My Period Remedy Roundup

For years I suffered from painful periods and cramping. My cramps were so excruciating that I ended up being prescribed birth control pills when I was 14 years old. After diving deeper into women’s hormone health (thanks to The Woman Code by Alisa Vitti), I learned that birth control can actually be mask a potential imbalance in the system. Because of this, a lot of women, while trying to conceive, are left clueless as to why they’re fertility is not working “with” them. After learning this, I immediately got off of birth control.

It took months to get my period back naturally but eventually, I did. Unfortunately, the horrible cramping I suffered from years ago also came back. It was important to find solutions to my period trauma, but they must be natural. Here are my solutions:

Indian Meadows Wild Yam Cream: Wild yam is a natural progesterone which is a hormone that helps encourage a period every month

Nature’s Way Activated Charcoal: Helps cut through gas buildup in the body due to contractions in the system

Castor Oil Packs: Assists with blood flow and alleviates cramping with the use of a heating pad

Mix of Raspberry Leaf & Nettle Leaf Teas: A one-two punch that regulates the hormones, reduces inflammation, & pain from cramping
