A member asked:
Does eating lemons stop or slow your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Based on anecdotal : Stories of women online, eating lemons did indeed shorten the menstrual period and lighten up the bleeding and menstrual cramps. I don't know the mechanism behind it but my theory is that vitamin c in lemon may perhaps contribute to strengthening of capillary wall and promote clotting.
