Good day, Olga!

Let's try to relax and have fun, shall we?

From reliable sources it is known that in the treatment of schizophrenia, the enormous possibilities of Aromatherapy are used. Unfortunately, only French psychiatrists do this professionally. Her direct action on the limbic structures of the subcortex responsible for emotions and mood are no longer discussed. It has been proven to be in the genes. My first advice to you, Olya, is to go to the site, or the online store "...". You know yourself better than any psychiatrist, so choose your base scent yourself.

1. Bach flowers, for inhalation through the nose.

2. "Sleepy" pillow.

Take a small pillowcase, stuff it with fragrant soothing herbs and put it under your head before going to bed. Choose Herbs whose aroma you like. Suitable Mint, Hyssop, Lavender Ziziphora fragrant, white and yellow sweet clover, Valerian, Oregano, Melissa, Kotovnik, Monarda, Juniper, etc.

In the morning, put the pillowcase in a plastic bag and put it in a dark place. The period of use is at least 3 months. The pillow will last the same.

3. Healing relaxing baths.

1 tbsp mixture pour 300.0 ml of cold drinking water for an hour, then bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat or boiling water bath, covered, 15 minutes. Remove and insist hour. Strain, squeeze, top up to 300.0 ml. Drink 100.0 ml at 17, 20 and 23 hours, before meals. The course is 1.5-2 months.

With wishes deep sleep and good mood! See you!

Hello!

I really appreciate your recommendation! I am 21. Weight 52. Height 163. I have elevated free testosterone. Analyzes: (date 16.12.17 result 4.64 out of 4.10) (date: 17.03.2018 result 5.18 out of 4.10) and 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (date: 14.11.17 result 0.92 out of 0.8) Doctors prescribe ok Dimia or jess. I'm very afraid to take them. I decided to look for folk remedies (all sorts of decoctions from Mint, Licorice, dwarf palm, Flax seeds), but again, taking all this "just as" is a risk. So I stumbled upon your site. Menstruation goes in principle regularly, on average + -28 days, it started at the age of 12, sometimes painful, but tolerable. Everything was fine until 17. Then I was very nervous for 50 days there was no menstruation. I drank mastodinone, everything was fine. (Ultrasound of the mammary glands is normal). And last summer it failed again (40 days), but it is completely incomprehensible why. I donated a lot of hormones, did an ultrasound of the small pelvis, everything is fine, except for the 2 hormones indicated at the very beginning. Also, for half a year, painful periods started again, but you can endure it, sometimes it saves NO-shpa.

On myself, I feel a little increase in testosterone (more hair falls out on the head, grows more on the body / face, but not critical), although there has always been a hereditary predisposition to this

The other day, a doctor prescribed such a collection of herbs for ovarian dysfunction, but I’m not sure that this will help to cope with testosterone , sorrel)

Just in case, I’ll tell you that sometimes I have digestive problems: sometimes after eating I pricked the area near the navel on the left side and frequent loose stools. The doctor decided that it was pancreatitis, prescribed Creon tablets, which made me even worse, in my opinion, the doctor said to quit them and just keep the diet.

Dear Sasha!

You are now retelling in your own words what you heard from different doctors. But I need a DIAGNOSIS. Two slightly elevated androgens still do not say anything.

And they can be easily reduced by systematically taking Peppermint tea for 1.5 months:

1. Mint drink

But again, at what pressure do you feel good, and at what pressure do you feel bad.

Gathering good herbs will not necessarily give good effects. Will it reduce androgens, perhaps - there are many soothing herbs in the collection. But the pain during menstruation - will reduce. Drink!

I advise you to definitely look at cortisol, progesterone and estradiol; and start doing contrast showers in the morning, and move around as much as possible during the day.

GOOD LUCK Sasha. write!

Seizures are rare after the operation, but they continue, although the doctors said that the seizures should go away. I take Depakine Chrono500 1000 mg per day. I do an MRI every 6 months.

How realistic is it to remove such consequences of the operation? Thanks in advance and looking forward to your advice.

Hello dear Julia!

I would be happy to offer you an alternative. no more meningioma, the consequences remained operating injury. And you need to get rid of them, trying to get away from anticonvulsants. Gradually, slowly, but steadily.

I ask you not to lose hope, not to be disappointed immediately, but to patiently establish a new relationship with herbs:

Pour 1 tablespoon with the top of chopped Shiksha grass into 500.0 ml of water in an enameled mug, bring to a boil and simmer for exactly 7 minutes over low heat. Remove, cool. Do not remove the grass from the broth, store the broth in the refrigerator. It is convenient to pour a volume of about 150.0 ml in the morning, drink 2-3 sips at least 5-7 times a day. Repeat daily until the decoction is finished. Then again pour the same raw material with 500.0 ml of water and cook in the same way. Cook the broth in this way until it becomes pale (2-3 times), and only then use new raw materials. Course - 4 months without a break.

