My period routine to reduce cramps & boost energy✨
Something that’s not normal, but is so common is period pain!
Period pain is a sign of hormonal imbalances which I know I have with PCOS, estrogen dominance, & low progesterone. My periods can be pretty painful, but luckily there are holistic things I can do to ease the pain.
Changing my lifestyle has been the biggest help! What we do, eat, how much we sleep & exercise affects our period. The weeks before our period determine what our period will be like!
Once I get my period I try to focus on reducing period cramps with tea, wake easily digestible meals, gentle movement, & anti inflammatory food!
I try to eat high protein like ground beef, chicken, & salmon. I also try to eat warm foods like soup, porridge, cooked veggies, & broth!
I’ll also drink nettle & raspberry leaf tea which naturally reduce cramps. I use topical creams for pain & a heating pad if my cramps get bad.
I try to honor my body with gentle movement & rest!!🫶🏻
Doing these things has helped my periods in the recent months! I’ll still have cramps & pain but way better than before!✨
Hope this helps xx

Period pain can significantly impact daily life, but there are holistic practices that can provide relief. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods such as salmon, leafy greens, and nuts can help reduce discomfort. Herbal teas like raspberry leaf and nettle are known for their cramp-relieving properties. Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet rich in protein can energize the body and counteract fatigue. Gentle movement, like a 15-20 minute walk, can improve circulation and help ease cramps. Many find that using a heating pad or topical creams offers immediate pain relief. It's essential to listen to your body and prioritize rest during your period. By making these lifestyle changes, you may find your symptoms improve significantly, leading to a more manageable menstruation experience.
