If your period has ever knocked you out of work, had you curled up with a heating pad, or reaching for pain meds like candy you’ve probably been told, “that’s just being a woman.” But here’s the truth: period pain is common, but it’s not normal. Your body is waving a red flag that something deeper is off balance.
Why We Normalize Pain
Many women are dismissed by doctors, handed birth control, or told to just “deal with it.” That dismissal leaves so many of us thinking pain is a life sentence.
The Red Flag of Pain
Pain is your body’s way of speaking up. It’s not punishment—it’s communication. Whether it’s heavy flow, clotting, or cramps that stop you in your tracks, your period is giving you clues.
- 4 Common Root Causes
- Estrogen dominance (too much estrogen compared to progesterone)
- Low progesterone (not enough to balance out estrogen)
- Inflammation (from diet, stress, or gut health issues)
- Poor liver detox (your body struggles to clear excess hormones)
Band-Aids vs. Root Cause Healing
Painkillers and birth control can mask the symptoms, but they don’t fix the problem. A naturopathic, root-cause approach looks at your whole picture hormones, diet, stress, and lifestyle.
- Small Wins You Can Try Now
- Add magnesium-rich foods (spinach, pumpkin seeds) or Magnesium supplement
- Try anti-inflammatory teas like ginger or chamomile
- Gentle movement like yoga or walking to ease cramps
