1. Yarrow, is great for boundaries, helps heal wounds, and when you meditate with yarrow she will help you seal your boundaries from any sexual trauma or violence. When I worked with Yarrow for the first time, I meditated with her for 40 days. One day I took a Shamanic bath, and I poured yarrow water all over my body and I was intuitively guided to seal all my chakras. From then on, I no longer would see my sexual predator in my mind as he was in past during my sexual experiences. This was powerful!

2. Ocotillo is amazing for releasing trauma and shame out of the lower body, womb, hips and sexual organs. When I meditated with her as well, I felt the powerful release of sexual shame and trauma.

3. Rose, we need a nervine to help us heal sexual trauma. I like using rose because she helps with boundaries, she is a nervine, and she helps with healing my heart during this transformative time!

Our sexual energy is also connected to our power. So when we are violated, in a sense, they can take our power away. But we CAN heal from this! I know if I can, you can too.

If 2021 is the year for sexual healing and the time to take back your life, then join me for a 2 part workshop here.

Do you feel like you are in your head all day?

Does being connected to your sexuality bring up shame?

I know how you feel. I have experienced sexual trauma and shame myself. I was sexually violated from a so called martial arts teacher. He would mentally manipulate me into having sexual experiences with him and he would tell me he was the only one who can heal my back injury. With his mental mind fucking, I would give into his seduction and he would get me to do things with him that I didn’t want to.

I finally was able to heal my sexual trauma and abuse powerfully and in different ways after I got engaged.

First off, feeling safe is super important. I also had a loving partner who was able to hold me and make me feel safe. So for you, safety is important and allowing the part of you that doesn’t feel safe, feel secure.

Second, the image of the man would keep coming up when we would make love. I tried different things to release him from my mental body. When I finally went to study herbal medicine, I worked with a plant spirit medicine woman who had me work with yarrow the herb. On a spiritual level, yarrow was able to protect my mental body so I wouldn’t think of this man anymore. Yarrow is a great herb to use for sexual trauma.

Third, love yourself through the process. Healing your sexual trauma takes time, but when you do, you take back your life!

Here’s what makes a cycle healthy:

You have at least 3 days of good healthy bleeding. You can see darker blood and bright red blood. The bright red is the estrogen phase (Follicular Stimulating Hormone) of the cycle. The dark blood is the progesterone (Luteinizing Hormone) part of the cycle.

A regular cycle may also mean you have little PMS. You don’t get tired or moody before your cycle. Also during the first couple of days, you don’t get cramps. Your period is consistent. If you don’t have a 28 day cycle, you get your period every 23 days to 32 days, and it’s consistent. Plus, you during ovulation you have wet stringy cervical fluid coming from you vagina to show healthy ovulation.

If your period is longer than 32 days, then you may not be producing enough estrogen. Your estrogen part of the cycle (FSH) is too long and the estrogen isn’t able to kick in. Herbs like Vitex are important to take to regulate the pituitary gland that helps to release the hormones into the body. I would also suggest Black Cohosh, an estrogenic herb to help regulate the long cycle.

If your period is too short, then progesterone isn’t being produced and I would also look at if there is any liver stagnation. I would also recommend Vitex which helps to regulate progesterone in the body along with dandelion as a liver herb.

In addition, if I am looking to help with your cycle to get pregnant, I would look at your diet. Are you eating too many cold foods? The womb doesn’t like the energy of cold when you looking to conceive.

Do you have lots of stress? A baby is more likely to conceive if you are in parasympathetic nervous system – the system of rest and digest.

I would also look at your self care rituals to help you come into balance and if you have an unhealed sexual shame or trauma being held in the womb.

This may seem like a lot to think about, but I am here to help you. I am trained as a Clinical Herbalist and used to see clients supervised under a Master Herbalist/Director at Berkeley Herbal Center. I have over 1000 hours in the class room, over 3,000 hours of study including my study of herbs, plus I am incorporate Feminine Tantra focusing on the women’s womb and sexuality. I have my own private clients who I help on a weekly basis.

If you have any questions about getting pregnant or you want to regulate your menstrual cycle, contact me at https://antoinetteyarrow.com/contact/. I look have sessions via zoom or in possibly in person if you live in Boulder County. I look forward to meeting you!

Has your sexual trauma affected your nervous system?

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is amazing ally! On a spirit level, she is fierce, helps bring confidence and helps set boundaries. Other benefits of yarrow is, she helps stop bleeding. If you have a fever, you can take it to help cool the fever down by allowing you to sweat it out. If you aren’t getting your period or have cramps she is awesome as well. If you diarrhea, the astringent qualities will help you tighten the intestines as to stop the diarrhea.

Back in my early 20s, I was sexually violated by a so called teacher of mine. He basically fucked with my mind  and used that to sexually violate me (he taught me martial arts and told me he was the only one who can heal my back injury). Back then I naive and gave my power away to him. I did a lot of work with a healing guide to help release the emotional trauma that I experienced from the three years of mind manipulation. The healing was great but he would still show up in my mental body.  When I would make love the image of him would come in my mind, I would end up crying and it would affect me from experiencing deep love making.

When I first started training as an herbalist, I worked with Yarrow very intimately and closely. I meditated with her, made offerings and built a relationship with her. I had no idea that plants also had a spirit. While I would meditate, I would listen to the messages that Yarrow wanted me to hear. I will act on it too. While taking a bath with Yarrow leaves and flowers, I had direct messages to release my sexual violator from sexual, physical, emotional, mental and physic bodies. The most important one was releasing him from my mental body. I washed him image away in the yarrow bath waters. After the shower, I sealed myself with yarrow oil.

The follow week when making love to my husband, the image of the man disappeared. I was able to have deeper connection with my partner and our love making was so beautiful. Wow! Yes, he no longer was taking hold of my mind and my psychic body. This was profound!! I couldn’t believe a plant would be able to work in this way. This was why I was on my path to learn about herbs and the magic they offer.

So, if you are looking to heal your sexual trauma, I would recommend meditating with her and building a relationship.

Plant meditation:

1. Take tincture or make a tea
2. Close your eyes and ask the spirit of plant to help you
3. Open your heart and send plant love
4. Breath and listen to messages that plant want to give you
5. Write down in a journal

I hope Yarrow can help you on your path to healing!

Much love,

Antoinette Yarrow

P.S. Because I had such profound experience with Yarrow, I asked Yarrow if you I can use her name. She said yes. Thus my herbal name is Antoinette Yarrow.

Are you lacking libido in your sex life?

Do you need additional menopausal support?

She helps juice up your fertility by making you juicy, she energy is circular, she also guides you to help open up your hips and pelvis and even helps you produce milk. Plus if you are menopausal she will support you with hot flashes, vaginal dryness and libido.

History: Shatavari is highly regarded as an herb for women’s health and it is the most important herb in Ayurvedic medicine to support fertility. The name Shatavari is from an Indian word meaning “a woman who has a hundred husbands.”

Why use her: This herb is amazing especially if you get exhausted, need replenishment and are overworked.

She is also amazing where she will support the release of adhesions in the pelvic areas such as endometriosis, fibroids and other causes of infertility.

She is your ally if you are wanting to juice up your sex life to feel more wet and juicy.
