HEBAL REMEDY FOR MENSTRUAL IRREGULARITIES (ALASE) BY BABALAWO OBANIFA-Obanifa extreme documentaries  

 In this current work ,Babalawo Obanifa will document one of the potent herbal remedy for the treatment of menstrual irregularities in woman. The term for the herbal formula for this purpose in Yoruba herbal medicine is known as Alase. For most women, a normal menstrual cycle ranges from 21 to 35 days.¹ However, 14% to 25% of women have irregular menstrual cycles, meaning the cycles are shorter or longer than normal; are heavier or lighter than normal; or are experienced with other problems, like abdominal cramps.² Irregular cycles can be ovulatory, meaning that ovulation occurs, or anovulatory, meaning ovulation does not occur.

The most common menstrual irregularities include:

• Amenorrhea (pronounced ey-men-uh-REE-uh) or absent menstrual periods:^3,4,5,6 When a woman does not get her period by age 16, or when she stops getting her period for at least 3 months and is not pregnant.
• Oligomenorrhea (pronounced ol-i-goh-men-uh-REE-uh) or infrequent menstrual periods: Periods that occur more than 35 days apart.⁴

• Menorrhagia (pronounced men-uh-REY-jee-uh) or heavy menstrual periods:^3,4,7 Also called excessive bleeding. Although anovulatory bleeding and menorrhagia are sometimes grouped together, they do not have the same cause and require different diagnostic testing.⁷
• Prolonged menstrual bleeding: Bleeding that exceeds 8 days in duration on a regular basis.⁴
• Dysmenorrhea (pronounced dis-men-uh-REE-uh): Painful periods that may include severe menstrual cramps.⁸

Additional menstrual irregularities include:

• Polymenorrhea (pronounced pol-ee-men-uh-REE-uh): Frequent menstrual periods occurring less than 21 days apart⁴
• Irregular menstrual periods with a cycle-to-cycle variation of more than 20 days⁴
• Shortened menstrual bleeding of less than 2 days in duration⁴
• Intermenstrual bleeding: Episodes of bleeding that occur between periods, also known as spotting⁴
