Heavy Bleeding During Periods Home Remedies - AYURVEDIC HEAVY MENSTRUATION BLEEDING
The menstrual cycle is a normal process in females that starts at the age of twelve or after that. Normally, this cycle is of three to seven days. But, in some women, periods get prolonged with heavy bleeding. They need to change their tampon (or sanitary pad) after every 2-3 hours. Such condition is called Menorrhagia. It results due to hormonal imbalance and is generally observed in females aged 40-50 years (before menopause).
