Naturopathic medicine and holistic practices allow women’s reproductive system to become one with the Earth’s roots and heal itself. By using holistic practices women are able to find the root cause of their reproductive problems and not just put a band aid over their problems like Western medicine teaches women. Naturopathic medicine dates back millions of years and has helped our ancestors heal their bodies from their menstrual cycle cramps to postpartum care. Our reproductive system is the tree of life and just like a tree gets its nutrients from earth to grow big and strong, the earth offers our reproductive system all the needed nutrients. Tuning into nature’s cycles can help women have a better menstrual cycle because the moon cycle can align with our menstrual, follicular, ovulation, and luteal phase. By recognizing which phase we are in, women can better align their lives to know when to be productive and when to slow down. Moreover, for those women who suffer from irregular cycles, hormonal disruptions, and PCOS, changing their choices to more natural healing practices can actually greatly help their symptoms get better. For example most Western medicine doctors will tell women with PCOS that by going on the birth control pill they will get better. However, many women who listen to this advice will only suffer more side effects from birth control and find that their PCOS returns after coming off the pill. By using natural supplements many women will actually see improvement and hormone alignment. Feeding our body what is natural will always be better than any synthetic drug.
