Non-Toxic Period Products
Let’s talk about non toxic period products.
Because some of these products have some NASTY ingredients in them such as PFAs (forever chemicals), synthetic fragrances, dyes, and more ingredients that you don’t want to use in or around such a delicate part of your body.
When it comes to tampons, it's essential to be discerning about the ingredients they contain. Opting for non-toxic tampons means steering clear of pesticides, dioxins, fragrance, and chlorine. One standout brand in this category is Cora, known for its commitment to crafting tampons without harmful additives.
For those looking to make a more sustainable choice, reusable menstrual cups are an excellent option. Brands like Diva Cup, Viv, Cora, and Saalt offer menstrual cups made from medical-grade silicone, ensuring both comfort and safety. These cups not only reduce environmental waste but also provide a leak-free and reliable alternative to traditional tampons.
Organic period panties are gaining popularity for good reason. When searching for these products, prioritize those made without PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), harmful chemicals often found in conventional underwear. Cora, once again, stands out as a brand that crafts organic period panties, ensuring that your undergarments are free from toxins.
Holistic Period Care:
We can’t talk about periods without talking about pain-free periods! Here are my fav holistic hacks to a pain free period - this is not medical advice, so if you’re having very painful periods my top recommendation is talking with your doctor.
Whenever I have cramps, I immediately reach for peppermint oil and geranium oil! I dilute the two oils with coconut oil and rub over my abdomen.
Peppermint oil has been cherished for centuries for its refreshing scent and myriad health benefits. When it comes to period cramps, peppermint oil's natural analgesic (pain-relieving) and antispasmodic (muscle-relaxing) properties can work wonders.
Geranium is known for its balancing effects on hormones, geranium oil can be a valuable ally during menstruation. This essential oil is believed to help regulate hormonal imbalances that contribute to cramps and mood swings.
I created a Period Cramp Relief Kit so you can combine these two oils easily!
Hormones Health Tincture:
Every morning, I add a tincture to my water that helps balance hormones, made with herbs such as raspberry leaf, dandelion root, orange peel, and many other hormone healthy herbs! Check them all out here, the tincture is called ‘Soothe’.
