Many herbalists are in arms over this one, but in my heart, I feel that too much black cohosh is probably not a good thing.

Soy phytoestrogens may not be either.

Thus far I am stickin to Mom's wort...lol and hoping my skin does not shrivel like fired chicken in the next 20 years adn that my vagina will still work ok :hahaha:

My yoni balm really helps. I have never bled. Emrita has an aloe gel based personal lubricant as well we use to help the glide more effectively.

Oopes, I was posting about black cohosh now wasn't I...lol

I've been hearing less than positive things about BC for several years in the midwifery circles, something about suppression of the fetal heartbeat. It is definitely one of those herbs that are used only when necessary and only for as long as needed. I don't mind small amounts of it in my general supplements, but don't take it on its own.
