Hi Alisa<div>
I must admit I’m shy about offering any health advice on this platform because of the wealth of knowledge here and because I’m in awe of Barre’s super whizz knowledge!
I’ve had some strange experiences with things that shouldn’t be happening after a gig and a crowded restaurant so I get your passing shedding concerns plus a lot of fear has been put out there. I kind of wondered for myself if it was a “tuning” thing but who knows.
There are wonderful herbs out there for excessive bleeding and hormone balancing and I think Penny has mentioned some fab ones and I’d also look at basic, background stuff.
I’d usually look at congestion and nourishment. You’re at the age when people start talking about perimenopause, fibroids, polyps, endometriosis but in a world full of labels it’s good to look behind the scenes. A less efficient functioning colon and liver can contribute massively so it’s always good to have a cleanout. Barre and Mike are well into coffee enemas as they’re strongly effective but some people aren’t ready to go there or physically find it hard to manoevre so herbal colon cleanses and liver flushing can be done instead to clear the crap out and to get everything perky.
I’d also keep the diet clear of pesticides and dairy, certainly for now. And over stimulating things like sugar.
The adrenal glands might be a bit tired and again there are herbs for that but do background basics first. I think a lot of women are a bit tired as they head towards the middle ages, tired of always “giving out”, often to jobs/careers, relationships, families, parents, conventional society and its demands, partners. A lot of this is enjoyable and fulfilling as well but there’s often a continual outward movement rather than thinking what does my secret soul desire? If that’s you then think about what your secret soul does desire. The last few years have made us all look very outwards but we need to create too. So there’s that central energetic nourishment but also nutritional nourishment, especially at this time of year…..go green, lots of live green smoothies!
I think modern humans can be very detached from the cycles and rhythms of life and the menstrual cycle can reflect that. I’d say do a lot of earthing/barefoot walking but it’s bloody cold at the moment. But get out there, sit/walk with some plants and trees. And light! I’ve had some recent experiences with not enough natural daylight and a mad neighbour keeping me awake with a crazy strobe effect cat deterrant causing bleeding issues! Get out and get enough daylight and get enough sleep in a properly dark room to balance out aspects of hormonal cycles.
Lots of women have complicated emotional attitudes regarding pregnancy and children too. I think modern women spend half their time trying not to get pregnant and then half their time trying to! Everyone has to follow their own path so sit quietly with yourself if there are things there that you have to work through.
I hope some of this is helpful, and raspberry leaf tea is often a very good starting point, it’s not just for pregnancy ?
