Help w/ lotion and BO

Hi,
I'm weening off of an herbal lotion recipe while I'm doing BO and wanted to know which herbs I can keep and which to avoid.
I have Fenugreek, Fennel, Wild Yam, Saw Palmetto, Black Cohosh, Dong Quai, and Blessed Thistle. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Bovine Ovarian Concentrate should be considered an 'estrogenic' supplement. Although anti-androgens like saw palmetto, and progesterone-blockers like damiana and wild yam can be used along with bovine ovarian concentrate, 'BO' should generally not be used with phytoestrogens like red clover, fenugreek, kudzu or fennel.
Like all estrogenic supplements, 'BO' can interfere with thyroid function. So it is a good idea to monitor body temperatures on a regular basis and to supplement with kelp or tyrosine should your average body temperature drop below 97 degree
I think they're just talking about pills you take tho, so I don't know if making a cream/lotion with estrogenic herbs would be a problem or not?

Thank you so much. I was looking on that website too and couldn't find again where they talked about that. Thanks for showing me where the information is and telling me about the temperature. So, I guess you just check your temperature by using the usual method, with a thermometer?

Yup, I suggest getting one of those electronic thermometers because they're easier to read. However, I'm sure you don't have to check your temp everyday. If you just check it now and then you can probably get a good idea of what your normal temp is at. It's just advised that your temp should be at or above 98.1.
