I am writing to you from Italy....I suffer from HHT - osler weber rendu - a genetic disease that causes internal bleeding. My grandmother, who sufffers from the same illness is having gastrointestinal bleeding (severe) with black stools.
She constantly undergoes blood transfusions and iron supplements. I would like to help her with some teas to at least stop the bleeding she is undergoing now.
I was thinking of Achillea (she is taking one a day) but I think that isn't enough. Her stools stopped being black the first three days and now they are black again. What dosage should she take? If you think Achillea is ok?
I can't confuse her too much, she is far away and doesn't have anyone to help her. I sort of feel lost today so I thought I would write and ask for help...
Regular herbal infusions of comfrey leaf and nettles leaf would be very healing and nourishing. The comfrey will heal the intestines, and the nettles will slow the bleeding. You may need to order the herbs mail order overseas, but if they resolve your problem they will be well worth the expense, you will want to order the herbs in bulk, by the pound. Here is an article on how to make infusions, you will find two banners on this page, Mountain Rose Herbs is an excellent source of bulk herbs http://www.susunweed.com/How_to_make_Infusions.htm
Here is a video of how to make Comfrey Leaf infusion
