Occasionally, and always when it’s least expected or wanted, one’s period can flood. Should the flood be of short duration, there is no problem; but if it continues for days on end, or repeats itself each month, hormone imbalances or displacement of the spine or hip must be considered and professional help sought. Sometimes menorrhagia occurs because there has been no ovulation; then the increased thickening of the uterine wall can cause congestive infection.
-Professional advice should be sought if the problem persists.
-An increase in dietary iodine is important (take kelp tablets or eat extra seaweed).
-Consume plenty of superfood.
-Keep the diet simple yet supportive, with just whole grains, vegetables, and fruit.
-It is useful to take astringent herbs to stanch the flow. A classic choice would be red raspberry leaf—an astringent rich in iron and calcium. Other herbs would include lady’s-mantle leaf, cranesbill leaf, or yarrow leaf. Yarrow is available for picking from spring to late autumn; use it to make a tea.
-To balance the hormones, there are many herb options; an individual choice of plants will probably be necessary. Start with chaste tree berry and squaw vine root.
-Don’t exercise heavily until the flow has decreased, and keep any water contact gentle and warm.
