What else happens?
Maybe see this page first – as I discuss PAIN and why the location of your life centre – your womb – is the core of the issue. Hormones? Made in the ovaries – and likely not able to flow as the ligaments and soft tissues are all in a tangle. And the energy instructions are messed up by life – your past and what is happening as a result – EMOTIONS STUCK? That is called ‘stress’. Freeing yourself is needed.
OR – all of this happens
GUT RESPONSES
Description: Belly/digestion plays up before, or during a period.
Why: Stuck Liver Qi. Lack of ingredients needed to run your body and the menstrual cycle. Maybe as simple as a lack of magnesium, iodine (to allow your gut to even work well), abundant hydration – pure water, and good gut bacteria.
Solution: Look to the role of the Liver Qi in all digestion/circulation, emotions and reproductive issues. Paint iodine on skin of belly all month, if it soaks in before 24 hours – you need it to regulate all womanly cycles and your breasts. May have low thyroid function – usually due to presence of heavy metals and not enough iodine/excess heavy metals will start this off. Need to get the body to work with your mind and food and life choices, releasing all that has bound you up. Eat only when hungry and not when upset. Do not eat what is aggravating your conditions. Try the GAPS diet.
FAINTING
Description: Lose of consciousness – maybe briefly, or for a few minutes. See Shen
Why: Not enough good quality Blood energy made and circulated to go around the body at this time. Shocked. Insufficient blood getting to the head
Solution: (See Dizziness). Correct poor sleep habits. Eat better food – esp all the sacred foods that traditional cultures set aside for those who were to breed – which is why women are to be looked after so much better than they may think to do themselves.
DIZZINESS
Description: Needing to stabilize yourself. Feeling dizzy either on changing position, or comes over you in waves. If with damp/phlegm/mucous. Your digestion that needs investigating.
Why: Maybe a low thyroid problem – usually undetected by blood tests – so take your BBT (basal body temperature) as a start. Depleted Blood sign. May have poor sleep habits as a result of this.
Solution: If feeling faint – use these points on yourself. Add more salt and fat and protein in diet. Also paint iodine on belly skin all month, if it soaks in before 24 hours – you need it to regulate all womanly cycles and your breasts. May have an iron deficiency as a result of over bleeding – but the low thyroid function usually due to presence of heavy metals and not enough iodine will start this off. Find a good acupuncturist.
MOOD CHANGES
Description: Can’t get a stable frame of mind, as the menstrual cycle seems to run your life.
Why: Emotions are under the control of your state of Liver energy. This is serviced by good quality Blood energy – in health. Stuck Liver Qi. Possibly also with Blood deficiency. You may not be aware that you need good ingredients to run a cycle well Aided by insufficient magnesium, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin D and zinc and other micro minerals.
Solution: Overhaul your life – starting with throwing out all caffeine, alcohol and fruit, juices, and chocolate and choose. To eat as much fat as you can, plus heaps of veggies and protein with no/minimal cereal or grains. See how the sea vegetables and painting yourself with iodine to assist the thyroid work again allowing the detoxing needed to take effect.
ENERGY SWINGS
Description: Are all over the place – sometimes energy, often in a hole.
Why: There is insufficient flow of great nutrients and too much of what is driving this and low thyroid/ low BP/ low blood sugar. Eating foods that convert to sugar make this so much worse – and you will no doubt crave them. SALT, fat, protein, a gut that supports life is needed.
Solution: Look at what you intend to fuel yourself with. Start with protein snacks – real food – every three hours. Move to more fat and no sugar, or foods that turn to sugar in the body. Paint iodine on as most women’s problems including weight and depression are due to a lack of this.
What relieves it?
LYING DOWN
Description: Pain goes away if you are horizontal
Why: Physically the blood can flow easier without gravity, and the blood goes to the muscles, meaning they feel temporary full and able to work – so not blocked, hence no pain. You may thus have Blood deficiency and you are exhausted. You need your life affirming your being a woman – and this includes loving touch, and having a sense of purpose.
Solution: Discover why life feels so hard – adaptability may be missing. Blood deficiency and general yang and yin depletion is likely. Look at what you intend to fuel yourself with. Start with protein snacks – real food – every three hours – a little often. Also move to more fat and no sugar or foods that turn to sugar in the body. Paint iodine on yourself as most women’s problems including being overweight and depression are due to a lack of this.
PRESSURE
Description: If you press where it hurts, it feels better.
