Hmm, Ive never used Clarkia . What herbs are in it? Some herbs do subtly affect the hormones., and many companies utilize these herbs in teas to help with Menopause, etc.

Make sure you are doing colon cleanses- you should have at least 2 bowel movements a day- preferrably 3.

Cut back on sodium in foods-- just have a pinch of Sea Salt , and take some Kelp with natural Iodine in it.

Potassium is neccessary for balancing water weight- and if you are potassium deficient, you will get bloating and water weight gain- and 4-5 lbs is about right for water weight gain amounts.

Cut back on packaged foods (including healthfood store packaged foods) and start eating more whole foods-- that you can control the amount of salt you add.

hang in there!
