Home Remedies For Bleeding
While any excessive or unusual bleeding is certainly a medical emergency, herbs can also be very effective for bleeding from a wide variety of causes.
Traditionally these anti-hemorrhagic herbs are called styptics. Indeed, their unique ability to both prevent and arrest bleeding should make them part of every emergency kit. Botanical medicines can work speedily for bleeding from injuries or wounds. They are also very effective for ruptures of capillaries or small veins in the nose, gums, or around hemorrhoids.
Several herbs are particularly effective as a compress, wash, or lotion for these types of external bleedings, especially calendula, St. John’s wort, and witch hazel. These vulnerary herbs also have the advantage of accelerating wound healing, while being antiseptic. Additionally, herbs rich in collagen-building nutrients, bioflavonoids, and vitamin C can strengthen blood vessels to prevent excessive bruising or bleeding. Other plants are effective for internal bleeding as well, affecting organs that include the stomach, intestines, and bronchial tubes. Geranium, lesser periwinkle, and lady’s mantle are good examples. Excess menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) or bleeding between periods (metrorrhagia) require attention and specific herbs such as trillium and shepherd’s purse. Naturally, any underlying causes of bleeding, such as hormonal imbalance, need to be discovered and dealt with.
