Hi hun, the reason you are experiencing such bad stretch marks is due to the speed of growth, if you grew at a more steady(but still continuous) pace your skin would adjust better and result in less or no stretch marks. Try to infuse your oil with some herbs and EOs(particularly lavender, chamomile and patchouli oils can all help) to help reduce the appearance of the stretch marks, as Castor oil alone has shown not to help that greatly with improving them. Also you may want to change your dong quai to a better quality one that consists of the oil too, as most brands dispose of this and in TCM it is considered a vital component, I'd suggest the brand Imperial Elixir Dong Quai which is an extract(so stronger in one capsule than regular dong quai dosages) and has the oil added back in, either way dong quai is such a wonderful herb and I'm sure you will start to feel the mood benefits of it! Also if I were you I'd save my money and buy those herbs individually as the menopause capsule combinations tend to have really low dosages of each herb, if you buy red clover in a tincture I'm sure you will have even more great growth just make sure it's 1:1 ratio for best potency   also I would suggest a progesterone(USP grade) cream if you are looking for outward growth rather than projection, but do keep in mind it's actually physically impossible most of the time to get rid of tuberous deformity unless the bands are surgically cut as Fertility queen proved and had to do and she had mild tuberous too.
