Phytotherapy to menstruate without cramps
The period, the period, “Andrés”, menstruation, whatever you want to call it, is the terror of many and the worst enemy of others. Because? It's not a secret, a lot of discomfort and/or pain usually comes these days. It makes us want to stay in bed all day, eat a little bit of everything and not to mention our emotional changes. But do not worry! I bring you the best tips so that you can make these days of the month a little calmer.
For Laura, the arrival continues to hurt the departure. He did not have the same luck as Andre, who only needed a visit to the doctor and a fairly easy-to-obtain prescription book to avoid suffering more cramps. But what happened? They go to the same specialist! And this becomes interesting if it is also happening to you that right in this era, which in addition to being of knowledge, is also that of self-care and total responsibility. You already realized that a little pain before or during the first days of the period can be considered normal, and this is apparently influenced by the excess of hormone-like compounds called prostaglandins.
But, it is not normal and unfortunately it has become chronically naturalized when cramps have led to medical disability and even worse, when it is the woman herself who recognizes her painful menstrual period as normal.
Before continuing with Lau's unknown situation, we must know that menstrual cramps can be “primary” or “secondary.” When we tune into Western medicine, the clinical term is primary dysmenorrhea to generally refer to severe, frequent pain and spasms in the lower abdomen that appear between 24 and 48 hours before the start of the period and disappears little by little. little at the end of the first day. It is caused by the period.
In the case of secondary dysmenorrhea, it usually manifests itself with painful, acute, tremendously unbearable periods, starting a week before menstruation and can last throughout the period. This pain, unlike the previous one, usually has another cause, for example, it can warn us of the existence of uterine fibroids, endometriosis, among other disorders.
The above, somewhat bricky or inflexible, turns out to be supremely important and vital: having an accurate diagnosis. You will understand later. It may be the key to healing, you'll see!
Now, to Lau's situation, let's add the case of Marce, a friend of hers, who suffered from cramps and other symptoms for more than a year. He couldn't take it anymore. After going to the doctor she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. The landscape begins to clear up when each of them decides to approach the problem from alternatives other than those already explored, and they met with precise answers, which shook and with it, a strong current generated by a one hundred and eighty degree turn .
Although it sounds as simple as writing thirty characters, it was nothing like that. Nothing. On the contrary, the lives of our friends went through a breakup of a relationship, a change in work environment, knowing the family's menstrual memory, delving into self-knowledge of their body, not that of their friends.
Some of those new tools they went through:
- They went to therapists in biodecoding, Ayurveda and family constellations. They understood that for his situation the causes that caused his cramps were not only physical, they were also emotional. Arriving with accurate diagnoses made their improvement process faster. Being willing to make changes also helped.
- They changed their eating routine, stopped eating what was fashionable and included delicious dishes and others that were not so much, although very powerful and key to strengthening their well-being.
- They abandoned birth control pills.
- One of them is about to attend an Akashic records appointment, perhaps it is Andre. The medical prescription mentioned at the beginning no longer works for her and since she is a Scorpio, she is now determined to resolve an energy burden inherited from her ancestors. If it doesn't work for you, maybe schedule a TCM therapist to find out what's going on with your yin or yang.
- They became friends with the moon, as it turned out to be an excellent guide in bringing back stable menstrual periods.
- Lau has a notebook to record how her periods evolve. Andre and Marce are more digital, so they downloaded an app that they feed all the time.
- Walking, dancing, exercising and yoga were essential for them!
