What would you do? Or what would a holistic person do if they had uterine bleeding problems? And uterine bleeding could be due to birth – excessive bleeding after birth. It could be due to a heavy, irregular period or it could be due to some abnormal reason, like when it's not your period but you're experiencing bleeding and it shouldn't be there. What should be done? What is the holistic protocol? In this lesson, I'd like to share with you the Arukah method: the protocol for uterine bleeding. Everything that I'm going to be sharing, I will compile it into a document so if you want that, please just go ahead and I'm going to put it on arukah.com/blog/uterine-bleeding. If that's too hard for you to remember or whatever, I'll put it in the description so that you can see the link to it and just click on it. I'll put it in this video, I'll put the whole thing but it's kind of long. It's going to be on arukah.com/blog/uterine-bleeding.

This is actually something that I have faced before in the past and that some of my students have as well. For me, it was after birth and you're supposed to stop bleeding after a certain period of time but for me, I just would not stop bleeding. I just kept on bleeding. My midwife told me, “You know, we need to get this checked out if you don't stop bleeding this weekend, we're going to have to go to the doctor and find out what's wrong with you because it's not good, this is abnormal.” And I hate going to medical doctors. If you follow me for any time, you know I hate going to medical doctors. I hardly ever ever ever go, especially ones that are not holistic. So, I took that as an ultimatum and I said, “Okay I'm going to stop bleeding, I'm going to stop bleeding this weekend.” and I knew what to do. I just hate doing it because it's not pleasant. I, basically, drank a cup of cayenne tea. I took a teaspoon of cayenne powder and put it in some hot water and waited till it was not hot, temperature-wise, anymore. I started drinking it and… I like a little spice in my food – I like Indian food and Mexican food and stuff like that – but whenever I do take cayenne tea – and I’ve done it several times in the past – it is intense and not enjoyable but it did its job and the bleeding that lasted for weeks stopped, basically, in one day because I drank a cup of cayenne tea, one teaspoon.

And there's another student. She told me that every time after intercourse she would experience bleeding. And so this is the method that I would recommend for everyone. So drinking a cup of cayenne tea. If you want to be more direct or if you want to do something in addition you can also douche with cayenne tea. So basically, you would make the cayenne tea just like I drink but instead of drinking it, you could put it in a douche bottle and I can get in the resource document that I'll provide. I'll give you a link. You can just buy an empty douche bottle from Amazon. Of course, you have to wait until the tea cools down to room temperature before you do that and you just squirt it inside yourself. Another way that you can do it is you can take cayenne tincture and put about 5 or 6 dropper-fulls of the cayenne in water. You can drink that. I prefer to make it from powder but you could do it with tincture too. You can use it either as a tea or as a douche or, with a tincture, you could actually just squeeze it right into your vagina. I think the douche is a lot better because you'll know that it really gets up there because that's what the douche is meant for.

Cayenne is very powerful. Even when my Children have bloody noses… and I'm not talking about just those regular bloody noses like once in a while. My son used to get bloody noses very very frequently and it was very hard for it to stop and he would, you know, sniff some kind of powder. He wouldn't always do that. There are other herbs that we used to strengthen his blood vessels so that he wouldn't need to do that but this is for emergency reasons, right? Also, I've had problems with wound healing in the past, too, where I'd get a cut and it just would not stop bleeding and putting cayenne powder right on that wound helped.

So, cayenne powder is very powerful for internal and also external bleeding. I've also used it for an ulcer that I had. Just drink some cayenne tea. Now, I know it can be really really harsh, really rough but cayenne is one of those emergency herbs that everyone should have on hand in tincture form as well as powder form. I think it's best to keep it everywhere like in the car in your house, when you go out, you know, go somewhere for vacation. It's a really powerful herb. There's all kinds of other healing properties of cayenne in terms of regulating your blood pressure. If someone is having a stroke or even a heart attack. Immediately take that cayenne tincture or tea, okay? So, cayenne. That's the number one thing that I would do for uterine bleeding.

In the resource notes that I'm going to provide, I'm going to also provide a link to an ebook. It's an interview with my herbalist teacher, Master herbalist Richard Schultz, where he talks all about the healing powers of cayenne and the different things and different ways that you can heal with it. It's really a super important herb and I think it's something that, I believe, everyone should have on hand and learn how to use. I'm going to give you an information booklet online on cayenne, as well, okay? So, basically, the most important thing is to drink cayenne tea for that uterine bleeding.

Now, the second thing is if the bleeding is due to hormonal imbalance and if it has to do with abnormal periods or heavy bleeding during your period or abnormal bleeding outside of your period – when it's not your time for your period and you're bleeding. Those are what I would consider a hormonal issue. You're bleeding when you're not supposed to be. In the case where I was bleeding because I had just given birth. Well, you know, I’ve just given birth. That was the reason for the bleeding. But for these other scenarios, it's very likely that your hormones are off. And so for this, I have a female tonic formula and I have a list of herbs that I will take and make into a tincture. This female tonic formula is great for balancing your hormones. It's great for regulating your periods. It's also great for PMS. It's great for helping you to become fertile and also helping you through menopause. It strengthens the female organs so it does a lot. It's great for the female reproductive system. So, this is something that I would do after I've got the bleeding under control, obviously. First, cayenne and this is more of a long game balancing your hormones and something that will take time.

So I'm going to give you the formula for the female tonic. If you're lazy and you don't want to buy the herbs and make it yourself – which is the most affordable way because this is something that you take daily over time, you know, weeks months probably until you feel better. The most affordable way is to buy the herbs and bulk mix it yourself, make a tincture out of it and I have instructions to do this and I'll put that in the notes. If you're lazy and you would rather just spend more money to just get the herbs, then I would recommend Richard Shultz's Female Tonic which you can get from his website, herbdoc.com but I'll put both of those links in the resource document, okay?

And of course, as with anything else, you know, the herbs have to be accompanied with a good diet, lifestyle and including a mindset change. You have to deal with all sicknesses, I believe, in a holistic manner, which is not just about taking an herb or some herbal formula one time or even on a daily basis. You have to give your body the food that it needs and cut out all the junk food, the sugar, the toxins, give it enough sunshine, water, rest, de-stress, you know, have more faith and trust in God and that everything is going to work out. Everything is for the good, even the bad things that happen sometimes and I know that can be very hard, but it's a very important part of holistic health and healing.

And then the last thing that I'd like to talk about is a possible thyroid disorder. It could be hormones – and that can be corrected with the female formula – but you might want to also look into your thyroid because an abnormal thyroid can also affect your periods and you're bleeding. You can have abnormal or irregular menstrual bleeding. That's going to be a separate video, separate topic, which I'll also put into the resources document when that's ready because what I'm planning to talk about in my next video is thyroid.

Shalom and I hope this video helps. You can always contact me for a holistic health coaching session and I'll have the resources and notes available.

To your health.
