The menstrual cycle, borage and movement

Let's go with the Moon. Let's try to go there literally and not in the metaphorical sense that we are "saddled" (or we are the first to wear it) that is closer to restlessness than to adherence to a natural cycle.

However, in the days preceding the cycle, the feeling of tension, swelling and irritability is really concrete. Borage oil can help us with menstrual pain and more. And the movement is always one of the most valuable allies.

It is enough to avoid an inconvenient and counterproductive error: suspend the regular existence and absent ourselves from the activities in those days.

Let us remain vital, because the cycle is there to remind us of what a beautiful mechanism we are a part of. Also said: life.

Premenstrual syndrome and psyche

A disappointing affective life in naturopathy can be linked to poor menstruation, just as a blocked or delayed menstruation can express refusal to come into contact with instinct.

On an emotional level, the fertile phase is the "place" where the highest expression of the feminine lives. We call it a premenstrual syndrome, a manifestation that contains various symptoms: water retention, breast pain, mood swings, migraine, insomnia, irritability.

It is also called PMS, premestrual syndrome . Okay, it has been classified and cataloged, but we try not to make it become a condemnation that exempts us from regular functions.

All the properties and benefits of borage oil

Borage and movement

Borage oil in pearls is rich in plant hormones that attenuate the disorders associated with menstruation. It is taken for cycles (no more than a month) and the therapy is repeated 2-3 times a year. We always advise confiding in your herbalist or parapharmacist . Usually 3-6 pearls are taken per day, starting 7-10 days before the expected start of the flow. It benefits the hormonal balance and it is also excellent the action on the skin in case of acne or painful pimples.

Avoiding letting go also means moving. Body training must be a constant, because, making us part of a cycle, we cannot fail to express its dynamism with our own physical. How much to move and how? Go yoga (always warn your teacher when you are in full flow or immediately before, if he / she does not ask you, which should happen more or less always), gentle exercise, light running, pilates not performed too intensely, long walks, bland bike rides. Help yourself with food, which is your good gas. Do not fill with sugar or white flour. Fiondatevi on fruits and vegetables. Yes to wheat germ on the salad, yes to algae. And good moons to all the evolutions and further cycles you are experiencing.
