are only manifestations of vegetovascular dystonia and can be easily eliminated.

See you, Alena!

Forgive me, it was probably my fault that there was an oversight and inaccuracy in my mailing address, and I was not able to receive your answer in my mailbox. Therefore, I'm sorry, I'm writing again here, in the "Questions and Answers" section.

I made a tincture of kirkazon. I am finishing taking the first two-month course of drugs advised by you. Probably it is necessary to recall briefly my problem.

Thank you very much for your responsiveness and attention to the visitors of your site.

Why did I choose these herbs for you? Because endometrial hyperplasia depends on the state of the liver, hormones and the state of antitumor immunity. Herbs are predominantly masculine, antitumor and improve local lymphatic circulation.

A liana-like plant with large bright leaves and fast growth is often used for landscaping garden plots, arbors, and arches.

Kirkazon large-leaved or tubular

Care

• Liana requires periodic watering, the soil should not dry out, it is advisable to spray the foliage on dry days.
• Fertilize twice a season with a solution of mullein in a ratio of 1:10.
• The earth is loosened shallowly, since the root system of aristolochia is superficial.
• Weeding weeds as extraneous grass grows.
• The root system is sprinkled with fallen, half-rotted leaves, which save the soil from drying out and fertilize the soil in the process of overheating.
• So that the dried shoots and leaves do not spoil the appearance, they are cut off.

Pest and disease control

In most cases, aristolochia are extremely rarely exposed to pests and are resistant to diseases. However, when next to sick, infected plants, they can be harmed aphids and spider mites.

When the leaves are affected by a spider mite, a decoction is prepared from creeping mustard. 100 - 120 grams of chopped dry grass are taken per 1 liter of water, boiled over low heat for 20 - 30 minutes, then removed from the fire, wrapped and infused for 15 - 25 minutes. Filter, the resulting liquid is diluted by half with water. The affected leaves are carefully sprayed.

Cultivation and reproduction

Kirkazon grass is propagated by seeds, cuttings, root layers.

Cuttings are prepared in spring or autumn: cut annual shoots 20 cm long with several buds. Sand is added to the soil fertilized with humus. The cuttings are inserted into the ground at an angle, leaving a few buds above the surface, watered and fertilized abundantly. Then cover with a transparent cap, which, after the appearance of the first leaves, is removed.

Growing layering- a simpler and more efficient method. The shoot of the creeper is laid and pressed to the ground, after a season the shoot takes root, it is cut off from an adult plant, transplanted to a permanent place of germination. The method of propagation and cultivation by layering is the fastest and most popular among gardeners.

Planting kirkazon aristolochia

Depending on the resistance to cold, the vine is planted in open ground in spring or autumn. Frost-resistant species, in the form of two or three-year-old seedlings, are planted in the fall, non-frost-resistant species in the spring. Due to the wide root system, to ensure good development, plants are planted at a distance of at least 1 m from each other.

For planting, a hole is prepared up to half a meter in depth and width. 10 - 20 cm of drainage (expanded clay, crushed stone, gravel, broken brick) are laid at the bottom, 5 - 10 cm of sand are sprinkled on top, and organic fertilizers are applied. Humus, sand and clay are added to the soil. A support is installed in the pit, no more than 8 m in length, along which, counterclockwise, the plant will climb. The root system is cut off by one third before planting, the root neck of the seedling should be at ground level.

Transplanting from one place to another is possible only in early spring before the leaves grow.

Wintering of Kirkazon Aristolochia

Resistance to low temperatures is manifested only in adult vines aged 2-3 years. Young plants are laid on the ground by the first frosts and sprinkled with dry foliage for 8–10 cm. If after the winter period the tips of the shoots freeze slightly, the plant quickly restores its original appearance.

For an elegant kirkazon, wintering in the garden is detrimental, therefore, to save the plant, it is dug up and transferred to a bright, warm room.

To avoid the annual digging of an ornamental plant from the ground, followed by returning it back to the ground in spring, experienced gardeners advise planting a vine in large boxes, containers that can be brought indoors before the first frost.
