It is a sign that something is not quite right, basically the blood is old and stale hence dark brown. Normally the blood should be rich red and brown granular blood with chopped-liver-like clots implies poor nutrient uptake. The nutrients used to improve periods include iron EAP2, vitamin B6, B-complex vitamins, magnesium, chromium, vitamins C and E, and evening primrose and fish oils. To get these levels correct you need to see a good nutritionist who understands the female reproductive system.

If the blood appears black in color that just means that it's old blood that was never released.

Have her see her ob-gyn. While there are many causes of dark blood, an expert's opinion is the most comforting.

Yeah when it appears black it's just old. If it doesn't appear normal in a day or so I'd call the doc.
