menstrualhutThere have been a lot of posts lately about inducing one's peroid. This has raised a lot of concern for me because of what you are doing to your body. In this day and age there is a lot of impatience and it seems that there are a lot of women that do not want to wait for nature to take its course. But remember that inducing is not the same as regulating. Inducing is forcing the body to do something that it is not ready for.
There is nothing wrong with having your period a few days late.
If you are not having sex, and therefore there is not worry about being pregnant, wait. Something is going on with your body where it is need of a little extra time to work things out. It can be caused by delayed ovulation, stress, sickness, or nutrition differences that you have not taken into account. It happens. I can't think of anything that is always exactly on time. You might think that it is, but is the first day of spring always on the vernal equanox? The calender might say so, but the first day of spring is after the thaw, which can't happen until the weather changes, yadda yadda yadda. There are a lot of things that move your cycles through, and it is okay to let your body do its work naturally.
Bodies like to go at thier own rate.
To change this can cause detrimental issues. Remember that what you take to induce your period is an abortive. An abortive is a toxin. While things like parsley is not seen as a toxin, in great quantities, it can be. And there is a reason why they tell women not to eat it. It can harm the baby! Cause an abortion in the first trimester. Upset the lining of the uterus.
This is not to say that parsley is not a bad thing to eat in small doses. There are culinary and nutritional values. But in small doses.
A lot of people have the misconception that because it is herbal, it is safe. This ideology MUST be trown out of a window, and soon. The most deadly things come from natural substances. Always, ALWAYS, double and triple check any source about what you take into your system because it could make or break you. You wouldn't pick a mushroom up in a forest and eat it strait off, so don't do the same thing with herbal medicines.
Always talk to someone with authority AND experiance when it comes to your health.
I want to point out that a lot of women take birthcontrol, not because they do not wish to become pregnant, but because they are trying to regulate hormone levels. This is FAR healthier then quick fixes because it enables the body to set into a rhythm instead of breaking it. You don't have to go on birthcontrol. There are a lot of herbal remedies that have been used for years by women that have been proven to be healthy, AND it is where pharmesists got the idea for birthcontrol in the first place. The concept did not come from the air, but from the earth.
Mother Nature is neutral. She doesn't care if she hurts or helps. She just is. You decide what to do with her gifts.
So I hope that you all keep this in mind when you read about inducing your menstration, or even taking suplements. We like to look to natural things because over all they are healthier then using man-developed chemicals. Nature acts as its own refiner, so there is less possibility of complications. But medicines are developed using lots of tests, so they know what the outcome is going to be. They test, test, test for complications with people of all medical backgrounds. You can't always say that with herbal remidies because they are just beginning to test them in safe labs, instead of word of mouth. That is why they always say to consult your doctor before starting any new regime.
Your health is the most important thing, so don't do anything that might harm it!

Self diagnosing is very dangerous, and that is what I wanted people to see here. They do not develope these medicines for the heck of it, but for the good of the people. Medicine is not bad. But if you want to go herbal, just be smart, right?
I tell people to be natural in the sense that most people have forgotten to listen to thier body. If you listen, it will tell you want it needs to function correctly. That is what the whole natural movement is about. Not relying on substitutes.
But in medicine, there are a lot of things that are important, like knowing reliabilty, the correct dosage, and complications can occur.

Excellent post.
