Take it easy during your menstrual cycle and, according to ayurdeda, a lot of possible future health problems would be diverted.
Unfortunately however, not ‘being up to par’ once a month is often frowned upon and women tend to try even harder to be ‘superwoman’.
However, your monthly period is nature’s way of detoxing your body. If you go with it you’ll reap enormous health benefits. Fighting it, however, can exhaust you and possibly lead to future health problems.
In the East women are often encouraged to totally rest for a few days a month. This is obviously not practical for all. But at least do as little as possible and go to bed as early as you can.
Keep your diet light and healthy. If your body doesn’t have to put too much work into digestion it can get to work on that natural monthly detox much more efficiently!…
Eat plenty of well cooked vegetables. Munch on fresh fruit. Try soaked dried figs and/or dates as wonderful chocolate substitutes….
Oh…those choccy cravings. If you can’t ditch the monthly choc altogether try a little square of the more healthy dark choc, along with a date or fig!

If you tend to get a ‘little down’ during your menstrual cycle a good sniff of the essential oil, clary sage, is tremendously uplifting! I like to put a few drops into a nice warm bath. Divine!
So rest as much possible. Eat wholesome healthy food. Go to bed as early as possible. And ignore any negative comments you may receive…don’t waste your energy responding… Save it for turning the pages of a lovely novel as you languish in bed!
Try these easy tips and enjoy the extra energy and improved mood that’ll be yours for the rest of the month!
