Self-Care For Each Phase Of The Menstrual Cycle

By tailoring our self-care to each phase of our menstrual cycle, we can tap into deeper rejuvenation and nourishment.

As cyclical beings, our hormones make us feel different physically, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically each day. So why not mix up your self-care to reflect this?

Menstruation: Rest and Reflection

During your period, it's crucial to honour rest. Your body works hard to shed the uterine lining, leaving you potentially depleted. Embrace your inner reflection and turn inward. Stay cozy at home, sip herbal teas, journal, take warm baths, and wrap yourself in blankets for comfort.

Follicular: Planting of Seeds

The follicular phase is about joy, creativity, and setting goals. Try new recipes, create a vision board, bring fresh flowers into your space, increase movement, visit museums, and indulge in hobbies. Use this time to ignite your passions and nourish your soul.

Ovulation: Embrace Radiant Energy

Ovulation is the peak of the menstrual cycle's yang energy. Celebrate self-expression, connection, and sensuality. Dance, wear statement clothes, spend time with loved ones, join group workouts, sing, and engage in creative activities. Embrace your vibrant, radiant energy.

Luteal: Nurture Well-being

The luteal phase can be challenging, but remember to be kind to yourself. Include warming foods, take nature walks, practice meditation, apply castor oil packs, engage in bodyweight exercises, keep a dream journal, and immerse yourself in water. Nurture your well-being.

These rituals are about honouring and cherishing yourself. Adapt them to suit your preferences and needs. Embrace the power of self-care throughout your cycle and watch how it enhances your well-being!
