Cayenne actually makes my period pain worse and my bleeding heavier. I don't think this is a one size fits all kinda thing, be careful ladies.

1 teaspoon cayenne powder in a little amount of water saved my life!!! I had been having female bleeding during first part of covid for about a month I had woke up one morning feeling faint like I just might pass away. I said to myself I really want to be here for my 3 grown children then Dr John Christopher's remedy for bleeding came into my head . He said any bleeding, internal or external, will cease with taking cayenne and also stop a heart attack within seconds after getting it in your mouth!!! It WORKED!!! Thank you Dr Christopher!!!

I know the feeling days where I just wanted to give up on life, cayenne definitely works. I have fibroids and I'm so thankful they have not been causing chaos this year. I use cayenne, blackstrap molasses and Apple Cider Vinegar for the bleeding. Molasses helps the most. I've been taking chlorophyll with coconut water also. I'm so grateful I did not have to go the hospital this year.

Wow!! I needed a shot that was $700 (I had no insurance at the time) but I found it at a Canadian pharmacy and I had to have my Dr fax the prescription to them. It was $176 with shipping. The effects of the medication was not immediate. I bled for 8 mo. I ended up needing 2 IV Iron infusions before I could even have surgery. I really wish I had known about this!

I had a crazy experience, I put one teaspoon of cayenne in water and 2 minutes after taking it, my whole system was disrupted, I started vomiting, my stomach hurt so badly that I had to be rushed to the hospital.

@Ojua.. Put cayenne pepper in milk. The milk takes the heat out of it. Drink thru a straw because it settles to the bottom.

WORKED TEMPORARILY
My legal opinion is that progestin-only pills should be available over the counter. I mean, come on, USA, the "morning after" pill is starting to be offered "behind" the counter.
I found that extremely high doses of Cayenne Pepper (160,000HU) worked a little bit at lightening the flow but at that heat level it's a little hard to keep down. If I put it into empty capsules and try to take it that way, it won't work as well, I don't think. That also works on high blood pressure, like I said, if I can get and keep it down. Last night I tried a spoonful of it right in my mouth and I almost vomited it back up, but I managed to keep some of it down; I have to because of my blood pressure and the fact that I don't want to flood and clot up someone else's sheets and floor. Yeah, I need a Hysterectomy. But I'm thousands of miles away from where it's COVERED and that's what it's all about, folks, here in the US of A. Money. Being able to pay for medical care.
Penny: The BSM has many positive reports here on E.C. and you too should be the next one in this category.
Next, get the hypertension down with effective natural remedies. https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/high-blood-pressure-treatment.html
Next, read the book Your Hormoneus Life: Learn The Secrets of Progesterone by Calvin Ross D.C., and you can purchase this natural occurring hormone made mostly from Wild Yam and find a therapeutic dose for yourself without the side effects of synthetic estrogen drugs.

Have you considered a cayenne pepper tincture AKA an extract? It's much easier to take than the powder & in my opinion more effective. I make my own by allowing a mason jar (any size) 1/2 full of cayenne pepper powder, then filled with 80 proof vodka to sit (lid on of course) in my dark pantry for 6 weeks. Then, I add some of the extract liquid to a dark colored dropper bottle. I add a about 8-10 drops into a small (more water = more time you endure heat) of water & I drink it. Not on an empty stomach preferably. No unpleasant effect on my stomach like with the capsules (ugh). I start using on day 2 of my cycle. I'll take the dose above every few hours & I see pretty fast results. I admit that I also use Shepherd's Purse (in tincture/extract form also) & I'm 44 but cayenne lowers BP so I think it balances. I use the cayenne tincture throughout the month for cardiovascular health so I'm using that more frequently than the SP. if the SP was having an estrogen in effect on me, I'd imagine my cycle should be getting heavier over the months & it is simply not. Then again, I'm only using SP a few times a day on 1-2 days a month. I'm also going to now add BSM to my regimen.

Dear Jennysmom2,
It seems unlikely that the cayenne would cause the bleeding you are experiencing. Perhaps if you were taking a very large amount, but 3 capsules is less than a teaspoon. I take the amount you are talking about to stop bleeding. It seems like I have seen a report or two on this site of ACV increasing flow (or causing periods to come closer together.) It could be a matter of "too much of a good thing, " in that case.
I have used Liquid Chlorophyll to decrease bleeding - a tablespoon every hour for heavy bleeding. (May turn the stool dark.)
Do you possibly have fibroids? You have tried so many things and have improved your symptoms some, but heavy cycles that are only 21 days apart is a lot on your body, not to mention a pain!
I wonder if, when you get your current acute sickness dealt with, if castor oil packs over the pelvic area 4 evenings a week for 4 weeks would improve the situation. (Never use when you have a period, though.)
Or there is Dr. Shultze's Ladies Formula. It might be helpful to bring further improvement to your situation. It is expensive, but if you tried it and it helped you, you could make your own. It is not hard to do. I have done so and found it helpful.
I hope you feel better all around soon!

