Too many women’s periods are greeted with frustration (I understand those who want to get pregnant, but that’s a different story) and in pain. Menstruation should be like you don t have it, and at one point a woman should worship her. Because menstruation is what we clean, and that’s why we live longer than :). Did you know that a woman has an average of 450-500 menstrual cycles in her life?

The normal menstrual cycle lasts between 24 and 35 days, on average 28 days.  Menstruation lasts from 3 to 7 days, with the woman expected to lose between 30 and 50 ml of blood.

Normal menstrual blood is supposed to be beautiful red, not too dark, not too bright, without pieces of blood and without a specific odor.

Before and during menstruation there should be no specific symptoms such as changes in behaviour, painful breasts, bloating, headaches or even migraines, desire for sweetness, rise in acne…

If your periods deviate from these criteria, then your body tells you that something needs to change.

Looking through the naturopathic eyes goes the menstrual cycle across all the major organs; kidneys, liver, heart, spleen and lungs.

Somewhere between the first and seventh days, so at the time of menstruation, it’s kidney time. During this time there is a cleaning, so the most appropriate time to rest is a view of you. It is recommended to drink hot drinks (teas such as rman tea, raspberry leaf tea), eating hot food and eating kidney-enhancing foods (beans, chestnuts, blueberries…).

What does the color of menstrual blood tell us?

• If the blood is too bright (rosemate), it means that it is very likely an iron deficiency. Therefore, I advise all women who are subjected to iron deficiency to get an allowance during their period. Otherwise, it would take less care with the diet. It may be kidney weakness because red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, but it can be a weakness of the spleen because it cannot convert the iron we ingest into the hemoglobin that the body needs. 
• If the blood is dark (and if it also has an unpleasant smell) it means that toxins are present in the body, it is necessary to strengthen the liver. I advise withdrawing all processed foods, dairy products, pork and eating as many green vegetables as possible.
• If there are cuts in the blood, it’s a weakness of the spleen. Foods that host blood should be removed from the diet. Like flour and flour products.
• If the blood is slimy, it means that mucus is present in the body. From the diet it is necessary to eliminate things that slime. The most slime processed dairy products and flour. Helps Schussler or tissue salt Kalium Chloratum.

If menstruation occurs too early it is necessary to check that there may be too much fever (heart) in the body, and if the cold (kidney) is present if it is delayed.

If spasms are present, the body also talks about excess cold. In addition to heating (with a heating bag), it also helps vitamin B6 and magnesium. The same applies if low back pain is present.

If menstruation is very strong some women gynecologists prescribe birth control pills, which in turn have many side effects. With the help of naturopathy, it is very nice to strengthen the body and consequently also help with this problem. Among other things, the addition of the oligoelement manganese helps.

The next phase is liver time. This period lasts somewhere from 7 days to ovulation, i.e. up to about 13 days. This period represents a time of growth. If there is enough blood (iron) left over the course of your period, we have the most energy during this period. We are more confident, optimistic and ready for new challenges. This time is suitable for more intense exercise. In the meantime, it is appropriate to eat a lot of green vegetables and especially morning fruits to support the liver.

Then comes the time of ovulation, the time of the heart. Body temperature rises, energy’s on the rise. In the meantime, the most attractive 🙂 are ready to make love. I advise a lot of red food that strengthens the heart. Berry, pomegranate, beetroot…

After ovulation, the spleen time occurs first and then the lungs. At this stage, if we are in an imbalance, there is an increased desire for sweet. Here it helps the addition of zinc-copper oligoelement or zinc-nickel-cobalt or chromium. Some women suffer headaches. Some women get acne, there may be changes in well-being (sadness, anger, nervousness…). The lungs and colon (suborganic from the lungs) are linked to the immune system and if the body is not sufficiently supported (it does not have enough nutrients) the immune system weakens and often women get sick just in time. Some women also accelerated the stool before menstruation. This, too, has to do with the lungs and the colon.
