Helena’s Blog: Amberen Experiment #2

July 27th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Dear Friends:

It has been now about three weeks on Amberen (an herbal menopausal treatment — see www.amberenonline.com/ ) and so much has happened!  And I have to say, although I am always working on myself and my relationship, I do believe that some of my recent breakthroughs have had as much to do with the Amberen as anything else I may be doing.

Where I had been having hot flashes hourly morning, noon and night — even after adjusting my diet excluding sugar, caffeine, wheat and dairy — they now have literally disappeared!  Thank Goddess!

I had been feeling rather dried up from the inside out, like an old papery leaf, ready to blow away, with minimal libido, and a sandpaper yoni.  While I could enjoy oral sex, insertion was painful and there was no pleasure to be found!  I had no desire — me! !!!??? And only wanted to rest.

How did I get this way?  I attribute it all to a progressive journey that began with relationship dynamics, life stressors culminating in adrenal burnout — which intensified my peri-menopauasal symptoms.  While I have ben working on this holisticially, I am amazed at how the Amberen herbal supplement has shifted so much within that i am seeing results not only in mself, but in my partner!  After all, he is a perfect mirror!

I had my first period in seven months one week after beginning Amberen.  Where I felt dried up and dried out, I now feel more full and moist on every level — not just “down there!”  It is as if I have been hydraated and moisturized from the inside out — and this feeling continues after the menstruation which lasted about four days with some spotting.

During that week, my partner also sat me down and shared some relationship revelations that he had on his end that created a major healing between us as well!  And he said that he has been inspired to be more reflective because of the difference he had been feeling in me!  He said that I feel more approachable and receptive to him physically as well as emotionally — and we have been much nicer to each other!  Where his libido had been relatively flat as well — he was deeply affected by my own lack of pleasure in sex and libido, now he was feeling more frisky and horny himself!  Just from me taking the pills!  When you are ONE, I guess the results are reflected in the other quite powerfully!

I am also noticing that where in the recent past, I have felt almost invisible in social settings, people are starting to notice me and respond more.  My charisma seems to be re-surfacing!

One symptom that could still improve is difficulty in getting to sleep and staying asleep — and getting enough sleep.  Now that the hot flashes no longer wake me up hourly, I do not wake up in the night as often, but I am still working on my ability to fall asleep and get a full night’s rest.  Hopefully, I will soon see some changes in this area as well.

While the inner physical is transforming, I am also having all kinds of light bulbs going off inside my awareness about areas where I can take my personal power back or uplevel my game in so many ways!  This, I know is part and parcel of the the process for me and I am so grateful!
How much of this has directly to do with the Amberen, I cannot say, but with all the other personal work I am doing, I can say that it is an essential element for my recovery in this arena.

I will continue to keep you posted weekly on my progress.  Now I am off on a solo journey for a month to finish my book and do some more inner work.  This should be interesting!

    Hi, Helena

    I was just wondering how your results with AMBEREN are going??? It looks like you haven’t posted anything since July so I’m curious. I am looking into taking Amberen….so I am looking for some ‘real life’ experiences that are a little more current. Most things I’m finding on the web are back from 2007 when it was first introduced. Your post is much more current.
    Would you mind updating me on your results and how you feel about Amberen??

    Thanks so much!

    Hi all

    The name’s John, though most people call me ‘Freaky’. :P I’m in my “teens” and kinda lost in the world at the moment…however, I’ve found the hippie “culture” and discovered that it fits me very well…I’m not trying to fit into it, it just kind of fitted onto me.
    I have lots of questions, which hopefully some of the older and wiser people on this board will be able to help answer.
    Here’s to hoping this board will be able to help me discover more of myself and fuel my beliefs.

    thanks, John from Online Payday Today.

    Dear John:

    As you go through your experience, you have a tremendous guidance system built in that lets you know what feels good and what feels bad. If you follow that guidance, you will find your authentic self. I am a bit younger than the hippy culture time myself, but I was just on the edge of it and found it to be very enlightening and romantic — til it wasn’t.

    It was idealistic and drug driven, but there were many ideas and inspirations that stay with me and my heart today that I have not given up. But they have transformed and become more realistic. Check out the book the “Cultural Creatives.” I think you may find that it resonates for you.

    What has remained intact that I think is so valuable from that time, is the movement to follow one’s authentic truth and nature, and to discover what that is. As long as we do so with compassion for self as others, we can’t go wrong.

    Another valuable piece from that time is to work towards a more compassionate, loving society that is based on honoring ourselves and the planet.

    Finally, the last piece is to get more out of the head and into the body to discover the truth of who we are, what we want, and release the fear that we are being programmed to live.

    Live the art of your life!

    I wish you luck on your journey.

    Namaste,

    Helena

  19. Comment by Cheryl on 13 December 2010:

    I can agree on one point only and that is elimination of hot flashes. However, they returned immediately when the product ran out (after using for 90 days). Additionally, when I accidentally missed two days hot flashes returned.

    There was absolutely NO ENHANCEMENT to my libido. None, zilch. What a disappointment. And now I’m on the prowl again for something that will help.
