Apple Cider Vinegar for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

It was by God's grace that I came across this thread whilst searching for home remedies for excessive bleeding. I tried 1 tsp in a mug of water thrice a day and miraculously the flow reduced by 80% and had a restful sleep 💤😴 What a relief! Just wondering if anyone here has found or has suggestions for naturally shrinking fibroids? If so please do let know🙏

Apple Cider Vinegar for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

One more thankful person (43 yrs) for this site and the dear reviewers added to the list. ACV is truly miracle.

Whatnot had I tried! I had been facing a problem of heavy bleeding for 3 years, restricting me to home for most times. I was struggling with very low hb, taking IV, iron supplements and then many ways to manage the trouble my fibroids were causing.

When I bled, it bled like it's never gonna stop. I took all sorts of medicines.. mainstream, alternate but with very limited success.
And then as luck would have it as with so many others, I stumbled upon this site vouching for ACV. I religiously took 1 tablespoon everyday for a month and here I am. On the fifth day with very much regulated cycle when I was expecting it to be a big pain.

Minimal pain and no restriction at home. It was a bit heavy on the second day where I exerted a bit too much. Once I relaxed and resumed my daily routine, I was able to set out for grocery et al shopping and spent a few hours outdoors without any hassle. I did take it slow but no fear the way I dreaded leaving home in the past even for a couple of minutes.

Am so emotional that I can't even believe that it is working for me!! Go for it ladies!

The sole caution..please make sure you start slow with ACV and then increase dosage gradually especially if you get acidity and take care to drink lots of water with it to protect enamel.

Thank God!!!

I found this website and read the posts here. I was very eager to stop my heavy period because I don't want to loose so much blood. I took ACV right a way and after 2-3 days my heavy bleeding stops. I still take it twice a day half teaspoon in a cup for more than a week now. Hope others will find this helpful.

Thanks everyone for all your posts!

It worked for me!

Hi, Sylvia! I recommend using a glycolic acid cream or toner on the areas of your face that get ingrown hairs. Hope this helps.

Roselle, Black Strap Molasses replenishes iron much better than the pills. It absorbs into the body much better.

I have started consuming Apple Cider Vinegar since 30 days ago (so happened one day before my menstrual started). Did not consume it at first due to heavy menstrual flow but just for the overall benefits of it.

To my surprise during my last menstrual which always have been crazy with heavy flow on second day (10-15 pads/day), my second day flow reduced by 70-80%. Menstrual was more constant in flow and ended in 5 days (which was my norm). Since then I have been consuming Apple Cider Vinegar approx. 2 teaspoon wt 150ml water in the morning on empty stomach and 2 tablespoons wt 200ml water half an hour before dinner. Now came the second month exactly 29 days since my first day of my previous menstrual. I always have 25 or 26 days of menstrual cycle but this is my first time to have it after 29 days. Throughout my menstrual I did noticed that I did not have my regular premenstrual headaches and bloatedness. I did not have my regular lower back pain which travels down to my feet during the second day. Due to the much lesser flow, I slept better. There was also no discharge before and after menstrual. Btw, I am 45 years old and have been having heavy flow for about 4-5 years. For the past 3 years I have been diagnosed with very low red blood count due to very low iron. Have been taking iron tablets but to no avail. Have taken my full blood test 45 days ago and will have it check again after this month's menstrual cycle. Curious to know if Apple Cider Vinegar helps in the aspect of my red blood count as I am not losing so much blood now. But definitely it has helped with menstrual flow and all the achy stuff that comes with it. So far happy bout it.

I started taking Apple Cider Vinegar for weight loss reasons. So I had been taking 2 tbsp 2x a day a week before my cycle. When my cycle started I noticed that my cycle was very light. So I looked it up and sure enough, it said it can help with heavy bleeding PCOS. What a difference that made!!! Plus I stopped drinking alcohol for that time...I read that alcohol causes heavy bleeding too. So with both of these changes, my cycle was enjoyable. I hope this helps others!!

Me too. Makes me bleed more, horrible. So does cayenne. Its a blood thinner, like aspirin. Its illogical to suggest that for heavy bleeding.

You have no idea how much this post and comments from others helped me this week. I am 45 and this is the first time in a year that I have not had heavy bleeding and clotting after drinking the AVC.

I had a cup days before my period as I was clearing mucus from a cold.

