How I induced my period
So I’m usually pretty regular with my cycle every month, but this time it was late. My birthday is coming up in a week and I’ve also been working out a lot getting ready for a cruise, plus I’ve been pretty stressed (which I’m guessing is part of why it was delayed). I really didn’t want to be on my period during my first cruise.
I ended up going down a rabbit hole and, since I’ve been getting more into herbs lately, I read that raspberry leaf tea and ginger are commonly talked about for potentially helping support uterine contractions and getting things moving (nothing is guaranteed, obviously, just stuff I kept seeing).
So I made myself a cup before bed, used a heating pad on the lowest setting, and just relaxed. Within about an hour I started cramping, and by around 10 PM I started my period.
Just sharing my experience for anyone curious. Ingredient links listed below 👇
