Default Re: Shepherd's Purse for heavy menstrual bleeding

Right there with you, mama. It looked like a Civil War skirmish in my bathroom this morning - blood everywhere. I was caught off guard! It was like post partum bleeding. I am so sorry you are going through this, too.

Shepherd's Purse (capsella bursa-pastoris) is an herb and I have a tincture at home that my midwife gave me when I had my MC. It really helps uterine bleeding and it does seem to have helped me. You can get it at a HFS. Oops...I see mine expired 1/05. It probably would have helped more if it had been fresh!

I stuck the Latin name there so you could make sure, if you buy it, that you are buying the real thing and not another herb with that common name.

Also, Marilyn Shannon has a book called Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition - I have not read it in a couple of years but I am pretty sure there is a section in there about heavy menstrual bleeding, dietary causes and helps, and supplements. I will try to find it if I have not loaned it out to someone and read up...
