Natural cures for menorrhagia (heavy menstrual flow)

Live healthy and long

I have been confronted with questions on natural cures for  heavy menstruation  (menorrhagia)  This could be frightening, as the patient might die from blood loss.  JC Kurian book prescribes the bark conconction from the Asoka tree and flowers of the Tannae  inserted into the ladies organ for a few minutes.

There are also various teas that prescribed: agrinomy, raspberry, garden sage, and lady mantle .

This a  very comprehensive discussion on heavy menstrual flow by Dalene Barton.  The article analyses the cause and some cures which include food rich in iron and some teas.  Excessive menstrual bleeding can come from various causes:   hormonal imbalance, blood thinning medication (pharma or herbs), pelvic disorder,  rarely liver or kidney disease

Some cures by Barton include:

l. Vitex,

2.  Eating Maca

3.  Progesterone

4.  DIM

5.  Heavy bleeding infusion tea (includes hibiscus)

High suicide rates in North Carolina USA, attributed to coal power plants?

Live healthy and long

Repost from GreenEnergy and Clean Technica

The high suicide rates in North Carolina has been attributed to presence  of many coal fired power plants.  The environmentalists are up in arms vs. coal power plants in the PHL: in Pagbilao, Sual, Calaca and many other places in the PHL.  Coal power plants in China  are numerous and there is high rate of PM 2.5 pollution  and consequently high death rates in the same country. (Although more comes from indoor pollution - woodstoves inside the house)

The study has been made by Dr John Spangler who figures in many posts at this site
