A menstruating woman is given a gift every month— her period. This gift allows physical and emotional detoxification. Unfortunately, instead of viewing this time of the month as a gift, it is seen as a chore and nuisance. This is probably due to the fact that most women also suffer from symptoms like migraines, nausea, body aches, cramps, and emotional imbalance. Those symptoms are common, but not normal. How can we view our periods as gifts? 〰️Physically: when the body is detoxing, you need to rest more, not go against the flow and do things like overwork, over exercise, go out and party, and even take on emotional burdens. Overexertion taxes the Liver, the organ responsible for the smooth flow of our energy (Qi), Blood, and emotions. So if don't rest adequately, you are more prone to a painful period and emotional imbalance. 〰️Eat foods that are warm and easily digestible. Keep the Stomach and feet warm. According to ancient Chinese medicine texts, it states "During a menstrual cycle, one should avoid spicy and fried foods as these food may cause heatiness" or emotional or physical reactions associated with temper and excess. 〰️Emotionally: meditate, practice self-care, express your emotions gracefully! Talk to someone, write in a journal. 〰️Herb wise: you can use herbs to support the body. 🩸BLOOD FLOW TEA helps improve blood circulation in the reproductive area to help alleviate Blood stagnation and stasis all over the body especially in the uterus, ovaries or anywhere in the reproductive system.
