18 years ago, while I was in acupuncture school, one of my teachers described a healthy menstrual cycle as this:

• No pain whatsoever

• No PMS

• No clots

• Blood begins to flow as if someone turned on a faucet - and when it is over, it turns off like a facet (so no spotting before or after period)

• No breast tenderness, acne breakouts, nausea, vomiting, doubled over in pain, etc., etc.

 

I was like, WHAT? Who is this guy?  Obviously he has never had a period so what does he know.  All I ever knew was painful - in fact, doubled over in pain - periods.  That was normal for me.   

 

Little did I know, my periods were about to change...and never again did I experience that excruciating bearing down pain that had taken so many days of my life. 

 

I received a few months of regular acupuncture and then just like he described...I had the best periods of my life.  Pain-free, no clots, no spotting, and almost no PMS (I sometimes feel a little "off" the day before my period). 

 

That was 18 years ago, and to this day I still cringe when I hear about someone suffering from a painful period.  They sometimes have to miss work or stay home from school.  Sometimes for days!  I know it doesn't have to be this way, and I am grateful to share all the secrets I know on how to create a sacred moon cycle.