2.1. Lifestyle and nutrition.

Limit salt in food, the total amount of liquid you drink; If you like coffee, drink only natural. Try to become a vegetarian and spend it once or twice a week fasting days on apples. The goal is to lower intracranial pressure.

Avoid any negativity, listen to classical music and admire the beauty of the world around us.

01/25/18 Oksana

Hello! I'm 45 years old. A year ago, I was preparing for another IVF. The endometrium did not grow, I was prescribed a large number of estrogen.

Against the background of preparation, I began to experience hypertensive crises or panic attacks. I stopped taking hormones. Hot flashes immediately began, on ultrasound all signs of menopause. I've been trying to get out of this state for a year. I do yoga every day, dousing, herbs, healthy eating, I don’t drink, I don’t smoke. I want my period back.

Doctors' diagnosis - chronic endometritis, adnexitis, early ovarian exhaustion. There were no births. I accept Inoklim, but it is useless. I drink a month Borovoy uterus, it has a calming effect on me and reduces pressure. I take amlodipine 2.5mg daily to control my blood pressure. In the past, I am hypotensive and want to stop taking blood pressure pills. But I'm afraid.

I feel dryness all over my body, sand in my eyes. I wanted to take the Red brush together with the Borovoy uterus, but I need a consultation for my case. Thank you!

Hello!

You still feel estrogen deficiency. Soy isoflavones are safer than other phytoestrogens, but less effective. I don't know your previous hormones, but the estrogen deficiency increased after hyperstimulation before IVF. Therefore, the ovarian reserve should be tried to restore. After the normalization of pressure, which I expect after taking the collection, you can connect another dietary supplement - Gemafemin. But I suggest this scheme, choose:

Pour 1 tablespoon with the top of chopped Shiksha grass into 500.0 ml of water in an enameled mug, bring to a boil and simmer for exactly 7 minutes over low heat. Remove, cool. Do not remove the grass from the broth, store the broth in the refrigerator. It is convenient to pour a volume of about 150.0 ml in the morning, drink 3-4 sips at least 5 times a day. Repeat daily until the decoction is finished. Then again pour the same raw material with 500.0 ml of water and cook in the same way. Cook the broth in this way until it becomes pale (2-3 times), and only then use new raw materials. Course - 4 months without a break.

2. Time factor. Drink strictly according to the instructions.

3. Collection of herbs. Drink at the same time, but with an interval of an hour from the Time Factor.

Grind grass and fruits evenly up to 2-3 mm, roots up to 3-5 mm. First, mechanically to small pieces, then on a coffee grinder. Stir evenly. Herbs without a dose should be taken in tablespoons.

Note. You can bring to a boil and after 3-4 minutes pour into a thermos for the whole night.

Complaints about constant pain during the eruption of molars. This state can be distracted by watching cartoons or reading books. He sleeps badly at night, turns around in his sleep, says something unintelligible. He hasn't slept during the day since he was two years old. Impatient, mood swings, feels "hitting" pain in teeth when teething. With intense pain, the pupils dilate, the lips turn red. even the most insignificant remarks can cause aggression, discontent and resentment. It's hard to concentrate on anything. At school, he gets very tired, his handwriting has deteriorated. With classmates, he is friendly, behaves calmly.

Survey results:

MRI at 5 years (2014): "Moderate expansion of the subarachnoid spaces in the region of the anterior pole of the left temporal lobe up to 0.6 cm. Angular tortuosity of both ICAs. Data for volumetric and focal pathology of the brain were not revealed.

MRI (2015): " Pathological changes in the brain, MRI signs of changes in blood flow in the arteries of the brain were not detected.

MRI (2016): “No focal processes and mass lesions of the brain were detected. Indirect MRI signs of obstruction of venous outflow. Asymmetry in the diameter of the vertebral arteries.

Ultrasound duplex scanning of the vessels of the neck (2014): "Moderate tortuosity of the course of both internal carotid arteries, with a moderate acceleration of blood flow D=S".

Transcranial duplex scanning of the vessels of the base of the brain (2014): "Moderately pronounced signs of obstructed venous outflow from the cranial cavity D=S".

EEG (2014): “Wakefulness. Against a background with minor diffuse changes, single discharges of sharp waves are recorded in the left temporal leads. With hyperventilation, complexes are found that indicate dysfunction of the midline structures of the brain.

EEG (2016): “In the background recording, minor diffuse changes in the BEA of an irritative nature are recorded without clear focal changes, signs of dysfunction of the diencephalic stem structures appear. The activation reaction when opening the eyes is weakly expressed. During hyperventilation, there is an increase in synchronization of cortical rhythms and paroxysmal activity is recorded in the form of single flashes of bilaterally synchronous high-amplitude sharp waves with an emphasis in the left fronto-central areas. During rhythmic photostimulation of the EEG, the pattern did not change significantly. No specific EEG phenomena were detected at the time of the study.

