Firstly it's important to point out that herbal treatments for delayed menstruation only work if your period is actually due - most women determine when their period is due based on their average menstrual cycle length figured out from past cycles, but a little variation from that average menstrual cycle length is normal, and cycles can change.

Secondly it's also important to point out that the herbs used to induce menstruation work by starving the uterus of progesterone to cause uterus lining to break-down, relax the cervix, and/or cause uterine contractions. If there is ANY chance of pregnancy using these herbal methods may induce miscarriage, or there is also a risk of birth defects.

Parsley is the most common herb used to induce menstruation - this herb works by stimulating the uterus to contract, it's best used along with another herb or method such as Vitamin C (starves the uterus of progesterone to trigger uterus lining break-down). Parsley can be used either within a tea or inserted into the vagina.

As a tea it's best to make a brew using fresh chopped parsley, simmered rather than boiled so the volatile oils are not lost - dried teabags do work, but aren't as effective - add honey to taste as it can be quite bitter, and drink hourly. Inserted into the vagina it's best to use organic parsley and clean well before use, use a couple of sprigs and insert as high as possible within the vaginal canal, change it every 4 hours.

Parsley is the best herb to use because it poses so few risks - although don't use if you have kidney problems - if you are not well educated about herbal use it's best not to try other methods, and really if used correctly parsley is sufficient.

Some other [safe] herbs that can be used include;

  • Ginger
  • Yarrow
  • Sage
  • Rosemary
  • Feverfew
There are other herbs that can be used, but given their use for abortion and potential health risks it's not a great idea for these to be listed here. The above herbs are more than enough to help with delayed menstruation.
