Dear Bob Liebert,

Is there any herbal remedy to help a child with hemophilia?

Dorota

Dear Friend,

I would suggest starting with the extracts of Nettles and Plantain. These are very safe, non-toxic herbs that mildly aid in the control of spontaneous bleeding, with a tonic effect on the organs of blood-making. There are other herbs, such as Alum Root and Shepherd's Purse that may have stronger effects on acute bleeding, due to their tannins and/or Vitamin K content. The former herbs I mentioned would be better to start with for longer-term use, and especially if medications are also being taken.

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist

You can buy these herbs and many more in the Formula and Single Herb sections of the Teeter Creek Herb website. Herbs that don't appear in the Formula or Single Herb lists can usually be requested in the "Message" section at the bottom of the order page.
