Menstrual Cycle Health: Understand Your Body's Signs

  

Menstrual Cycle Health

Understand Your Body’s Signs

The health of your menstrual cycle is a reflection of your whole body health.

Severe premenstrual symptoms -- heavy bleeding, menstrual cramps, irregular menstruation, endometriosis, fibroids and other menstrual cycle difficulties -- may reflect a range of concerns. Hormone imbalance, nutritional deficiencies, drugs (synthetic hormones, pain killers, nicotine) that deplete body nutrients, allergies, immunological problems, and other influences can play a part in menstrual cycle symptoms and affect your reproductive and overall health.

Consultation with a Justisse Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner (HRHP) can help you to monitor and address your menstrual cycle concerns and understand how they are related to your overall health. Your HRHP will help you learn the Justisse Method of Fertility Awareness so that you can observe, chart and interpret the three primary signs of menstrual cycle function: cervical mucus secretions, basal body temperature and cervical position. She can also assist you in getting the information and help you need to make lifestyle and health care choices that support your menstrual cycle health.

Justisse offers clear information, personal consultation and holistic care.

  • Personal consultation on your symptoms and concerns.
  • Up-to-date scientific information on reproductive and overall health;
  • Referrals to alternative and complementary medical providers for diagnosis and prescription of natural therapies.
  • Suggestions for preventive care, symptom relief and optimum health.
  • Therapeutic counseling.

Contemporary pharmaceutical solutions to menstrual cycle concerns involve suppressing menstruation altogether. This approach can result in reproductive and other health problems because it doesn’t recognize the vital role our menstrual cycle plays in our overall health. Regular menstruation and ovulation for as long as possible goes a long way towards ensuring strong bones, healthy breasts, healthy heart, sharp mind, healthy sex drive, and robust health in mid-life and well into old age. Even if a woman chooses to not have children, she will still want healthy menstrual cycles for the sake of her whole body health.
