As you know, dietary supplements are accompanied by a lifestyle adapted to your needs. In addition to your Inher cure, you should hydrate your body with 2 liters of water per day during your Period, you should stretch and do small circular massages on your lower abdomen.
ESSENTIAL OILS
Essential oils are full of antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory virtues and are a complementary natural solution against your painful Period . So, we say YES to aromatherapy and we use a few drops of these oils to massage the lower abdomen. If you are afraid that the essential oils are too concentrated, dilute them with a little warm water or vegetable oil. And for a moment of absolute relaxation, we pour some drops in our bath!
We advise you the site Medene, where you can find wonderful compositions of essential oils. Moreover, their roll-on code red is a perfect blend to relieve Period.
SPORT
Gentle exercise is also a must. Despite the fact that sports are probably the last thing you want to do during your Period ; taking a good walk or swimming is very beneficial for the body during this period. At D+ for care, we love yoga during Period. Charlotte Muller explains on her website Fertility Yoga, the benefits of yoga and meditation on hormonal balance. Charlotte's activities help fight stress and relax the belly effectively.
SOPHROLOGY
Sophrology also helps to relax during this time of great strain on the body. This set of of relaxation techniques, breathing, muscle relaxation, gentle body movements and reflection soothes the body and mind. You can find out more about sophrology and its benefits on the great website and Instagram of Tiger Yoga.
COCOONING
Also remember to wear clothes that you feel GOOD in. Avoid those that are too tight and compress the stomach! We also abstain from consuming caffeine, an exciting drink that, during the Period, tends to increase stress and make us more nervous. Caffeine dehydrates and also slightly restricts blood flow, which can cause pain and increase tension and anxiety. Finally, we pamper ourselves and take care of ourselves! If needed, we place a source of gentle heat on our lower abdomen: a hot towel or a hot water bottle will do the trick!
A MINIMALIST MAKE-UP ROUTINE
From a beauty point of view, we recommend a small mask based on green clay on the T-zone which tends to be more oily during this period, and we avoid heavy or comedogenic make-up: don't forget, you are beautiful even during your Period !