On my 1st day of heavy bleeding this month, I found this article.

The following day, I had training for a new job and was having anxiety over having to keep getting up or possibly having a leak through accident. Needless to say, I was "normal" this first week of training with no heavy bleeding and not going through extra pads and tampons each hour! Saving me money as well. I have had such a pleasant experience this time, if that makes sense LOL..

Thanks so much to all who posted, I hope this helps!

The most reputable brand is Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. You can find it in most health foods stores and many grocery stores.

Hi Alex :)

Oregano essential oil seems to cause ovarian cysts in me, I get discomfort in that area. So the oregano oil may be the culprit.

Have you tried sage or vitex? They may be just what you are looking for. The sage would probably be taken only between periods or if the bleeding during your period is excessive. Just a few fresh leaves chewed and swallowed once a day may be sufficient. Check the produce section of the grocery store for fresh sage.

Dong quai is great right before your period starts to soothe the discomfort and mood.

❤

The problem began almost 2 years ago, it may have been a coincidence, but it was after I began drinking oregano tea.The menstrual blood was dark, thick and my periods changed. They became regular (had never happened) and they shortened but they were heavier. Went to several doctors, received no help and was diagnosed with various terminal illnesses that I ended up not having.

Fast forward to last month, the bleeding didn't stop. The periods arrived every 25 days and lasted for over a week. I was spotting and having clots as well. Of course, I was terrified. I couldn't see a doctor due to the pandemic, and so I decided to try remedies.

ACV worked immediately, but after 2 days, my stomach hurt a lot and I got acid reflux. I decided to stop and the bleeding came back.

I tried another remedy from here, cinnamon tea, and it worked magnificently for the bleeding (1/2 cinnamon stick boiled in 1 lt. of water, 1/2 a cup taken 3 times a day).

If I stop the cinnamon, the blood comes back. As for the stomach problems, I cannot eat anything slightly acidic or I get the pain and reflux again and it lasts for several days.

Hi I'm doing the apple cider vinegar too, I have a question, How long do you take it after your period to know it's finally stopped?

I was reading the reviews as I was googling. I read some great results from you. I just had bad 2 teaspoons as I just started It, I had severe bleeding for has put me on Tranexmic acid and noristhistone and iron tablets I brought the D vitamin myself. The blood is stopped but I hv to take the tablets for three months I've just started svc and has it after my lunch notices my sore throat was less sore so I'm wondering can anyone tell me when go off the medication will my periods become normal.

I'm 40 I have no kids and I'm frightened as I went tablets and I started bleeding again this was before I started svc. I hope to have normal clotting lighter blood and never look back I hv has the most terrible of times I'm always tired sleepy my emotional n work life has effected drastically can anyone require me this will work? I even contacted royal London hospital for advice I hv so many doctor appointments I'm really scared when see the blood it's leading to so many difficulties and I talk to anyone. I feel I'm not alone on this page. My blood is dark red with huge clots I change full 2/3packets before taking tablets I hv gone weak I take 11 tablets a day I just want the blood to become normal for life as even changed the way I eat generally I eat well it I've tried to control it more please if you have advice please let me know and thanks for sharing ur story good look with ur future and sharing such a personal issue thank you

I was so over the heavy period situation every month, I had to find a remedy so I've been drinking ACV two times a day and I have really noticed the difference it is definitely an acquired taste but its something you can get use to, especially if its going to help you.

Okay so maybe there's something wrong with me but my first menstrual since drinking ACV has been heavier than ever before.

can I know what brand of ACV is the best. I bought from a shopping complex or is all ACV gives the same result? am 45 and last month I was bleeding more than 14 day's . never experienced b4. am worried. please guide. thank you.

First if you have the ablation they are pretty easy, office procedure, I had one and it helped.

I also started bleeding terribly again (several years after the ablation). I found ACV and tried it. In 2-3 days all bleeding stopped. I put 3 TBLS in a 32oz. water jug and add a water flavoring I like to mask the taste. I drink it through out the morning and it has stopped the bleeding completely. I have also lost 7 pounds in just a couple of weeks. I generally feel better than I have in almost a year. It is worth a try. No doctor is going to tell you they agree on natural solutions, they want your money. But you know these are things ladies were doing back when there wasn't a wide knowledge of medical information especially for women issues.

