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