Why: Means there is a lack of/deficiency of basic ingredients in your body. Review what Qi and Blood do. Read Qi depletion. Read Blood depletion.
Solution: Look to understanding why your body may be upset. Investigate healing all aspects of your body through finding a holistic natural women’s womb worker. Most began with the Mayan massage/Arvigo foundations. Follow up abdominal self belly and life changes will also also expected. Use safe intimate care products as the negative ion strip naturally normalizes life flows. Use far more magnesium on the skin. Choose in season nutrient dense foods, take more Vitamin D3 and live simply. Find a local acupuncturist/Chinese herbalist to ensure all is recovering well in your body. Periods will then normalize.
APPLICATION of HEAT
Description: If you add heat, the pain and discomfort are relieved temporarily You feel worse when cold.
Why: There is cold in your body stopping circulation from working as it should. Probably there is a lessening of your Yang Qi and this may also show up as a general lessening of your metabolism/ thyroid function and life slows down. This may need substantial help. A traditional health model is needed that covers all life and how to heal yourself. This is not offered in the men’s worlds of linear medicalised fee for service. No ‘old wives’ tales’ would offer cold as a solutions – in fact always the opposite. Oral traditions passed down as mother’s and grannies’ ways may have been invalidated, but stood the test of time – getting all of us to here. We do NOT need ‘more research’. Follow nature and what works. You may find the shift in perspective to following nature to help yourself in all my courses – see more here. It is more than ‘just’ painful periods happening – they are the monthly health report card.
Solution: Avoid all cold or cool environments, air and foods/fluids. Follow all advice in Menstrual Rescue Removing cold and adding moxa and massage will assist in all aspects.
SLEEP
Description: If you have a nap /sleep, the pain is diminished/goes away.
Why: There is just not enough of you. Yin deficient in acupuncture speak. Exhaustion. Sleep replenishes, as when recharging a phone battery. May need much more Blood energy. This is made from better raw ingredients especially water, rest and fresh air – and exercise and better quality food.
Solution: A good woman’s life needs optimal Blood production and circulation. May need to start with adding topical iodine and ensure that you have all raw ingredients – far better foods, and rest. See a good natural health care professional/acupuncturist/herbalist.
How does it feel?
DULL
Description: Pain is low grade, although maybe constant in a general area.
Why: Empty/deficiency of key ingredients in the body – Qi depleted
Solution: See also ‘achy’ and ‘sleep’. Nutrients supplied and circulation working are the usual easy solutions for anything out of order.
ACHY
Description: Aching often deep within.
Why: Blood and Qi are not flowing well, and maybe there is not enough of either of these to allow normal to happen without incident.
Solution: Build up the body so bleeding happens on ‘automatic’ and there are plenty of ingredients to bleed uneventfully with. Start with overhauling what you call food – you must ingest fat and protein and a lot of both to make the baby nest monthly – whilst living well yourself. Paint iodine on skin of belly all month, if it soaks in before 24 hours – you need it to regulate all womanly cycles and your breasts. May have an iron deficiency as a result of over bleeding – but the low thyroid function usually due to presence of heavy metals and not enough iodine will start this off.
CRAMPING IN WAVES
Description: Need to get more Qi flowing – warmth/orgasms/exercise /magnesium used topically all through the month. May have womb in the wrong position, so she cannot empty. (See misaligned womb).
Why: Maybe there is just cold invasion – from the myriad things we do that Asian cultures would be warned against. Likely there are many issues to solve.
Solution: Avoid all cold or cool environments, air and foods/fluids. (Enhance your Yang Qi) Add more warmth, magnesium topically, more nourishment through the month – esp more fat (to make hormones with) and protein, coloured veggies and plenty of Chinese herbs/ acupuncture to restore a normal life so your periods are easy. Paint iodine on skin of belly all month. All women need it to regulate all cycles and easy breasts. May have an iron deficiency as a result of over bleeding. But the low thyroid function usually due to presence of heavy metals and not enough iodine will start this off. Investigate healing all aspects of your body through finding a womb worker. Do the self care they guide you through. Only use safe intimate care products.
FEELS LIKE ALL FALLING OUT/DOWN
Description: Dragging sensations as though the entire pelvic cavity is ready to fall out. May be often – not just when bleeding.