Has anybody had problems with thickening of the lining of womb? Had lots of periods that were heavy and lasted a month or weeks .
Scan found a cyst and lining of womb is 34 mm .Been to gynaecologist and they want to do ablation to remove lining. I have been taking apple cider vinegar and black strap mollases for over a month now and had no bleed so far which is a miracle. Just wondering if it would reduce the womb lining naturally . Gynaecologist says he doesn't advocate any treatment like that and insists I need ablation. I'm very worried and hate hospitals.

Any advice would be brilliant thanx 😇😇😇😇

I started using ACV 2 months ago. Originally I did this in order to help lose weight. But I noticed that my period dramatically decreased the first month. I thought it was just a good month that I had a normal period without all of the heavy bleeding. So 2nd month came around. I didn't do the ACV the 1st day, I had a heavy flow that night and that morning. I immediately decided to resume my ACV just to see if it actually worked. Within a couple of hours, the flow decreased drastically. Also, the benefit is that I am actually losing weight slowly, but I'm losing weight.

Make sure you use bio-identical progesterone cream and magnesium citrate everyday. It will stop the heavy bleeding.

I was taking ACV for about 9 months--2 tablespoons in orange juice every evening. For my fibroids. Then I stopped for about 2.5 months. I just started again. ACV never really lightened my heavy periods. It just made my period shorter. That is, the 2 days would be very, very heavy. Then much lighter the next few days. And then gone after about 3 or 4 days. ACV has helped with other issues (lethargy, respiratory cough). But I still get heavy Days 1 and 2.

I started using ACV a few months ago to lose a few extra pounds. My period was regular because of my birth control. 2 months ago I was waiting for my period, it usually came on Friday or early Saturday. All day Saturday I was in a panic because nothing had happened and I thought I was pregnant! Luckily later in the afternoon my period started and I was relieved lol! So I looked it up and learned that ACV can help with periods... cool! The next month the same thing happened... cool! This month, well it is now the Tuesday after the Saturday that I was supposed to start....and nothing!!! I had no period at all this month. Crazy but I am not complaining! (and no I am not pregnant :D ) This works! I only drink a small glass of OJ with a splash of ACV before dinner and it does the trick!

Hi, this is my first time posting, but I just had to because of this change I've noticed. I've been drinking ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) and lemon mixture, for the last couple of weeks now for an diet experiment. And I've noticed that when my cycle came around, that it was VERY light. I'm usually a heavy bleeder, so I was shocked. That's why I'm here, looking for information about it. I wasn't sure if it's the lemon's or the ACV, but either way, I am happy to have some relief with it.

What a blessing!!!! I promised God if this worked for me I would write a review so here is my story, I always had somewhat heavy periods but, as I got older around the age of 43 I started getting heavier periods with flooding and huge blood clots . Here I am at age 45 and didn't want to have the heavy bleeding and clots because I was on a cruise last year that kept me basically in my cabin bc of heavy period . I am about to go on a cruise in three weeks and didn't want the same experience ( my period is due two days before I come home ) so I decided to experiment on this period some holistic cures. I stumbled across this thread and read that Apple Cider Vinegar would help me. I was skeptical but, said to myself what do you have to lose? So I started the regime on the second day of my period I took 1 tablespoon 3 times a day in water. My period was almost non existent I only had to change my pad once!!!! ( I usually use ten pads a day sometimes double up ), last night I was waiting to wake up from "flooding " nope!!!!! What a blessing!! Thank u God for this miracle and this news thread!!!!!!

Woke up in a panic over menopausal "floods" this morning, jumped on my phone, looked up natural remedies and came across ACV. Took 2 teaspoons in a glass of water and flow was almost instantly ceased.

How long did u take the apple cider vinegar before the heavy bleeding stopped?

Hi, those symptoms are probably from normal detox due to ACV eliminating toxins from your body in general. I experienced this as well when I started taking it. Its a good sign!

My cycles came twice a month and heavy each time. I start taking Apple Cider Vinegar everyday with one to two tablespoons added to one cup of water a day every day and throughout day drink plenty of water. It took about 2 months for the heavy flow to stop.

Should I continue taking Acv after it stops?

Thank you for your post. I have been taking the Raw organic apple cider vinegar, but have missed the last few days. Even though I'm transitioning into Menopause I ended up w/ a migraine and heavy flow. I'm going to get back on the vinegar. I don't need this sort of trouble. It's difficult to be at work in this situstion. Thank you for posting it!
