Every 25, 28, 32 or sometimes 45 days, every woman of sexual age has her period. Women with a menstrual cycle are women who still produce estrogen-like hormones. These molecules allow, among other things, fertilization. For up to 40 years, the woman will have monthly bleeding to indicate that fertility has not occurred.
Relief for some, disappointment for others....
What are rules?
Vaginal loss? Blood? In fact, not only!
Menstruation is the breakdown of the uterine lining when ovulation has not occurred. The thickening of the lining of the uterus is a natural process. It prepares for fertilization of an egg (during the progesterone phase after ovulation), creating a cozy nest to house the fertilized egg.
Menstruation is therefore the detachment of endometrial cells.
A woman's body and menstruation
Each cycle is different! Menstruation is experienced distinctly from one woman to another. Some will experience increased flow, irregular periods, pain, tightness in the lower abdomen or back, fatigue, bloating, breast swelling, irritability and for some depression. Although dysmenorrhea(*) is normal, some women are exempt from it.
*Painful period dysmenorrhea.
To overcome this, manywomen have to take an anti-inflammatory drug (ibuprofen) to soothe stomach pain and frequent headaches.
Unfortunately, from the beginning of adolescence, to avoid these inconveniences related to the female cycle, some opt for thecontraceptive pill (or the Mirena type hormonal IUD) in continuous(without stopping for 7 days). The rulesthen disappear from their lives completely.
Some girls have barely experienced the sensation of menstruation. Sanitary napkins, tampax or menstrual cups are not part of their vocabulary.
Is this a solution?
Naturopathic menstruation
The woman has an additional emunctory compared to the man: her vagina. Indeed, the emunctory being a door of exit of our toxins, we quickly understand the importance of evacuating from the body waste, by the loss of blood.
To cut oneself off completely from the menstrual cycle of the woman by creating amenorrhea is to adopt a completely linear, so-called solar energy. Indeed, bleeding every month is like seeing the full moon appear in our sky every 28 days. Adopting hormone therapy eradicates our connection to the lunar cycle and our energetic potential as awoman.
In addition, the continuous pill has many counter indications. In addition, it imposes on the woman a body that does not really belong to her: weight gain, ovulation period difficult to define, water retention, skin problems, ...
Salve pain during menstruation.
To avoid heavy gynecological concerns during the discomfort of rules, adopting certain lifestyle rules can help:
When the witch phase (menstrual phase according to the archetypes of Miranda Gray) arrives, the body of the woman must be able to put itself at rest and to let go. Many changes occur inthe bodywhen the first signs of menstruation appear. Listening to her body and its needs should be a priority in the woman's daily life (as well as in her family planning): resting in warmth and cocooning.
Having a balanced diet during menstruation can reduce some pain. In fact, greens nourish the body and allow it to cope with discomfort as best it can. The elimination of sugary foods, alcohol and stimulants helps to stabilize both the physical body and the moods.
We often forget the premenstrual period, and yet!
After the ovulatory period, the period of fertility ends. This heralds the arrival of menstruation with the onset of premenstrual syndrome. From that moment on, each woman should be aware of her personal requirements. A lack of rest for the woman could worsen her pain during her period.
Finally, some antispasmodic herbs help fight thea pain, as does a hot water bottle on the lower abdomen.
The female body, menstruation and sexual relations.
Women can have sex during their period. They, alone, can decide how well it feels at that moment.
Dear women, take care of yourself!