Thank you Mama to Many for your reply. Now that I step back from the situation, I do believe it was the apple cider vinegar; I did have the same situation before, now that I think about it. I went ahead and ordered the Female formula. I have been taking it for about 15 days. My period came again, after 21 days...so no change there yet, but this time, it is still heavy, but not nearly as bad as last time. I have done castor oil packs in the past, and they did lighten the flow. They are messy, though. I guess I will just have to keep at it. Cayenne does lighten the flow for me, but I just need to keep working to find the root of the problem. Thank you again for your help......

Dear Jennysmom2,
Here is how to make the Female Formula.
Mix together the following herbs in the amounts explained.
1 part Dong Quai Root (Angelica)
1 part Chaste Tree Berries (Vitex)
1 part Wild Yam Root
1 part of the following mix - (3 parts Damiana leaf, 1 part Hops Flowers, 1 part Licorice root)
Take 2 ounces of the dried herb and put into a mason jar. Pour 16 ounces (2 cups) 100 Proof Vodka (50% aqueous-alcohol solution) over the herbs. Put the lid on the jar. Leave on your counter where you will notice it. Shake twice a day. After two weeks (up to six weeks), strain through a clean piece of muslin or t-shirt fabric or coffee filter. Store in a cool dark place.
When I made this tincture, I skipped the Hops Flowers and Licorice root because I didn't have them on hand and there was not a lot in the mixture. So I just used equal parts of Dong Quai Root, Chaste Tree Berries, Wild Yam Root and Damiana Leaf.
I usually get my herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs. You can just get 1/4 pound of each. Between that and the vodka, the up front cost seems like a lot. But you will be able to make oodles of this tincture. The tincture will last a couple of years. So you could make a lot of this stuff up at once and not worry about it for a while.
Let me know if something isn't clear. Hope this works well for you. I am so happy to hear of your improvement.

Dear Ify,
I have found Shepherd's Purse tincture to work well for bleeding. I take a dropperful in an ounce or two of water and repeat the dose after a few hours if need be.

Over the years I have tried tranhexamic acid, mefanamic acid, mirena coil, norethisterone, bcp, and the bleeding had just got worse. Flooding at night and day and not being able to leave the house. My last hospital visit I was told again that hysterectomy is the only choice now. But I have been experimenting with some natural methods. I tried yarrow and shepherd's purse. Some mild improvements but when day 2 of the period came - flooding again.
I came on Earth Clinic and decided to to try black strap molasses and apple cider vinegar. I took them every day for a whole month (both organic and good brands) and then the period came. I was so hopeful but they did not work for me.
Then I saw the cayenne thing. It was worth a try. I just used the tub of cayenne I had in my kitchen cupboard. I took a teaspoon dissolved in warm water with some honey and drank it. OMG - the change was DRAMATIC. Last night I did not need to change my protection in the night - when usually I would change it 3 or 4 times. Today I went out and bought some more cayenne. This is a miracle for me. I am taking it every four hours. I have read up on the internet some articles say that it is a vasodilator - opens up the arteries to allow blood flow - which is kind of not what you would think you want. But other articles say it just 'balances' the blood flow in different parts of the body. This site is so great because it shows what has worked for different people. For some it's ACV and BSM but for me it's cayenne. Unbelievable. My whole world has changed. Thank you everyone on Earth Clinic

Dear Rashal,
It sounds like Cat was taking 1 cayenne pepper capsule per day. This would be bought at a health food store. It would not be essential oil. Some use grocery store cayenne pepper with success, but it isn't as strong and sometimes has fillers. (It is the ground powder.)
I buy my cayenne pepper powder from health food stores or in bulk online and make my own capsules, or just add 1/4 teaspoon to some juice. (1/4 teaspoon is about 1 capsule worth.) It is spicier to take it in juice, but I think better that way.

Another remedy that I use is cayenne tea- just put a tea bag of your favorite tea in boiling water, and add a capsule of cayenne & some honey. Since I have been using cayenne in tea, and orally, and drinking the onion ginger garlic tincture, I rarely get sick.. and when I do, I can kick it within 3 days maximum. Cayenne is also extremely helpful for menstrual cramps.
