For that 'time of the month'...

For far too many years I had a very bad time with my menstrual cycle. I know many people that know me that would definitely agree. When I eventually decided to give the contraceptive pill a go (not till my late 20s) after the first few months I honestly thought wow this is what it's like to have a life! I can't say I was entirely happy about taking a pill everyday but it was making my life so much easier. Reading up on the havoc it can cause to our body really made me want to find an alternative way to deal with my 'Aunt Flow'. And luckily about a year and half ago, the same time when I decided to go plant based, I also made the decision to stop taking the pill. I am now allowing this body to do what it needs to do. Don't get me wrong it hasn't been easy but luckily for me I know a thing or two that can help ;) And in the last 3 months it just keeps getting better and better.
What have I personally done that's different? Well for starters you all know I changed my diet and for some people this can be all you need to do. I then started drinking as much organic Raspberry Leaf tea as I could about 3 cups to start with and now at least one a day every day (sometimes more when it's the first day or two of my cycle). About 2 months ago, I started taking some Blackcurrant Seed oil, a top quality vitamin B complex and in the last month I have been using the wonderful Biomat. But another thing that is helping is the use of essential oils. Clary Sage to be exact.
Taken from the Young Living site: 'Clary sage (Salvia sclarea) essential oil contains natural phytonutrients. It has a mellow, warm, herbal scent that is uplifting and relaxing, making it a perfect choice for supporting a normal, healthy attitude during PMS. It is also supportive for menopausal women.'


If you experience with PMS or PCOS I highly recommend you get in touch with a qualified Nutritionist. Click HERE to read an awesome post ' PCOS and Hormones: Tips You Can Use' by my wonderful nutritionist Liana <3

Liana Shanti's website is up!

My wonderful and loving nutritionist Liana Shanti launched her website last month. I am a bit late on posting about this for various reasons. As most of you know, Fredrik and I embarked on a 30 day juice fast at the end of October. It was quite a challenging one for me and I ended up only making it to day 21. Before I even started the fast I had been dealing with a very intense cluster headache. It ended up lasting about 2 weeks! Then as I was detoxing past chemicals and starting to feel better another part of my body started to 'play up'. Turns out I had an abscess forming right by the perianal fistula and after a few days of intense pain and high fever Liana was able to persuade me to seek medical attention.
I ended up in the ER and having surgery to drain the abscess. They have put a seton in place (I now have 2) and I am home and healing.  My sweetheart has been absolutely amazing <3 I really am truly blessed to have such a sweet and caring person in my life. Liana continues to be amazing supporting me and guiding me in my healing <3 I am so grateful for all the amazing people in my life.
