THE NATURAL WAY TO RELIEVE THE PAINFUL RULES
In my move towards a more natural life, a few years ago I began to question the products I used on my body by analyzing their composition. I also paid attention to what I ate and decided to eat healthier (and animal-free) while being a student, which does not always look easy, but that ultimately flows naturally .The last step that I crossed in my adventures in the natural, it is the health! Gone are the medicine boxes that are piling up in the cupboards and at the bottom of the handbags, finished taking a 1000 doliprane because I have a little headache, finished the incessant round trips to the doctor with every little cough I decided to take care of myself a maximum by the natural! I say a maximum, because I'm not a bully bulb, when I have a significant health problem, I run to the doctor. I want to question here the ease we have to turn to drugs for every little bump of everyday life, while there are natural remedies safe for our body, unlike some treatments.
So far I have found many alternatives to sore throat, back, fever and all that follows, but there remained a black spot: the period of the rules . You know, this morning you wake up with a stomachache - light or awful - where you say "go away, go" and where you take a stamp by pure reflex to face the day to come !
Moreover, these stamps there you will never run after: there is always a box at the bottom of your bag, in the empty pocket at the entrance of the apartment and especially tons in stock in the medicine cabinet - in case there is a worldwide shortage, an apocalypse or a zombie attack in the next 20 years.
So I too was like that, it was my little reflex my three pills Antadys a day to relieve the pain of my period! ( I want to clarify that for me the pill is obviously not an imaginable solution to calm these pains, since it is full of hormones, it disrupts the natural functioning of the body and we have no recoil yet about its consequences on our health )
One day, I read an article that talked about Antadys , that a regular intake of this medicine could have an impact on the fertilityed. It made me think a little. Then I had my period again and I jumped on my blue stamp as usual! After I thought I could just go to Doliprane, maybe it would work and then it's less dangerous.
I also had the phase where I simply tried to accept the suffering, because after all the rules are a natural phenomenon and you have to know how to live with this just natural pain ... But I'm not an over- woman and when the pains were too powerful, I found myself not being able to move from my couch of the day.
My trigger: recently, a girlfriend of mine asked me for natural remedies to relieve his painful rules and I did not know what to answer. There I said to myself "shit are you Bioté Naturelle and you can not even give such vital advice to your girlfriends?!"; so I decided to fix it by asking you your little tips on Instagram and inform me well on the web.
I tested, tested and tested several natural remedies for painful menstruation and premenstrual pain - it was a long time, the rules are that once a month I'll call you hahaha - and I'm more than happy to share the 4 most effective remedies (in my opinion) to relieve the pain, cramps and other joys of menstruation!
1. AN OIL TO RELIEVE THE PAIN OF MENSTRUATION
The best remedy for menstrual pain that I have tested is the homemade massage oil! Two ingredients, no more, with unique properties that really help relieve the bidou during menses.My recipe for oil special painful rules:
- 30ml vegetable oil of hemp
- 35 drops of tarragon essential oil
- In a bottle (preferably amber), I pour the vegetable oil of hemp then I add the 35 drops of essential oil of tarragon, and it is ready (yes already)! You can apply it two to three times a day on the lower belly massaging for a few minutes.
I chose hemp oil for its very penetrating side on the skin. Indeed, it is one of the vegetable oils to favor for massage oils. But most of all, I use it for its destressing properties - because it is needed during menstruation - and for its benefits ( not always officially recognized ) against menstrual pain . It is also very moisturizing, enough to have a sweet belly!
It can be replaced or supplemented with vegetable oil of borage , another ally against the pain of the rules thanks to its action on the hormonal system .
The essential oil of tarragon has a powerful antispasmodic power , that is to say, it can overcome alone premenstrual pains and painful periods. I use it alone in this massage oil, but it can be supplemented with essential oils of basil and clary sage , one antispasmodic and the other being estrogen-like , which regulates menstrual cycles.
As usual, be very careful with the use of essential oils: these are not recommended during the first 3 months of pregnancy ( yes, it is an article on the rules, it is not very logical, but I prefer to prevent haha), they must not be used in a pure form, they must be diluted to a maximum of 20% in a vegetable oil and tested on a corner of the skin before use. Clary sage essential oil is also not recommended for women with endometriosis and those who have had hormone-dependent cancer or a family history of this type.
I gave you a recipe that thunders on me and my menstrual pains. But we are all different, so that's why I found it important to share other oils that can help you during your period. It's up to you to mix, test and make your own 100% personalized massage oil (the only rule being to respect the proportions above).
2. RASPBERRY INFUSION AGAINST THE PAINFUL RULES
Another effective remedy against the painful rules is the raspberry infusion . I honestly never believed that one day I could replace the small blue pills - I'm not talking about viagra but Antadys eh - by a simple infusion of leaves. And yet!The raspberry leaf is the ally of women, if you did not know it ladies! It has many medicinal properties that will make it your best friend throughout your cycle: during your puberty, your pregnancy, after childbirth or even after menopause, its benefits are many! Raspberry leaves are extremely effective in the case of painful periods thanks to their antispasmodic power . They reduce cramps, regulate the menstrual cycle and abundant menstruation. If you have not figured it out yet, this is THE plant to have in her herbal tea box.
To relieve the pain of periods, I infuse two teaspoons of raspberry leaves in boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes when I feel the first pain and every day of my period. I drink this infusion twice a day: in the morning at sunrise on an empty stomach and after dinner. The effects of infusion in the morning on an empty stomach are just breathtaking! Not a single cramp until the end of the day at the beginning of my period, it is a miracle. I tried several niches of the day to drink this infusion - I really guinea pig for 3 months - and those of the morning and evening are the most effective against pain.
3. HOT WATER BOTTLE, A REMEDY FOR GRANDMOTHER
The essential before and during the menses: the hot water bottle . So yes, you're going to tell yourself that it's old-fashioned, that it's crazy, that it's too hot for that, but it's still one of the most effective solutions for premenstrual belly pain!The ideal is the hot water bottle! Pour one liter of simmering water into the hot water bottle, hop on your bed or couch and put the hot water bottle on her stomach or on her lower back to relieve herself. The heat of the hot water bottle will relax the muscles and soothe the pain .
There is no more relaxing! The plus of the water bottle is that it keeps the heat for several hours. There is also the hot water bottle of cherries, rice or flax seeds! You can even realize it yourself. The only problem is that you have to warm it up in the microwave - I've been giving it up for a few months - and it only stays hot for about 20 minutes.
4. TIGER BALM FOR LOWER BACK PAIN
If like me, your menstrual pain is accompanied by a terrible backache, in addition to the hot water bottle, you can use a balm with essential oils or a red tiger balm to relieve you. Simply massage your lower back for a few minutes - so either you ask your darling to do it or you do it like a big one because you have no one to devote - and take advantage of its properties tonic, stimulating and relaxing. As we like to do things ourselves here, find my balm recipe natural balm tiger balm and make yours!
I would like to conclude this article on a positive note and a warning . The rules are a natural phenomenon girls. You never have to feel dirty or lose your self-confidence during this time of the month, since half of the planet has had or will have menstrual periods once a month. The rules are proof of your femininity and your power to create life (whether you use it or not ): be proud rather than taboo!
A warning about the very painful and very abundant rules: consult your gynecologist! Suffering in this way is not normal and can be a sign of endometriosis. Of course, we do not get alarmed and we do not crawl on doctissimo after these few lines just because we have trouble bidou 2 days before his period, but better to prevent and make an appointment with a professional. And then talk to your sisters, your girlfriends, your cousins or your neighbors if you are worried, they will share their experience with you and reassure you!
