Natural Healing for Women’s Cycles, Hormones, and Birth
For thousands of years, women have used time-tested natural methods for supporting their health, cycles, and births with the support of midwives, herbalists, and community healers.
Traditional healing in cultures around the world is centered on a holistic approach including nutrition, herbalism, hydrotherapy, bodywork, support, and rest.
Today, it’s easier than ever to get away from the natural ways of living, with artificial lights, processed foods, technology, and noise constantly distracting us.
Our modern lifestyle also exposes us to an increasing amount of toxins and synthetic chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
There are immunosuppressant and hormone-disrupting chemicals in our food, water, air, body care products, household cleaners, building materials, furniture, and vehicles.
We also live in an increasingly high-tech culture and are overloaded with information daily from media, TV, radio, internet, and social media.
We’re bombarded with a vast amount of news, messages, notifications, and stress-elevating bits of information every day.
Through an increasing reliance on computers, cell phones, and screens we’re exposed to a high amount of artificial light which also affects our hormones and health.
Stress is affecting all of us.
It’s the biggest reason for doctor’s visits today in the United States of America.
Stress also significantly affects women’s hormones, bodies, and health in unique ways, as our hormones, cycles, and fertility are sensitive to inputs from the outside environment.
It’s time to simplify.
We can personally choose to get back to a more natural way of living in harmony with the cycles of life.
Holistic health doesn’t need to be complicated.
There are natural ways to support your health and create more ease in your cycles, hormones, body, mind, and spirit.
Throughout the cycles of a woman’s life, there are different stages that we may go through in our bodies with our sexual and reproductive hormones, organs, and life experiences.
A woman may face many unique symptoms and circumstances in her life through times of menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and beyond.
Embracing a holistic approach to supporting our health naturally can help to ease many symptoms and promote overall health through nurturing balance and wellbeing.
Scientific research is now catching up with many time-honored natural health traditions confirming the incredible benefits of whole foods nutrition, herbal healing, exercise, massage, sleep, nature, cleansing, and more.
Traditional healing methods are the first thing I turn to when needing wellness support.
Through natural health practices, we can prevent and avoid unnecessary or excess medical and pharmaceutical interventions.
When allopathic medical practices are needed, the use of natural healing methods can enhance recuperation and recovery.
In an optimal health care system, integrative medicine would provide access to all for both allopathic and holistic proven methods of healing.
However, we all have the ability to start reclaiming our natural health through our self-care choices every day.
What we put in and on our bodies has a huge impact on our personal health.
Choosing to support organic and local companies makes a difference in the health of our planet as well.
Health care truly is holistic, as our choices affect ourselves, our families, our environment, and the world.
Reclaiming women’s healing arts not only helps to support our own well-being but also keeps the heritage of natural healing alive.
Today, our health freedom is under attack.
One of the best things we can do to protect our health and the health of future generations is to learn about natural healing and to pass it on.
Many blessings,
