Gaia Herbal Therapy: Peri-Menopause & Life Saver Shepherd's Purse.
In my early 40s, my once-regular cycle suddenly changed. What had been predictable became irregular, with heavier bleeding, clotting, and longer periods.
Despite trying different medical approaches, things worsened. My periods stretched to 10–12 days, with only a short break in between. The bleeding was often overwhelming, affecting my daily life — from constant worry about leaks to always carrying extra clothes. I became anaemic, lightheaded, and exhausted.
Because I couldn’t tolerate synthetic hormones, my options were limited. While studying herbal medicine, I discovered Shepherd's purse, a herb known to help reduce heavy bleeding — and decided to try it.
The difference was remarkable. The bleeding became manageable, and I finally felt back in control.
More awareness is needed, as these changes can begin in our late 30s and early 40s.
