Herb Pharm Shepherd's Purse Liquid Herbal Extract - 1 fl oz

Gory review - don't read if you're queasy! I am almost 48 and have had a lot of issues with my periods, which used to be so easy, over recent years. Two months ago, I was absolutely desperate following yet another death-defying episode of volumes of bright red blood during my cycle that I now understand is known as "flooding." All of my GYN tests, including an ultrasound, were normal. It was getting so bad that I feared to leave the house even though for years I have used a menstrual cup, which, under normal circumstances, can be worn for up to twelve hours and affords tremendous freedom not to mention the near ability to forget one's period. I was emptying mine hourly. It was horrifying. I also had some BIG clots. To be clear, I got my period at age nine and for decades I had an easy time of it. I know what a normal period should be. This was anything but: terrifying, nausea inducing, omg I'm going to die amounts of fresh red blood, literally gushing at times. VERY distressing.I read everything I could find, and the many reviews from other women before me, and settled on the following regime:Vitex capsules 1 2X dailyRed Raspberry Leaf capsules 2 1X dailyLady's Mantle tincture 3 droppers dailyRed Raspberry Leaf tea occasionallyThen, once my period started to show signs of flooding (on day 2) I took the Shephard's Purse every hour at first, then periodically again over the next 24 hours, and again any time my flow turned bright red instead of the normal deep color. It worked. I had one bad day and then my period proceeded quite normally.This was only my first cycle on the regime and I did have wicked cramps and migraine for one day, but I feel confident that I now at least have the ability to stop the very worst symptoms of extreme bleeding. I did not start the Shephard's Purse in the days before my period, which I plan to do this time, maybe 3-5 days before, just 3X daily. I want this to be my weapon of last resort, only for heavy bleeding. I carried it in my purse - what a miracle of convenience!I found it bizarre that my GYN who is younger than me, and is a woman, had no answers for me. It is clear that Western medicine has nothing, absolutely nothing to offer women dealing with these issues and I feel very lucky that, for the first time in history due to the internet, women have the ability to share their wisdom and find answers themselves. "Folk medicine" may lack the clinical studies and scientific evidence for real credibility but gee, I wonder why? Who would fund these studies? For me, I am absolutely certain this made a difference and I am hopeful that I can manage this life transition effectively using a holistic approach. I hope this helps.***Update from my May review. I am now on my third cycle with this regimen. I had almost no cramps this time and the first two days were easy. On day three my period was heavy but not as bad as before. That day I took a dropperful of SP every hour for about five hours until the bright red blood subsided. When I woke up the next day I was back to a light flow of deep red menstrual blood again. For those who have not had luck with this I would say that this likely needs to be used in conjunction with other herbs that are used all month long. I am now down to one Vitex capsule per day and two red raspberry leaf capsules daily. I only take Lady's Mantle drops 3X daily during the second half of my cycle and stop it when my period starts. The SP is ONLY for flooding episodes of bright red blood. I am not concerned about the contraindications, which don't apply to me, and other associated risks that another reviewer mentioned as I use so little of it for just 2-3 days a month at best. I am comfortable with both the source and quality of this product. Everyone must conduct their own research and find their way. The combination of these things, for me, has given me my life back. No migraine this month either so far. . . knock on wood! This month I tried Mountain Rose herbs brand and it smells and tastes awful but was very effective. Herb Pharm tastes/smells much better but I don't care - I just add it to a little water and shoot it down.

Seems to have a positive affect on my well being.

Shepard purse is great for Women with premenstrual problems, long periods, and menstrual cramps. I had the iud mirena in for 4 years and after taking it out.. Oh man.. I ..I was not prepared. After 2. ER trips with prescriptions to "wait till my body adjusted" I went on a frantic search for a natural herb or a cure that could reduce the insane amount of blood I was loosing daily. I came across Shepard's purse and it works like a charm!! It really works! Two months of taking it and I'm regular again and no more 3 week long periods. When I start my period I take it,as directed and my periods are lighter and don't last weeks anymore! After 4 months for a regular period.. I stupidly stopped using it and WOW big mistake! So if your a heavy bleeder or you just took out an iud don't second guess this product and just buy it!Oh and yes,it tastes nasty and stings a little but I promise you the taste and sting is so worth it!! I'm on my second bottle lol!

UPDATE: I had another bout of heavy bleeding (2 months) and I went through 2 bottles and it did nothing for me. It would slow it down for about an hour and then the bleeding was back. But Praise GOD, he led me to another remedy that worked within 30min. Look up Dr. Ray Peats carrot salad to balance hormones and remove the estrogen dominance that's causing the heavy bleeding. Within 3 days the bleeding had completely stopped. I started off with 2 salads a day one in the morning and one at night and tapered off to one salad per day. You take one organic carrot (grated with skin on), one tsp of apple cider vinegar with Mother, 1 tsp of melted coconut oil and mix it. Let it sit for about 30min or so then enjoy.This stuff works. However, this tincture is the real deal. The diagnoses given some years ago was PCOS. I have suffered from excessive bleeding for the last five years and inconsistent periods my whole life. My GP has not been able to help me other than to tell me that I have to have a hysterectomy. After some research, I found this little bottle of gold that tastes like crap but it does the job. Its so amazing that nothing “doctors” made worked but GOD’s medicine is true. Ladies, do not take t as advertised. I took it like that and it did nothing for me. I wasted a whole bottle but I decided to keep trying. I could see that it was stopping the bleeding but then it would come back again. So, I take one drop without mixing it with water and take it every 2 hours until the bleeding stops all the way down to just spotting then I take it less but I will not stop taking it until the bleeding is all the way gone.

I rarely write a review, but I had to this time. I'm in my 40s and for the first time have experience irregular periods. First my period was late for 41 days, and then it finally came on after taking some raspberry tea for 2 days. The period was super light at first then it became very heavy and this lasted for 20 days. At day 10 I was looking for natural treatments since my doctor said I may be going into premenopausal. She put me on hormones, but I refuse to take it after reading the horrible side effects. Anyways I prayed fervently to God for healing, and for Him to also lead me to a natural treatments that worked. I'm so full with joy because after taking the shepherd's purse for 3 days it lighten the period, and after a total of 5 days it was completely gone. I can't thank, and praise God enough for this Natural remedy that actually works, and it works fast! I'm going to order two more bottles today to have in stock just in case this issue happens again, and I pray it's doesn't. It was a complete nightmare, and I wanted to post my review to help other women that are going through the same thing that I was. Ok last thing. When using this I took a dropper full mixed with 2oz of water every two hours except when I was sleeping. So from 7 a.m to 10 p.m. I did this for the first 3 days. On day 3 the period lighten up at least 80% less bleeding. So after that I started to take less of the Herb. I would only take it twice a day in the morning and at night. On day 5 the bleeding stopped completely so I might take the shepherd's purse 1 time per day for additional 3 to 5 days to make sure no bleeding returns. I also took iron pills daily while going through this for 20 days. This definitely work for me & this is a 100% honest review.God has natural medicine for us in nature that works effectively!! Thank you Holy Father in Heaven!REVELATION 22:2 The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
