Pam's tinctures, blog posts and Q&As have been such a Godsend as I've navigated the ups and downs of motherhood this year, and I am so deeply grateful for all that she does! I first discovered her products at Healthy Horizons in Burlingame when I was starting to get recurrent plugged ducts while trying to breastfeed my daughter, and my lactation consultant recommended Herb Lore's Poke Root tincture to me. It was hugely helpful in clearing up any plugs that I had going on, but unfortunately they started recurring more and more frequently and I eventually had to make the decision to wean my baby off and dry up the milk I was producing. I then switched to Herb Lore's Sage Tincture which helped me dry up safely, while continuing to nurse my baby as long as I could. After that I discovered her other non-alcohol based tinctures including Astragalus, Echinacea, Cold Comfort, Quiet Cough and also her Teething Tincture, and I love that I now have a natural, drug-free way to protect my family from all the germs and flu viruses around us especially during flu season. And of course with my baby's teething pains! Pam and her guidance, information and herbal tinctures have now become such a big part of my family's life and health that I don't know what I'd do without her. Thank you Pam! RJ
Herb Lore’s Hem Stopper Tincture is used to help staunch bleeding after a birth. It’s best used immediately after the birth (and after the birth of the placenta), and as long as the bleeding or risk of bleeding continues. If the placenta has not been birthed yet and is the cause for bleeding, the Placenta Release Tincture is then recommended.
This tincture is not for use during pregnancy, but is fine for birth.
The Hem Stopper Tincture contains organic Blue Cohosh Root, Yarrow, Motherwort and Alfalfa. The Blue Cohosh is an oxytocic herb, helping the uterus to contract and clamp down, while the Yarrow is a power stypic herb (stops bleeding). Motherwort is well-known for being a reliable at helping to stop bleeding and as a uterine tonic, and the Alfalfa is very high in Vitamin K, the blood coagulating vitamin.
Suggestions for use:
Give 1-2 droppersful (squeezes) of the tincture immediately after the baby’s birth. Continue to give 1-2 droppersful every 5-15 minutes until bleeding stops.
