Description

Menstrual pain, pelvic pain, and ovarian pain are common female complaints and ones that often respond readily to herbal therapies. To best treat the underlying conditions contributing to uterine pain, this presentation will also discuss the causes of hyperestrogenism and how it can be remedied with natural therapies. Because uterine and ovarian pain is often accompanied by PMS and bleeding irregularities, herbs that are specifically indicted for menorrhgia, menopausal complaints and other specific presentation will be woven into our pain management discussions. Based on folkloric materia medica, specific indications of herbal medicines, and Dr. Stansbury’s 30 years of clinical experience, this clinical presentation will offer effective formulas and treatment approaches to these common presenting complaints.
