Understanding Period Pain

🩸 In this episode of The Arc Woman Podcast, we dive deep into the anatomy of period pain—what causes it, how prostaglandins and estrogen dominance play a role, and why it’s not “just part of being a woman.”🧠 You’ll learn how menstrual cramps are linked to inflammation, stress, gut health, and hormonal imbalances. We break down the functional and naturopathic approach to understanding your pain rather than numbing it.🌿 From castor oil packs to magnesium and nervous system care, we share practical tools to soothe period pain—both before your bleed and while it's happening.🛒 Mentioned in this episode:💚 iHerb Storefront – I’ve curated my go-to products for hormone health, inflammation support, and nervous system regulation.
