Natural way to have lighter periods??

Question

I'm looking for a natural way to lighten my period and shorten it.. Meaning no hormones, or IUDs etc.. Does anyone know of any natural ways to lighten and shorten a period??

Answer

Red raspberry leaf supplement helps some folks. Can especially be helpful with cramps.

Answer

I heard before that drinking a good amount of water helps lighten periods..not sure whether it's just a myth though.

Answer

Acupuncture I'm doing it now to try and conceive before I do anything other routes. Dr told me that it will stop my blood clots and cramps will be easier to manage. Trying it out got my 2nd treatment tomorrow :)

Answer

Fat feeds prostaglandins(the hormones that infame and cause pain of the uterus cramping) so doing lowfat(no animal fat) during my period really helped. Eating a ton of pineapple and taking bromelain also helped. You can also get novasure if you're "old enough" or have "a complete family" or if you can convince a gyn who performs the uterus scarring that your periods are severely heavy, that might work too. It's a gold mesh heated with electricity to scar the lining, freezing it, or using hot water to scar it. That should be a last resort though.

Answer

Water and going vegetarian or at least greatly decreasing your meat in take helps, in addition to being active. When i was vegan i had the best periods of my life and noticed a drastic change when i switched back.

Answer

Exercising really helps lighten mine and relieves cramping! Sometimes makes it shorter, too.

Answer

There isn't too much you can do about controlling your flow... but evening primrose oil really helps things go smoothly cramp and pain wise. (Supplement taken internally)

Answer

It's better to get it out faster. If you have painful cramps use some exercising like stretching. My period is usually intense in second and third day, after that is just spotting so I can't complain.
