YARROW

Unlike conventional medications, the plants that help regulate the menstrual cycle have the peculiar ability to do both; bring on absent or delayed menstruation or help reduce excessive menstruation and cramping. Yarrow is one of these herbs. Yarrow has many other uses including being a powerful anti-inflammatory herb. Here it functions as an emmenagogue.

A blend of the above three herbs in a tincture form is a perfect prescription for Amenorrhea associated with hormonal imbalance. Combine 2 parts of blue cohosh, 2 parts of chaste tree and 1 part of yarrow tinctures (Hoffmann, 2003). Dosage is ½ teaspoon 3 times per day until menstruation begins.

Safety: Contraindicated in pregnancy.

Dose: 2-4 mL 3x/day of a 1:5 in 25%; 1-2 teaspoons dried yarrow infused in 8 ounces boiling water for 15 minutes 3x/day.
