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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
