How much Vitamin C is needed to Induce my period?
Posted by admin on Oct 30, 2009
Ok so, I’ve heard that Vitamin C can induce ones period. I would like to induce it because I’m going on Vaca during the time I’m suppost to have it. So I was told Vitamin C and Parsley tea. So how much Vitamin C do I have to take to help Induce(per day). Aswell I’m wondering how much Parsley tea am I suppost to drink too. Merci!
Parsley tea just keep drinking a few times a day until your period turns up – remember to use fresh herb and don’t boil. Vitamin C will help, but only if you get a product without bioflavinoids that are added to vitamin C to protect against miscarriage, you want a vitamin C product with the ingredient ascorbic acid as this is what you need to be taking. Dosage is 6-12 grams per day, divide this equally to take throughout the day with plenty of water. Don’t take these for more than 10 days, prolonged use can have serious health implications – any side-effects such as diarrhea, headaches, upset stomach, abdominal cramps, hot flashes, and/or rashes stop use straight away.
See http://www.sisterzeus.com – it’s a horrible site to navigate through, but a lot of useful information.
You can only induce if you have at least two weeks of uterus lining build-up, don’t overdose and don’t use parsley if you have any liver problems. If it doesn’t work then it’s no big deal, just use menstrual cups so you don’t have to think about your periods while you’re off enjoying yourself, and there’s plenty to prevent menstrual problems like cramps or PMS if you suffer from them.
Edit: These aren’t urban myth, they are commonly used not only to induce menstruation but also within emergency contraception and herbal abortion. Parsley well known as a mild emmenagogue meaning it relaxes your cervix, and vitamin C starves the uterus of progesterone. You can also combine different progesterone blocking, uterine contracting and oestrogenic herbs to induce your period – but Parsley and vitamin C are the safest and most commonly used methods.
