You may have heard the term endometriosis in the last few years but do you know what it is? I surely didn't nor the extent of how it can affect women around their periods or most of their cycle! Today I speak to Orla O'Flahery. Orla is an herbalist and natrupath based in Galway and she herself suffers from endometriosis.  We talk about her own story and diagnosis and how she was put on the pill to treat the condition, however it only masks it, so when she came off it at 23 all her symptoms came back. This led her down the path of natural medicine to where she is today, helping numerous women with all kinds of hormonal conditions get back in balance! We also speak about the stigma around periods and how its time for us to be more comfortable with the term, as it is something that so many people have for a good portion of their lives! She also has a lil rant about the pill, and how we need to know what we are signing up for when being perscribed it, but also not saying anyone should go off it! Disclaimer always seek a professionals advice when looking into herbal medicine as there can be other affects with each herb you are taking and Orla is fully trained and gives only personalised tonics to her clients!