Why: Loss of integrity of the Spleen Yang Qi and general Blood and Qi weakness in the body. Exhaustion/over work /over exposure to cold /over bleeding. May be also now due to low thyroid function
Solution: Build up the body so bleeding happens on automatic and there are plenty of ingredients to bleed uneventfully with. Stop all exercise that exhausts you. Avoid all cold exposure.Investigate healing all aspects of your body through finding a Mayan massage/Arvigo therapist/womb worker and do all the self care they guide you through. Only use safe intimate care products. NEVER A CUP as it is likely also dragging womb down on extraction. Find a good acupuncturist/Chinese herbalist to restore your health. Use moxa and massage on yourself – See how to here.
SHARP
Description: You can pin point exactly where it is. Often is a sudden very intense even sharp experience
Why: Presence of ‘Stuck Blood’. Maybe called ‘endometriosis’, but really is just a matter of getting blood flow to normalize and all will be well again
Solution: Need to get to the bottom of why there is ‘Stuck Blood’. Nutritionally apply topical magnesium oil maybe 10 times daily to your bottom and belly. Take at least 10 grams of Vitamin C all through everyday. Eat more veggies and no sugar/ fruit/ juices /cereals/ grains or alcohol/ caffeine and feel the amazing difference!!! Avoid all cold and use iodine on the skin painted twice daily for best results. Peristeaming is likely to deliciously undo all your troubles. Third World woman’s wisdoms – do it yourself – see a beginner’s guide here.
STABBING
Description: More severe than sharp pain above. Feels as though a knife is being inserted/stabbed.
Why: As likely as the above mentioned: is your womb aligned correctly? See a womb worker. As in ‘Sharp pain’. Insufficient ingredients (esp micro-nutrients – eg Iodine – and no toxins blocking absorption) to keep the Qi and Blood moving. Not enough circulation – maybe as the uterus is tipped into a wrong spot. Many women just never know that their uterus is topped, and can be realigned – magic!! All reasons for pain gone!!!
Solution: Need to get to the bottom of why there is ‘Stuck Blood’. Investigate healing all aspects of your womb healing through finding a Mayan massage/Arvigo therapist and do all the self care they guide you through. Nutritionally apply topical magnesium oil maybe 10 times daily to your bottom and belly. As above with all the instructions – but DO IT ALL AT ONCE. Get Chinese herbal help as well. . Avoid all cold and paint iodine (15% Lugol’s solution is best) on the skin – painted twice daily for best results.
Where is it?
BELLY
Description: Generalized or specific areas. Liver Qi is NOT flowing as it is designed to. See STUCK Liver Qi
Why: Emotions unexpressed/ and the suppression of self are the two big ways to give yourself a ‘hormonal’ belly /menstrual problem.
Solution: May be in the cervix itself – you need to get orgasms/relaxation happening. The massage here and moxa sacrum. will help lots. Generalised belly /gut – all Stuck Liver Qi Release will dissipate when directed belly massage – see here – and topical magnesium is constantly added (bum is best).
BACK
Description: Usually aching in the back at waist area – very often the full womb in the wrong place. Not easy to discharge.
Why: Body not feeling strong enough (Kidney Qi, and Kidney Yin and Kidney Yang depleted) and/or the uterus may be stuck – and maybe lying in a non optimal spot. Weakening body you may have EVERYTHING I MENTION. AND THERE IS WOMB POSITIONING
Solution: Reposition womb. Find a womb worker or D.I.Y. Home work – the self massage here. Investigate healing all aspects of your body through finding a womb worker/Mayan massage/Arvigo therapist. Do all the self care they guide you through. See an acupuncturist as this is a central issue and when bleeding it is completely unnecessary – it is a warning plea from the core of your being. Possibly using real smoky moxa on specific points can assist you.
LEGS
Description: Usually aching down back of the legs. May additionally also be troubled by extreme itching and heat if very severe.
Why: Deficient Blood . When it gets serious there is extreme Blood deficiency and Liver Fire and Inner Heat then shows up (itching heat in legs and extreme mood changes/migraines).
Solution: Get the flow going with freeing your Qi, more magnesium all over the body all month. Get your pelvic organs and lymph flow unblocked – exercise is one aspect . Pelvic congestion is also a likely issue – see more here. Pelvic opening work may be all you need. Smokey moxa as seen here with the accompanying massage work (Not only, but excellent for birthing preparation). .
HEAD
Description: Either sharp, migraine-like pain – or dull aching. Cyclic.
Why: As with belly pain – the sharp, stabbing is due to Stuck Blood and the dull, achy is due to lack of the raw ingredients/circulation needed to run your body. The unused baby nest about to leave gives you have more blood in your body, your Liver Qi is NOT happy, and here you are. Again.
