Bad Moods
Posted by Hisjewel (America, Ny) on 06/26/2015

Being happy is very important to me, so when my mood is off I notice it immediately. Believe it or not I walk around with a bottle of vitamin E in my pocket book for this purpose. I take one or two 400 IU of Vitamin E and it always helps to lift the contrary mood. Try it, you'll be glad you did. I started taking them when I was in perimenopause and I never had to take hormone medicine.
Breast Pain

I had breast pain and tenderness so severe that I couldn't stand my shirt or bra near my breast, I read somewhere to take viamin E. I bought Vitamin E 200 IU and started taking one pill a day and all of my breast soreness went away after the very first pill. I couldnt believe it and there is no way I will go a day without my vit E.

Mark, since Maria hasn't responded, I am guessing she took that much orally.

I have been taking Effexor the past year now and, like many others, discovered how much it lowered my sex drive. I did a little research and came upon Vitamin E supplementation. It definitely helps... so does a lot of strenous exercise!

Vitamin E in the liquid form (and wheat germ oil) is an effective treatment for hemorrhoids. Put the oil on a cotton ball and apply it a few times a day until the pain goes away.
Skin Bruising

Hello Lauren,
Re taking Vitamin E and problem with skin...
Never heard of such an effect...check your label and make sure you're not taking synthetic E... Synthetic is "dl-alpha tocopherol" and natural is "d-alpha tocopherol"... the "l"is missing in the natural.
If you're taking synthetic you should stop and replace with natural. If you've been on synthetic that might account for something weird happening to skin.
Another possibility is that you have a bad brand or one that has gone rancid. Consider changing brands.

Hi, sometimes (i'm thinking with hormone flucuations and whatnot) I have a low libido. It can go for months at a time. I have found that taking vitamin e does a lot for my body. I've even heard it been called an aphrodisiac. If you have a low libido, try it out- I was taking 400 IU capsules 3x a day. Sometimes I'd take just 2 or one.. see what works for you!

I have taken vitamin E for years to reduce hot flashes. Works wonders.

★☆☆☆☆WARNING!
Vitamin E had a reaction with the blood thinner medication which my wife is using.

Did you take the 4000 IU internally or just put it on your face externally?
Hemmorhoids
Posted by Diana (Mesa, Az, Usa) on 04/24/2012
I totally agree with the posts about using Vitamin E oil for bowel fissures or hemmorhoids. I contracted e coli poisoning from a buffet restaurant, so spent many days in the bathroom with severe diarrhea and vomiting. I ended up with an extremely sore and irrritated anal sphincter, so I used some Vitamin E oil in 12,000 I. U. Strength. I just applied it after each trip to the bathroom and after only one application, healing was almost complete. What was is so amazing is this bottle of ____ Vitamin E Oil is about 10 years old and it still is potent enough to bring great relief! I just hadn't thrown it out and wasn't sure if it would still be effective. Just another testament to the amazing healing power of natural oils and supplements (even outdated products).

It has to be the water soluble kind of vitamin e, that's the one that is most effective for me.
Warts
Posted by Anonymous (San Diego, CA) on 10/16/2008
So for the external warts did you just open up one of the vitamin e pills and apply it to the wart and leave it? if you have a certain procedure or anything negative to report about it I would greatly appreciate it. thanks

I am going to try this because my body aches all the time so I buy some Vitamin E capsules.Thanks. Just curious...can you use Vitamin E for dark spots?

I was reading the comments about Vitamin E and I noticed some said they "dropped" it in or took to capsules -- does that mean ingested them; or placed them in the vagina? Where does one buy Vitamin E in liquid form?

Someone recently suggested taking Vitamin E in large amounts. Was this to help with circulation? Thanks for anyone who can tell me.

I'd say orally, because it says "took" instead of "applied".

You can take vitamin E and to aply locally wheat germ oil. the problem of vaginal dryness has to do with hormonal imbalances, the best supplement is a product called Maca which you can find in good health food stores. There are in pills and there are in powder. If you buy in plls buy 500 mg and start to take 3 at every meal. Maybe you have to do some few months, but is good for libido and dryness. Any questions please contact me.

I see what you mean. Confusing! I think she ate a diet rich in Vitamin e and also inserted liquid vitamin e into her vajayjay.

I wonder if my wife would realize these benefits if we used Vitamin E as a personal lubricant during intercourse?

A nurse at my college health clinic told me about vitamin E for vaginal dryness. Let me tell you, it works wonders! I take 1 capsule 2x a day. I also think that it is a aphrodisiac. Well, maybe it's just me. Hope to hear back from other women about this!

Oh my goodness, yes! I was thinking due to my age that I was losing the ability to have as much lubrication as I had in the past (saw something about it on Dr. Oz) I read this thread and thought it was worth a try. I had a natural vitamin e complex and took one before bedtime. Well lets just say lubrication was NOT a problem last night!
Thanks for the tip. I'll be sure to share it!

i am suffering from vaginal dryness and im 30 years old. Should I take the vitamin e by mouth? or by inserting it into my vagina? how long before I will naturally lubricate again?

Nic, your body is telling you it is lacking in nutrition. I found that wheatgrass juice (drinking) a couple of times a week and taking a lot of wheatgrass powder in capsules totally cleared the problem.
Hot Flashes

I read that soy milk helps hot flashes because soy is similar to estrogen . I bought vitamin E and made sure it had soybean oil and it worked! The past couple days are like my life pre hot flashes!!! My hot flashes are new and very uncomfortable! It's like when your sugar levels run low and you get clammy! well the vitamin E with soybean oil works, I think that is key, some vitamin E do not have soy.
