Menorrhoea or excessive menstruation :
Normal menstrual flow is 2-4 days, with average length being 5 days. common at first few months after childbirth, and menopause approaches.
It is no coincidence that a highly processed, high-fat diet lacking in fresh vitamins and minerals and menstrual difficulties go hand in hand. Although we have come to accept menstrual cramps, heavy or irregular bleeding, migraines, hot flashes, *PMS, and mood swings as normal, they are indications that the body is not able to balance its hormonal cycle in a healthy manner. Every step you take toward eating good wholesome food is a step toward achieving a balanced cycle.
NOTE: * Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) has a wide variety of signs and symptoms, including mood swings, tender breasts, food cravings, fatigue, irritability and depression. It's estimated that as many as 3 of every 4 menstruating women have experienced some form of premenstrual syndrome.
Profuse menstrual flow is common in certain women and usually denotes a blood deficiency, especially blood calcium. A variety of causes may be responsible for this trouble, but toxic condition of the system is at the root of the matter. It is essential to keep the patient absolutely quiet and confined to bed. The bottom of the bed should be raised 10 cm to 13 cm. In case of excessive bleeding, a gauze may be inserted in the vagina as a temporary measure.
For the first few days the diet should consist only of raw vegetables. No stimulants should be taken as they tend to increase the flow. When the bleeding has stopped, great care should be taken to avoid over exertion or straining the body in any manner.
A full nature cure diet should then be adopted using fresh vegetables raw salads twice daily. As a long term measure, what is needed is a scheme of treatment which will thoroughly cleanse the system of toxic material.
