Natural Remedies for Irregular Menses

Irregular menses are mainly caused by stress, anxiety and ingested medications. These factors tend to interfere with the functions of corpus luteum and act as anticoagulants that are responsible for thinning blood. Caffeine is another major cause that contributes to irregular menses by disrupting the functions of corpus luteum.



Other factors contributing to irregular menses are smoking and alcohol. Smoking often tends to reduce the follicular phase and at times even shorten the luteal phase. Ingestion of alcohol whether acute or excessive, hampers the normal menstrual cycle.


This activity often results in shorter cycles and causes a delay in menses. It is believed that alcohol disrupts the functions of liver and results in impaired metabolization of estrogen and progesterone. So, please avoid alcohol, smoking and caffeine to have normal menstrual cycle.

Other remedies for menstrual problems are as follow:

  • Parsley is an excellent cure for irregular menses. This herb contains apiol, an essential component of female sex hormone. This component is believed to help in the regularization of menstrual cycle.
  • Ginger is another effective remedy for irregular menses.
  • You can also try ingesting black gram. This is also very useful for treating irregular menses. Black gram can be consumed in any form or with any dish.
  • Coriander seeds can also be beneficial for regularization of menses.
  • Indian Barbary and hemp are also useful for irregular menses.
