Adding Stinging Nettle Tea for this cycle just to see how I react to it. I read it supposedly raises E and T somewhere on here, but I am not sure if it will actually help or harm my hormones directly. I am interested in it bc SP and Spearmint never helped and I used them religiously with no good results
I also read alot of stuff that says SN is good for endo on blogs and various sites, didnt see anything about it directly affecting hormones though except here. It is rich in iron as well, oh and protein.
Anyway, I bought it on a whim and had a cup last night. I felt some stuff going on down there and then this alot of swelling went down
I get bad swelling on my right side sometimes, very uncomfortable. The only other thing that brings it down my inflammation that quick is turmeric, so I was very very very pleased and surprised. Its also supposed to be an astringent, very good for endo. So, I am taking a chance and trying Stinging Nettle Tea and see how I react to it. I am not too worried about it raising estrogen or whatever, I doubt it can raise it high enough to the point of aggravating me, but only time will tell. I am also hoping that with the other stuff in my program, it will do more help than harm.
