Herbs Better than Antifibrinolytic Medication for Menorrhagia
Woman 43 years, low energy, extremely heavy periods. Gets migraines from hormonal therapies, so doctor has prescribed Tranexamic Acid, an antifibrinolytic medication used in bleeding disorders to prevent haemorrhage. This medication is taken acutely at the onset of pre-menstrual spotting, for the duration of the period.

Rx 2:
Tienchi Ginseng 100ml
5-10ml 1-4 times daily, up to 50ml per day for up to 2 days at onset of period.
2 weeks later: Period was a lot easier to manage, with less blood lost, patient feels more energised and happier in herself. Still took Tranaxemic Acid but needed less. Repeat formulas.
5 weeks later: Has felt much more joyful on herbal tonic, more energy and vitality. Second period since commencing treatment used no Tranaxemic Acid, only Tienchi Ginseng. Patient reports that the blood is thicker, less watery, and the flow is much less. She also noticed a bleeding nose that would usually bleed for an hour clotted properly!

3 weeks later:
Cycle is exactly one month, flow has normalised.
f missed a dose of herbs, woke up hot, but fine if taking the tonic.
Since finishing herbs energy has dropped again, herbs definitely improved energy.
Sugar cravings also worse since herbs ran out.
Much less emotional with herbal support. Comments I love seeing herbs do so much so quickly, this is the first time in her life she is having a “normal” period without the OCP. She has continued to have a regular cycle since (now 6 months), has had regular follow-ups and says the tonic is “working brilliantly”.
