Menstrual pain and cold

Combatting menstrual pain? Avoid cold!💃🏻

One of the most common causes and/or negative factors that aggravate menstrual pain is cold and by that we mean cold inside and outside the body. ❄️🌊

According to TCM, your period should be smooth and cause just a slight discomfort. Seriously, there is no “need” for menstrual pain!☯️🤔

So, how can you avoid or at least reduce cramps during your period? The simplest and most effective approach is to prioritize warm foods and overall warmth. 🔥

I know, PMS cravings can often seem unbeatable but if you avoid ice creams, yogurts, and other cold food before and during your period, your body will appreciate it.🫖

Additionally, try to avoid going barefoot, leaving your ankles exposed, or having an uncovered belly or lower back. And above all, avoid bathing in cold water (surfing included😢🏄🏻‍♀️) at least the first 2 days of your period. ⚠️ According to TCM, during menstruation it is especially easy for the cold to get inside of the uterus and cause pain.❄️😖❄️

Menstrual pain can come from various causes, each requiring specific treatment. However, by focusing on warmth and minimizing the influence of cold, you can take a significant step towards your menstrual comfort and overall health.
