Herb Pharm Certified Organic Shepherd's Purse Liquid Extract, 1 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 daily Red Raspberry Leaf capsules 2 1X daily Lady's Mantle tincture 3 droppers daily Red Raspberry Leaf tea occasionally Then, 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.

I am in perimenopause and experienced a cycle over a month long, with extremely heavy bleeding. It became difficult to live my daily life (I was desperate) so I started searching for something to help. I stumbled upon this after taking a different supplement that wasn’t helping. This started to work immediately. I took a dropper full in water 5x per day and by day 3 I saw a marked decrease in my flow. After 5 days of taking it, my flow had nearly stopped. (This after soaking a super+ tampon and heavy pad in 1 hour almost round the clock for several days at the heaviest). As one reviewer stated, I kept taking it for a few days after things had stopped, just to be sure. The taste is awful but I can find a way around that in order to get results. Highly recommend.

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.

Y’all! If you’re looking for shepherds purse, please stop here. I was on my period for about two weeks and I started to get incredibly frustrated and desperate. I wanted to see if something natural would work. I purchased Shepherds purse in tea form and gave it about four days. It did absolutely nothing. This tincture is what I felt like God was leading me to but I bought the other because it was cheaper. I finally purchased this instead and by this time, I was already into my third week. This product worked in three days. I saw someone else mention that it took three days for them too. I wanted to give the product my all so I used it 5 times a day (the bottle said you can use it 2-5 times a day). I used a whole dropper in two ounces of juice/water for the first day and then the other two I used 40 drops because someone had mentioned that too. You have to experiment on yourself and see what works for you. All in all I would suggest trying it. It’s worth it and not expensive if it doesn’t work. Saved my life and sanity.

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.

Speaking to the quality of the brand not the use of the herb itself! I LOVE herb pharm

Menorrhagia as the medical term for menstrual periods in which bleeding is abnormally heavy or prolonged. Which I have this since age 12 now 35. It’s a medical condition that I have never ignored but so tired doctors not finding a cure only give me birth control pills, the depo shot to supposedly help to regulate my periods but never ever has worked for me. Tried so many natural remedies and never been successful. What scares me the most is you can have a heart attack because of loosing lots of blood puts a strain on your heart, and as your poor little heart pumps harder and harder to get your trickle of blood flowing, it can lead to a heart attack even death I been told. I been admitted to the E.R. several times in my life for being so weak severe shortness of breath and fainting due to my blood loss. Desperate last month for being again on my period for 3 months non stop. So I called a health food store and told me they didn't have shepards purse that they had to order it and in a week or so they would have it. so I just decided to order it my self since I heard it was suppose to stop bleeding right away . Nice little portable instant drops that I could put on my tongue. So found it here in Amazon. I order it got here in 2 days started taking entire 1dropperful in 2 ml 5 times a day but didn't see a difference only difference was I wasn't passing any blood clots. Very disappointed started to Google why wasn't it working ... it had so much great feedback on how it had helped millions of women with the same problem I have. So I found out that the dosage on the label for me that wasn’t enough. I upped the dosage of Shepherd’s Purse to 1 dropperful every hour under my toungue… and finally — I gained some control over the bleeding. I'm so amazed😊

I took this medicine over the course of 2.5 days. I did not have any other supplements or a change in my diet. This particular formulation of this herb tore my stomach to shreds. I had severe abdominal and uterus pain. It woke me up in the middle of the night in pure agony. I took this as directed. It tastes bad, and smells bad, but I could have gotten past that if it worked. Once I was certain that this medicine was causing my issues, I stopped immediately. It took another day for my body to get back to normal. On top of that, my bleeding became much heavier, alarmingly so. I am not saying that this is not a good herb, but this formulation is not good for me at all. It did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do. It will apparently not do that to everyone, but it is doing it to enough people, that this company needs to look closely at what other ingredients they've added to this formulation, how it is stored, shipped, etc. because my symptoms should be rare, but from the negative reviews, they are not. I am not convinced that it is the herb itself, but possibly a combination of things - the formulation being one of them.
