Hello, Lynn. When I was in the throes of the Change of Life, my period, which had never caused me any problems when I was younger, got way too heavy - just gushing for days on end. I did some reading on herbs, and made about a gallon of infusion of Nettle, Raspberry Leaf, Lady's Mantle and Yarrow. I drank this over 2 days, the bleeding stopped in its tracks and the next one was normal, once again, until menstruation ceased about 2 years afterward once and for all.

For what that is worth. If I were to tell a doctor this tale of successful self-medication, I'd be hooted out of his office, for sure.

Also, shepherd's purse is supposed to be just great for excessive bleeding of any kind. So, best of luck to you.