EEG (2017): “In the background, a disorganized BEAHM is recorded with dominance in the EEG pattern of a regular alpha rhythm, without modulation, a stable frequency (9.5 counts / s.), High amplitude (up to 90 μV.), High energy density with pronounced zonal differences without interhemispheric asymmetry of the amplitude of the spectral power (D=S). The shape of the alpha waves is pointed. The peak frequency of the dominant power spectrum of the alpha rhythm corresponds to the age norm (9.5 Hz.). With a functional load with hyperventilation (already for 1 minute), a transient focus of dominant epileptiform and specific epi-activity appears in the fronto-posterior frontal (with an emphasis on the left) fields of the cerebral cortex, in the form of flashes of epileptiform, bilaterally synchronous and lateralized waves with a frequency of 4- 5 counts per second, as well as discharges of single lateralized epi-complexes "acute wave-slow wave" and "spike-wave", with a maximum amplitude of up to 200-250 μV in the fronto-posterior frontal and anterior temporal (left) fields of the cerebral cortex, s phenomena of generalization and involvement of structures of the limbic system of the brain. With hyperventilation, signs of a decrease in the threshold of convulsive readiness of the brain are determined. Discharges of absences were not revealed.

Dentists do not find pathologies.

For all time put different diagnoses. Atypical facial pain. Atypical bilateral drug-resistant prosopalgia. neurotic state. Paroxysmal behavior disorder? Progressive state? Odontogenic pharmaco-resistant prosopalgia. Syndrome of myofascial dysfunctions of the cervical-shoulder location.

He took at different times: Glycine, Adaptol, Tenoten, Noofen, Sanopax, Carbomazepine, Gabapentin, Finlensin (600), Valprocom (500). No effect.

What is hyssop, medicinal properties and contraindications, what are beneficial features this plant, all this is of great interest to those who lead healthy lifestyle life, monitors his health, and is interested in folk methods treatment, including with the help of medicinal herbs and spices. So we will try to answer these questions in the following article.

Hyssop officinalis (lat. Hyssópus officinalis) is a species of shrubs of the genus Hyssop (Hyssopus) of the Lamiaceae family, growing in Eurasia and Africa.

This is a perennial shrub with a stem 30–50 cm high, strongly branched at the base, with lanceolate small leathery leaves and oblong spike-shaped, rather large inflorescences. Blooms in July - September. Excellent honey plant. Plants are undemanding, frost- and drought-resistant, photophilous, winter well.

Hyssop propagates by seeds and vegetatively.

Grow hyssop in well-lit areas in a perennial culture. Requires deep ploughing, application of 3 kg / m² of humus and phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. In the spring, nitrogen fertilizers are applied, the site is harrowed, loosened, and the surface is compacted. Seeds are mixed with 1:1 granulated superphosphate and sown in April with row spacing of 20–30 cm to a depth of 1–2 cm. The seeding rate is 10 g/m². Shoots appear in 8-15 days. The area is loosened twice across the rows and the plants are thinned out at a distance of 10 cm from each other. Plant care in the first year includes 2-3 waterings with a rate of 7 l / m², loosening of row spacing, weeding. In autumn, top dressing is carried out with humus (2 kg / m²), followed by deep loosening of row spacing, leaving a minimum protective zone.

In subsequent years, plant care begins with harrowing in early spring, top dressing with nitrogen fertilizers, later they perform the same operations as in the first year.

Collect shoots for the second year in June - August. During the season, plants can be mowed 3-5 times, cutting them at a height of 10-12 cm from the root. After each collection, fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers is carried out, followed by watering and loosening of row spacings. Plants grow back in 20-30 days. The shoot yield is 15–20 kg/m².

Hyssop is also grown from seedlings, which are obtained in seedling greenhouses without heating. Seedlings are planted at the age of 25–30 days, when the plants form 5–8 leaves in the same way as in a seedless culture.

You can also repot plants from old plantations by applying a bush division in the spring. From each mother plant, 15–20 cuttings are obtained, they are planted somewhat deeper than they grew. With this method, hyssop production arrives already in the first year of cultivation - by the end of summer. Hyssop is also suitable for growing indoors or on a balcony in a pot.

Hyssop is harvested in the full flowering phase, starting from the second year. With later harvesting, the content of essential oil is reduced. good harvest obtained within 5-6 years, then it decreases. In season, with good care, 2-3 cuttings of young shoots can be carried out, for raw consumption - as needed.

For harvesting for future use, the raw materials are dried in the shade, in the attic, spread out in a thin layer, or hung in small bunches. Immediately after drying, they are placed in hermetically sealed jars, otherwise the hyssop quickly loses its color and aroma. It is enough to have 2-3 bushes for seeds.

Seeds are collected from plants of the second year in August, when the tops of the shoots begin to turn brown, carefully cutting and hanging over paper, as the seeds crumble easily. After ripening and drying the shoots, the seeds are threshed. They remain viable for 3-4 years.
