5 Natural Remedies for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Heavy menstrual bleeding, or Menorrhagia, is an abnormal condition that should not be taken lightly. Although occasional heavy menstrual bleeding is not serious, prolonged and heavy bleeding can disrupt a person’s normal life activities.

Natural remedies are widely promoted, basically because of their benefits and advantages compared to surgical procedures and synthetic/commercial medications. If you are suffering from Menorrhagia, here are 5 natural remedies known to help:

Cayenne Pepper

Cayenne is known for holding blood flow balancing properties. It is said to balance blood flow and relieve symptoms of Menorrhagia rather quickly. Take a cup of warm water, dissolve one capsule of cayenne in it, and drink it during your menstrual period.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is not only great as a tonic, but it can also help in reducing heavy bleeding during the menstrual cycle. This concoction will flush unwanted and harmful toxins out of the body and it can also help dissolve issues in the body that may be causing your heavy menstrual bleeding.

Flaxseed Oil

According to Phyllis Balch, author of the “Prescriptions for Nutritional Healing”, essential and healthy fatty acids are proven effective in the reduction of heavy menstrual bleeding. However, instead of taking commercial supplements or synthetic brands of flaxseed oil, you can opt for the healthier home remedy option. Try pouring natural flaxseed oil on some foods you normally eat such as yogurt, cereal, or oatmeal.

Herbs

There are a lot of herbs that can help slow down a heavy, menstrual flow. One is the Lady’s Mantle tincture. According to health experts, this herb can effectively reduce heavy bleeding. However, it takes time to take effect, probably 3 to 5 days. People advise taking the herb tincture a week before your expected menstrual cycle. You can use 5 to 10 drops of the herb, 3 times a day. Another herb recommended for heavy bleeding is Shepherd’s purse, which is more fast-acting than Lady’s Mantle. However, you can only take the herb in tea form, which is available in herbal health stores and some food stores.

Homeopathy

There are also reliable and recommended homeopathic remedies for heavy menstrual bleeding such as Natrum, mur and Secale. These trusted brands are recommended for women experiencing heavy bleeding, plus painful cramps. If your symptoms come with blood clots, you can also take Ipecacuanha or Belladonna. There are also homeopathic remedies for symptoms associated with dark blood clots during heavy bleeding. All these homeopathic remedies have dosage directions which are usually placed on the bottle, so make sure that you read the directions first before taking anything.

It is also important to avoid things that may worsen your condition. Taking blood thinners may cause heavier blood flow. Also, avoid foods that can thin blood, or medication which includes blood thinners. Consult your physician so you can get recommendations on how to safely reduce your dosage without risking your health.

Natural solutions, such as herbal medicines and homeopathic remedies, are great options when addressing heavy menstrual bleeding because they offer a safer, holistic approach without the harmful side effects.
