Self-Care Techniques for Your Menstrual Cycle

Periods are a natural part of life, so it’s only natural to want to take care of your body during the first phase (and every phase) of your menstrual cycle. There are simple ways to ensure you show your body the care it needs during your period, including using all-natural products and naturally reducing the feeling of cramps, bloating, and discomfort.

Practice Gentle Movement

You don’t have to go hard at the gym during your period, but moving your body can still feel good and support circulation. It may also encourage you to stay hydrated, which will help with bloating and fatigue.

Apply some natural deodorant to nourish your skin, keep body odor at bay, and avoid potentially harsh ingredients as you go through your gentle workout. You can keep your workout mellow while you flow with yoga and walking or challenge your muscles with a Pilates class.

Use Non-Toxic Skincare Products

When you want a self-care routine that involves a bath, body oil, and products that pamper your skin, use all-natural options with wholesome, clean ingredients. During your period, you may be feeling less than stellar, and conventional products with questionable ingredients won’t make you feel better physically, even if they make you feel good in the moment.

Swapping to natural products will support your body during your period so that you can feel as good as possible. Take a bath with Epsom salt, use a natural body oil with fractionated coconut oil and essential oils to soothe your skin and stimulate the senses, and make this moment for self-care feel extra special.

Apply a Magnesium Cycle Spray

When you experience discomfort from cramps, bloating, or other symptoms of hormonal changes before and during your period, you may benefit from a topical magnesium spray. Magnesium is a natural option for easing muscle discomfort, including those in the lower abdomen.

A natural magnesium spray can soothe menstrual cycle symptoms, supporting a more intuitive way of wellness for all phases of your cycle. Simply spray it onto your lower abdomen, beneath your belly button, and massage it into your skin using circular motions. Repeat this process at 30- to 90-minute intervals.

Go Easy on Yourself

It’s best to go easy on yourself during your period, especially if you experience intense cramps and a heavy flow. Your body, including your brain, which sends out all kinds of signals for hormone production, is working hard. With all that going on, you shouldn’t worry about whether you skipped shampoo day or passed on doing your usual face mask. That stuff will be there when your period is over.

While you should definitely continue to practice personal hygiene by showering or taking a nice bath and practicing your oil cleansing and serum routine, you can opt to use a natural dry shampoo when you skip shampoo day. There’s no reason to stress about appearance-related things when you have natural skin and hair care products to do the heavy lifting.

Your cycle is a part of your life, and even if you track your cycle and are consistent with your self-care routines, periods can still feel uncomfortable. Don’t let these parts of life get in the way of truly living. Make sure you can take care of your body by practicing self-care before, during, and after your period. Let your natural inclinations for gentle movement and high-quality products set the precedence for how you treat yourself while you flow.
