3 natural remedies for painful periods
Before your period begins (and sometimes even during the first few days), you may experience significant emotional and/or physical discomfort related to hormonal fluctuations: pronounced fatigue, abdominal cramps, bloating, breast tenderness, irritability, migraines, acne flare-ups, and mood swings are among the most common symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS).
Hormones play a central role in the functioning of the female body and directly influence the menstrual cycle, fertility, energy levels, stress management, and emotional balance.
Having a hormonal assessment can make a real difference. The female hormonal balance test is designed for women of all ages, from menstruating women to menopausal women, who wish to better understand their hormonal functioning.
This test analyzes several key hormones: cortisol, involved in stress management; estradiol, the main female sex hormone; progesterone, essential for menstrual cycle balance; testosterone, linked to energy and libido; and DHEA-S, a reserve hormone that plays an important role in stress adaptation.
Analyzing these hormones provides a clear and comprehensive view of your hormonal balance and helps guide a personalized naturopathic approach.
In the meantime, to help ease anxiety, mood swings, and low mood, we recommend vetiver roots (as a decoction)
To help ease abdominal cramps, we recommend black tigernuts (as a decoction)
