Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Dear All, Some advise please. 13 weeks pregnant woman with recurrent bleeding (started week 10) of normally rusty brown blood from fairly large haematoma in womb near the placenta. She is feeling rather frail and weak. The foetus is alive (as confirmed by ultrasound); however I fear that if the bleeding is not stopped soon, the chances of a successful term are not great. Herbal teas (incl. Chinese) make her sick; Tr's are o.k. I am now treating her with Vib. op. (in large amounts), Urtica, and moderate amounts of, Achillea, Calendula and Trillium (unfortunately my Capsella Tr. smells 'off'), together with some Qi and Blood tonics (Astragalus, Atractylodes and Paeonia) - my range and supply of (western) gynae herbs is unfortunately limited. What maximum dosages of the above can I consider? Any other suggestions? Regards, Dirk Dirk G. Petzsch, BSc (Hons) Herbal Medicine Lic. O.H.M. Lic. Ac.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Feel I am out on deep waters but wouldn´t Achillea Millefolium and Alchemilla vulgaris be a good idea against the bleeding. If tea makes her sick add some ginger (Know its not an incredibly healthy option but Holland and Barrett candied ginger works a treat).

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Dear Dirk, What about Raspberry Leaf? Although often used to tone uterine muscle in preparation for birth it can be used to prevent miscarriage and is available in tincture. Have had some success with this herb with a couple of my patients.
