Dear Bob Liebert,

I have regular heavy menstrual bleeding for the last 6 years. I am 47. Large clots that cause very fast discharge when they come out. Not too much discomfort. I'm determined to get thru this naturally but it's becoming a problem.

Dear Friend,

I would recommend the BLACK HAW BARK extract, taken twice daily for a period of time as a toner and hormonal balncer. A week before expected period (otherwise with bleeding), SHEPHERD'S PURSE extract can be taken 3 x a day; doses can also be taken every couple of hours for more acute bleeding. It is traditionally used for menstrual bleeding with clots and profuse flow.The Shepherd's Purse has to be taken as a fresh herb extract. I would experiment with these; other herbs to maybe add could be Witch Hazel (intermenstrual bleeding), and maybe more hormonal-balancing herbs. What is the history of how this began?

Yours in healing,
Bob Liebert, herbalist
