I have taken higher doses of the PM in the past and noticed I also get very emotional (very much like you described).
I am wondering about your DIY Frenugreek cream,... I also make my own batter with coco butter, shea butter, emu oil (for increased absorption along with the many other skin benefits it has!), & Kigelia. And during Folicular I add PM, But I would also like to try another batch replacing the PM with the FG during Luteal.
What is your concentration?
For example how many drops of Fenugreek do you use per tablespoon, or OZ, (or however you would measure)?
My FG extract is 2000mg per 56 drops (per the bottle) so I'm going to start taking about 7 drops/250mg by mouth but I would also like to use it in my booby butter and would like some kind of a starting guide for the amount to put in a batch.
Hi StomyAngel!
I use a locally-made, organic extract so I don't know the concentration per drop, BUT... here's my method:
Palmer's cocoa butter is a bit strong, and it takes so long to absorb that during massage it ends up forming tiny lumps on my skin, so the first thing I do is water it down until it's more runny like a body milk. Then for every 4 tablespoons I add 100 drops of FG extract. I make small batches but I try to keep the concentration consistent. After a while you'll be able to tell if the concentration is the same because of the color/smell of your batch.
I try to start with the massage moves that create more friction first, and apply the cream after. This, again, to avoid the cream from going lumpy from the massage. Then after the cream is absorbed a bit (5-10 mins) I do low-friction massage like chi rotations and squeezes. Sometimes, after all this, I apply a second layer of cream and leave it on. I do this before bed.
Also, this month I stopped ingesting the extract because I was basically doing all estrogen all month. Now I use it for massage only
Hope this helps!
