Period Care
The foundation for health, strength, and beauty.
Effective self-care during menstruation strengthens and renews your body every month. Neglect will deplete it.
Traditional societies had special rituals during menses and after childbirth. Whether or not they valued women, they understood that a strong, healthy woman meant healthy babies and a strong lineage. Many of the advancements in women’s self-care and treatment in Chinese medicine were driven by Confucian values to improve the strength of each successive generation. We can use this rich knowledge now to strengthen ourselves as women.
I developed my Period Care Program as a modern adaptation from these ancient practices.
The Period Care Program alleviates common symptoms such as:
- menstrual cramps
- bloating and water weight
- PMS
- anemia
