 Physical examination reveals one or more of the following: tenderness of the pelvic area and/or cul-de-sac (a deep pouch anterior to the rectum, separating the uterus from the large intestine); enlarged or tender ovaries; a uterus that tips backward and lacks mobility; fixed pelvic structures; and adhesions. Endometrial tissue can be found on surgical scar tissue, in the vagina, and on the cervix. Physical examination during the first or second day of menses highlights tender areas in the septum between the rectum and vagina, most likely correlated with deeply infiltrating endometriosis. |

 He would box and wrestle with his son, but never offer a tender touch. This is what our patient would seek out later in life—a little tenderness. He was never aware of it growing up, but his body stored the need until it could express itself in a love relationship with another man. The time distance between a lack of cuddling from his father and his later need for male love was such that putting the two together seem out of the question. When he came to us, he cried and screamed for that love from his father. |

 The best-quality tea uses just the tender young leaves and buds.
Green Teas
Green teas are made from unfermented leaves. Soon after the leaves are collected, they are left to wither, until their moisture is gone. The whole leaves are then steamed and rolled, resulting in grayish green balls. This process allows the herb to retain its enzymes, thus preventing it from oxidizing. Green tea is higher in essential oils than the black variety.

The asparagus actually has two parts—a thick root and the tender stalks. The root is used in traditional Indian medicine as a diuretic and to strengthen the female reproductive system. The asparagus root is also believed to help develop peace of mind, a loving nature, a good memory, and a calm spirit. Chinese traditionalists save the best roots of the plant for their families and friends, believing that it will increase feelings of compassion and love. Meanwhile, in India, it's used to promote fertility, reduce menstrual cramping, and increase milk production in nursing mothers. |
