It’s for this reason that sage is used in various spiritual ceremonies to dispel negativity.

However, it’s important that you consult with your doctor as menstrual irregularities could be symptoms of other underlying factors.
There’s a good reason why our forefathers used traditional medicine. They found out that herbs and spices were not only effective but that they also helped to provide the body with a rich supply of nutrients and vitamins. It’s high time that mankind embraced these practices but under strict guidance from professional alternative medicine practitioners.
