When the female organs are weak and sickly, they become a dumping ground for toxic waste from the rest of the body. Endometriosis, cysts and many other female problems grow out of that toxic load. An herbal bolus works right where the trouble is, feeding and strengthening the female organs and drawing out what has settled there, as part of a full healing program.
Start with the Bowel
The bowel sits right against the female organs. Any constipation held in the bowel presses on them, and the waste seeps into them and pollutes them. A constipated bowel destroys the female system. So before anything else, and all the way through, keep the bowel open and moving well; see Helping Sluggish Bowels Move Again.
What a Good Bolus Formula Contains
A good bolus formula might contain equal parts of these eight herbs, all powdered:
- Squaw Vine. A classic female herb, used to tone and strengthen the uterus.
- Slippery Elm Bark. Its soothing mucilage protects tender tissue and helps hold the bolus together.
- Yellow Dock Root. A blood cleanser, used to help draw out toxins.
- Comfrey Root. Known as “knitbone,” used to support the growth of new cells and tissue.
- Marshmallow Root. Softens and soothes irritated, inflamed tissue.
- Chickweed. Used to help dissolve unwanted growths and deposits.
- Goldenseal Root. Long used to support the mucous membranes and keep tissue clean.
- Mullein. A gentle drawing herb for the glands and lymph.
Making the Bolus
Work the powdered herbs into coconut oil until it reaches a pie-crust consistency: firm enough to hold its shape, soft enough to roll. Roll it into sticks about as thick as your finger and cut them about 1 inch long. Chill them until firm, and keep them in the refrigerator.
Using It
Insert one bolus at bedtime, and wear a sanitary pad, not a tampon. Leave it in through the next day; a little coming out in the morning is normal. In the evening, douche to clean out the area before inserting the next one. A pint of warm water with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice or raw apple cider vinegar works well.
Use it 6 nights a week, resting over the Lord’s day.
Feeding the Female System from the Inside
The bolus works from the outside in. Pair it with the formulas that feed the female system from the inside: Rebuilding a Worn-Down Female System and Food for the Female System.
