Period pain is not just an inconvenience; it can be a formidable adversary, capable of disrupting the flow of life itself. For women with fibroids, navigating through the monthly ordeal can feel like traversing a battlefield. Have you heard the recent comparison of period pain to the intensity of a heart attack? The agony is real, and it's time we address it head-on.

Imagine enduring excruciating pain while trying to maintain your professional and personal responsibilities. It's a harrowing experience that many women face silently. However, silence doesn't equate to acceptance. I recently received a call from a 53-year-old woman who resonated deeply with my company's message: "I know your pain; call a nurse for help." We connected over shared struggles with painful periods and the burden of fibroids. She, like many others, was adamant about avoiding a hysterectomy, not just due to physical discomfort but also because of the profound emotional and spiritual implications.

Why endure such suffering? The answer lies in a myriad of fears – fear of irreversible bodily changes, fear of surgical procedures, fear of losing control over one's own body. Have you ever witnessed the aftermath of a prolapsed bladder, a consequence of hysterectomy? The sight is a stark reminder of the irreversible alterations surgery can inflict upon the body, both physically and mentally.

In 2020, I contemplated a novel hysterectomy procedure that promised to preserve the integrity of the uterus's lower portion. Yet, even that option didn't assuage my concerns. The specter of invasive procedures loomed large, prompting me to seek alternative solutions.

The reality is, period pain, medically known as dysmenorrhea, is a significant impediment to daily life. Relying solely on painkillers like Ibuprofen poses its own set of risks, from increased blood loss to adverse effects on the stomach and heart. Alternatively, enduring the pain in silence, curled up on the floor, is not a sustainable solution either.

So, where do we go from here? It's time to empower ourselves with holistic approaches to manage period pain and pelvic issues. For me, that journey has involved embracing natural remedies like castor oil packs, essential oils, wool cloths, and heating pads. While the scientific mechanisms may elude me, the tangible reduction in blood clots and heavy bleeding speaks volumes.

Here are four best practices for nursing periods.

Plus a simple recipe for relief:

1. Hexane-free Castor oil

2. COVERED Luxury Perfume Oil

3. Wool cloth

4. Heating pad

Apply a tablespoon of castor oil to your belly, massaging it around the belly button, sides, and pelvic area. Follow with a dab of COVERED Luxury Perfume Oil. Cover the area with a wool cloth and place a heating pad on top. Incorporate prayer and meditation into this ritual, repeating it three times a week before and during your period.

I invite you to embark on this journey towards relief and reclaim your power over period pain. Together, let's break the silence and embrace holistic solutions that honor our bodies or minds and our God in heaven. Let me know how this regimen works for you, and remember, you're not alone in this battle.

There are nonsurgical options like Dr. Harris's treatments. I am not recommending him or the treatment option only sharing options available.

What I do recommend is getting a bottle of our COVERED Luxury Perfume Oil. Use for the Frankincense oil that has positive effects on heavy periods.
