Natural health: How to deal with heavy menstrual flow

I am looking for a natural remedy to help with a heavy menstrual flow. I consider my periods to be relatively trouble-free, but it feels as if I am losing more blood than I should be.

There is one herbal remedy that is very successful in treating menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding) — Shepherd’s Purse.

This so-called weed can be found in abundance at this time of year, taking its name from the shape of the seed pods which look similar to the leather purses commonly worn by shepherds in ancient times.
