Guest guest Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hello so glad I came across this list. I am 42 with 3 children. The past yr I have had nightmare cycles. Extremely heavy for 3 days then last for at least five more. I have reg scheduled just heavy. Take thyroid meds they r within range. Nothing really changed other than age. Don't want bc pills, reluctantly but with open mind tried mirena, too many side effects. Doc wants me to do radical procedure- endometrial ablation, have no desire for that but something has to be done not living to full potential like this! Looking for a more natural approach. Would love to hear natural approach to helping this problem. I am a total newbie to herbs so I need some education pls. Any and all suggestions welcome. Am hoping to hear a success story! Was wondering too if accupuncture could possibly help? Tks in advance! Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 It would be interesting to know what menstrual products you use. I have read that a menstrual cup can be very helpful for heavy flows and, although it may not be a " cure " , if tampons are a cause then it could be pretty close. Two brands I know of are the Divacup and the Mooncup. I think it would be best to get a silicone cup as the " rubber " versions have latex in them. I'd also suggest you research iodine. And maybe magnesium. I'm no expert on herbs either but you could try finding info from Susun Weed, she's into women's health.
