How to Heal Difficult Periods: Treat the Root Cause // "Treating the cause, not the symptom" is the bedrock of naturopathic medicine. Instead of asking, "what drug or medication do we use?" we ask, "what caused these symptoms in the first place?". Causes are few and symptoms many.
In my experience, the menstrual cycle is a faithful barometer of your overall health. Taking a root-cause approach to cycle challenges is an elegant way to take care of your cycle health and catalyse profound shifts and lasting change.
The five root causes are:
☽ Chronic stress ☽ Gut imbalances ☽ Food triggers and nutrient insufficiencies ☽ Detoxification ☽ Immunity and inflammation
Remember, it takes 100 days for a follicle in the ovary to mature into an egg, ready to be ovulated. So cycle healing is a long game!
Thinking about healing our body in seasonal time (a.k.a three-month chunks) instead of short-term thinking is how we can get ourselves aligned to the mindset needed to re-correct hormonal imbalances.
