The Ancient Remedy Might Be The Secret To Eliminating Cramps & Other Period Problems

Last but not least, TCM recognizes that emotions can make periods worse. Emotions like trapped resentment, anger, and frustration may lead to an increase in painful periods. No matter what health condition you're tackling, I believe emotional health directly correlates with your physical health! So don't ignore if you're a "hot head," "easily angered," or constantly "offended" throughout the month. Consider adding in meditation, counseling, life coaching (so you can process your emotions with a trusted source), EMDR, or even just the simple daily task of journaling. The healthier you become at processing your feelings and taking care of yourself emotionally, the less burden you place on your body to store all of the "feelings" or "energy."

Following these Eastern principles can help lessen cramping and help balance your overall health, as can understanding more about your power type. Just like a blood type, hormone type, or body type, I've discovered after seeing thousands of patients that most women tend to fall into distinct power types. Understanding yours might not only help balance hormones and ease period problems, but it may also help create a formula for you to follow to achieve optimal health.
