Who loves periods? I don’t! To be honest I don’t know too many people who smile when they do. It’s usually a grunt or an agonizing pain look on their face or maybe I am just talking about me. I can’t stand them but I got to live with them. I prefer not to grab the nearest painkiller as much as sometimes I need it. Why because there are other ways to get the same relief done naturally.
Tea
Are you a tea person? For me, I only love tea during this time and one tea in particular. If you are a lover of tea you are going to love Chaste Berry tea or Chamomile tea. It helps relieve the pain of your cramps. Honestly, it doesn’t taste great and it shouldn’t. Most things that are good for us does not taste like candy however it is the benefits it doesn’t for the body that is worth every gulp.
Here are what it helps you will:
- Relieves Pain & Cramps
- Reduces PMS symptoms
- Reduces Bloating
- Reduces Depression
- Reduces Irritability
- May Help Regulate the Menstrual Cycle
Essential oils
My back does not love me the same when its that time of the month. Particularly my lower back kills the most. I love using Young Living’s PanAway essential oil mixed with coconut oil and apply it on my back. It is my go-to whenever my body is in pain especially my back. I even have some in my work purse for those long days at the desk. The lavender essential oil is fantastic for both putting onto your body and for inhaling through the diffuser. Very calming and relaxing. Be sure to dilute it with a carrier oil such as coconut oil.
Other essential oils that help with cramps & pain:
- Lavender
- Cinnamon
- Eucalyptus
- Chamomile
- Rose
- Ylang-Ylang