Solution: Emotionality is the accompanying issue. May need to look at the online self-pacedHelping Yourself course (your past is still with you) and holding it all in – allows the PMS/PMT/PMDD to also come on board. Unresolved LIFE issues. Being likely also somewhat rageful. If not initially, the head pain with help this along. Severe head pain – need hydration, magnesium and resolving inner stress. Stuck Liver Blood/Stuck Liver Qi – Dull pain: depleted Blood
GENERAL ACHES AND PAINS
Description: Body is painful all over. Cyclically ebbing and flowing with the period.
Why: Likely inadequate hydration, nutrition to make good quality Qi and Blood production and/or circulation. See what you need here. Not only for happy breasts. Exercise everyday can only help.
Solution: Correct your life and thus body imbalances. See a good acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist. Eat more nutrient dense foods. Live a life that includes time out to actually enjoy being yourself. See the range of online courses that you can take to help yourself here.
When is it?
BEFORE PERIOD
Description: Pain comes in with a raft of issues that are labeled ‘hormonal’. Often with IBS and migraines and all sorts of tension/stress/spasms/cramps all through body – is all about being free flowing. Liver Qi not flowing . .
Why: The uterus may be lying in an non optimal position and the effort of trying to get the blood to flow out may create the pain/fullness and distention as the blood filled uterus is laying on top of other structures, all impeding normal flow. Stuck Liver Qi. Not enough exercise /orgasms /not speaking your truth, insufficient magnesium in your diet/ and/or not enough dietary fat and resources to run a great menstrual cycle.
Solution: Take charge and get serious about living your life for yourself. More orgasms. More exercise, good living, drinking water, not caffeine or alcohol. Paint iodine on skin of belly different positions – a palm sized piece. Or on parts of breasts – move it around, , you need it to regulate all womanly cycles and your breasts. Maybe low thyroid function usually due to presence of heavy metals and not enough iodine. Using a lot of magnesium on your body and eating whole foods. Find a womb worker – Mayan/Arvigo/Mercier/ Mizan therapist to allow you to work with this gently at home. Ideally a Gentling Way practitioner – but more trainings are needed for this to eventuate.
BEGINNING OF PERIOD
Description: Pain as bleeding starts.
Why: Blood may be literally stuck as it can’t escape. Wonky womb positioning. See more here. Stuck Liver Blood can happen due to the lack of great orgasms, emotional repression, lack of exercise, Iodine to keep metabolism running well, good nutrients, or a combination.
Solution: Need to get movement/exercise happening and more magnesium on skin all through the month, more Vit C to help clear inner toxins and keep the Blood in a good state, and self happier. May need to take out the chemicals that are causing hormonal disruption.Check BBT Paint iodine on skin of belly all month, if it soaks in before 24 hours – you need it to regulate all womanly cycles and your breasts. Read more
WITH PERIOD
Description: (After the 3rd day) Losing too much blood that is also needed to run your body. Exhaustion, irritation and inner depletion leading quickly to inner depletion – other body and life (fertility/early aging) problems.
Why: Your body is not able to hold the appropriate amount of blood in, and more is being wasted than needs to be. In acupuncture terms, the condition called Blood Stuck may start this process – over time creating conditions also of Blood deficiency .
Solution: Explore what normal is on this app. Also here. FIX WHY YOU HAVE PAIN – start with womb positioning which includes undoing your tailbone and sacral troubles – see more on this. Cultivate wellness for yourself, as having a normal cycle is easier than what happens when you try to force a non cycle onto your body by chemically castrating yourself to avoid the monthly tides. Paint iodine on skin of belly. You need it to regulate all womanly cycles and your breasts. Must build up the Blood energy as all are designed to bleed monthly.
AFTER PERIOD
Description: Pain after the period is over/as it finishing. Tends to be dull, aching – not sharp and severe as the beginning.
Why: Body exhausted losing what it could not afford to. Blood deficiency – not enough to service your body needs.
Solution: Investigate what normal is. Paint iodine on skin of belly all month. Needed to regulate all womanly cycles and your breasts. Cultivate it for yourself, as having a normal cycle is easier than what happens when you try to force a non cycle onto your body by chemically castrating yourself to avoid the monthly tides. Must attend to this as it is serious – yin depletion happening. You are designed to bleed monthly. Find a womb worker – Mayan/Arvigo/Mizan/Mercier therapist to help you repair all issues, and to show you to work with this gently at home. Home work here – it all works
