Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 I'm new to the group so I thought I would introduce myself. I'm a single mother of three and I pretty much only treat them with herbs. The question that I have is I have tried pretty mich everything to slow the bleeding when I get my period. Most months it gets so bad that I can be far from a bathroom because I'm in there about every 15 minutes. One month I drank shepard's purse tea what seemed like by the gallon full. That helped but the next month it did NO GOOD. I've tried pills that would work on month but not the next. (I can't remember what was all in them.) I'm almost to the point of going to the doctor and getting everything pulled out cause I can't stand this. I don't want anymore children I just want my periods to slow down or stop all together. Can anyone help me????? Thanks, Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Check out the Female Formulas in the files - they will re-balance your female hormones, as it sounds like they are out of whack. That should handle the problem. A note of the side: while I was eating only organic raw foods as part of my cleanse/Incurables program, my period lasted only 2 days! A friend of mine told me she'd heard of that before with people eating a raw diet. love Lisa - tn_cowgirl herbal remedies Thursday, November 03, 2005 5:39 PM Herbal Remedies - New to group & Question I'm new to the group so I thought I would introduce myself.

Can anyone help me????? > Tuesday *********** I don't know if you use " conventional " tampons/pads, but if so, have you ever tried eliminating them for a period or so? About 4 or 5 years ago, I stopped using them, and each and every period since then went down to only 4 days (they were always 6 - 7 days long before that - my entire life) In addition, my periods are always much lighter now, and I have less cramping and even less bloating from water retention. I have mentioned this to several other women I know, and most have found the same/similar results when they tried it.... I believe that the synthetic fibers, bleaches, anti-microbial pesticides, chemical scents etc. used in mainstream sanitary products must cause some type of inflammatory reponse in many women, and can induce different symptoms from their use (especially the tampons used internally). Just a thought, in case you may not have tried it yet... One more thought, is that if (?) you take any chemical pharmaceuticals, many of them can cause a host various menstrual side- effects... Check PDR's/Product Information Sheets on them (if you take any) FWIW Jan / Michigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Have you tried taking Kava Kava, or avorado's are a great thing to thicken the blood. I have learned this by hands on. As I have blood cancer, and these are the things that have thickened my blood up. Thickens blood avorcado kava kava Large amounts of vitamin K are found in foods such as liver, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and green leafy vegetables (e.g., spinach, Swiss chard, coriander, collards, cabbage). These are all things that thickens your blood. Thins blood Carrots Strawberries Cranberries Asprin Peanuts Mortin Advil Nuprin Orudis Orudis KT Oruvail Naproxen Aleve angelica root, anise, arnica flower, asafoetida, bogbean, boldo, Bromelain - Herbs with Anti-platelet properties. capsicum, celery, chamomile, clove - Herbs with Anti-platelet properties. danshen, fenugreek, feverfew, fish oil, garlic - It has been indicated that when essential garlic oil was mixed with blood samples from healthy individuals, cells were less likely to clump together (coagulate) in a laboratory setting. Although there had been no documented reports of any serious interaction effects when taking both Coumadin and garlic, studies had implied that a serious reaction might be possible. ginger - Traditionally, ginger (Zingiber officinale) has been taken to curb motion sickness and arthritis. Today, it has been reported to reduce blood clotting. ginkgo - Ginkgo leaf has been shown to decrease platelet aggregation. It is thought that the ginkgo constituent, ginkgolide B, displaces platelet-activating factor from its binding sites, decreasing blood coagulation (6048). horse chestnut, horseradish, licorice, meadowsweet - Herbs that may contain salicylates. onion - Herbs with Anti-platelet properties. panax ginseng, papain, passionflower, poplar - Herbs that may contain salicylates. prickly ash, quassia, red clover, turmeric - Herbs with Anti-platelet properties. vitamin E - At appropriate doses, vitamin E has been shown to have virtually the same pharmacological properties as Coumadin (crystalline warfarin sodium - a prescription anticoagulant). This means that appropriately high doses of Vitamin E may be substituted for Coumadin. Vitamin E may be considered safer than warfarin, the generic name of Coumadin. Increase the dose of Vitamin E over a period of weeks. Most people start with 200 IU daily, and eventually get to between 1,200 and 2,400 IU daily. Do it gradually, and here's a way to tell how it is working - Go in to see your doctor regularly, as you always do, and continue to have him check your protime with a blood test called the PT-INR (Pro Time - International Normalized Ratio), as he always does. If you get the protime numbers he wants, he may not care how you got them and they can be mainteaned safely. The more Vitamin E you take, the stronger the Coumadin's effect. You'll probably get to the point where your protime is too long, and your doctor may have to reduce the dosage of Coumadin." wild carrot, wild lettuce, willow bark - Herb that may contain salicylates, and others. Good luck, I hope this helps.zoomom9 <zoomom9 wrote: herbal remedies , "tn_cowgirl" <tn_cowgirl> wrote:> The question that I have is I have tried pretty mich everything to > slow the bleeding when I get my period.
