Even if you've already ruled out pregnancy, there are various reasons your periods could be irregular or temporarily cease. The most common reasons for irregular periods include the following:

Stress and anxiety: Too much stress or anxiety impacts the body in many ways, so it's no surprise it can also impact your cycle. This is because stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, can interact with the s*x hormones that regulate menstruation, causing your periods to be longer, heavier, shorter, or even stop altogether temporarily. Hormonal changes or imbalances: When your hormones get out of whack, your period may be affected. This could be for a wide range of reasons, including reasons listed here, such as underlying conditions, stress, or breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding: Prolactin is a hormone that plays a role in breastmilk production. Too high prolactin can suppress ovulation and menstruation in some people, especially those who are breastfeeding exclusively. This is not harmful, and menstruation usually resumes once breastfeeding becomes less frequent.

Underlying Conditions: A missed or irregular period may be a sign of an underlying condition such as PCOS, thyroid issues, fibroids, or endometriosis. To rule this out, it's recommended you talk with your doctor, especially if you exhibit any other signs of such a condition.

Medications: Certain medications such as aspirin, NSAIDs, birth control, thyroid medications, antidepressants, epilepsy medications, or chemotherapy drugs can alter your menstrual cycles for the worse and require medication adjustments.

Lifestyle changes: Excessive exercise, such as seen by those who compete in various sports, or rapid weight loss can disrupt hormones and cause periods to become less frequent or stop. If you're concerned about the regularity of your Menstrual cycle, it's best to talk to your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis. Acupuncture can also help regulate your cycle and combat painful period symptoms!

Acupuncture point LI11, also known as Quchi or Pool at the Crook, is a vital point in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). LI11 is situated on the lateral side of the upper arm, in the depression that forms when the elbow is flexed.

Since this point is located on the Large Intestine meridian, meaning it has a direct influence on the functioning of the large intestine, it is commonly used to regulate bowel movements and alleviate symptoms associated with gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and even acute gastroenteritis. ✨

LI11 is also frequently used to clear heat 🔥 from the body, making it effective for treating conditions characterized by symptoms such as fever, inflammation, and redness like acute infections, inflammatory disorders, and skin conditions like acne and eczema.

Are you a mama who's been pregnant way too long?? 🤰 You've come to the right place! Here are the top natural ways to help promote labor ⬇️

✨ Acupuncture: We can help promote labor by targeting specific acu-points which help prepare the body for birth! For example, acupuncture can trigger the release of oxytocin, which plays a crucial role in stimulating uterine contractions. Acupuncture can also help regulate and strengthen uterine contractions, as well as encourage cervical ripening and reduce stress.

🚶‍♀️ Walking: Taking a brisk walk is a simple and effective way to encourage labor to start naturally. The movement helps to shift the baby's position and encourages the downward pressure of the baby's head on the cervix, which can stimulate contractions. Additionally, the swaying motion can help loosen the hips and pelvic muscles, aiding in the progression of labor.

❤️ Sexual in*******se: In*******se can potentially promote labor by stimulating the release of oxytocin, which is known to trigger uterine contractions. Additionally, the contractions that occur during or**sm can stimulate the uterus. It's important to note that in*******se is only recommended if your water has not broken, and there are no complications that would make it unsafe.

🧘‍♀️ Prenatal yoga: Engaging in moderate physical activity, such as prenatal yoga, can help encourage labor to start naturally. Exercise helps promote pelvic floor muscle relaxation, encourages the baby to descend into the pelvis, and may stimulate the onset of contractions.

🛀 Relaxation techniques: Stress and tension can inhibit the onset of labor. Engaging in relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, prenatal yoga, or taking warm baths can help release tension and promote a state of relaxation. When the body is relaxed, it may be more receptive to the natural progression of labor.

🌶️ Spicy foods: While there's limited scientific evidence to support the idea that spicy foods promote labor, some women swear by them. Spicy foods can stimulate the digestive system, which may indirectly stimulate the uterus. However, it's essential to listen to your body and avoid anything that causes discomfort or heartburn.

The human body possesses an extraordinary capacity to heal beyond what society may have led you to believe. Let's unlock the path to optimal wellness together. 💖 Through the ancient art of acupuncture, we awaken the body's natural healing mechanisms, guiding you toward balance, restoration, and wellness.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the emphasis is on maintaining balance and harmony within the body to promote overall health, and cold drinks are generally discouraged in TCM for multiple reasons 👇

TCM places great importance on the health of the spleen and stomach for digestion and nutrient absorption. Cold beverages 🍹 are thought to weaken these organs over time, potentially leading to digestive problems, such as congestion, bloating, and a feeling of heaviness, as well as a weakened immune system. 🦠

Cold drinks are also believed to cause the constriction of blood vessels, affecting blood circulation. In TCM, maintaining smooth and unobstructed blood flow is crucial for overall health.

Grapefruits are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering several health benefits when incorporated into a balanced diet.

Here are just some of the potential health benefits of grapefruit 👇

⭐ Rich in Vitamins and Nutrients: Grapefruit is a good source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that supports the immune system, promotes skin health, and aids in the absorption of iron. It also contains vitamins A and B-complex, as well as minerals like potassium.

⭐ Weight Management: Some studies suggest that including grapefruit in your diet may aid in weight management. It is low in calories, high in fiber, and has compounds that may help regulate insulin levels, potentially contributing to weight loss.

⭐ Heart Health: The fiber, potassium, and antioxidants in grapefruit may support heart health by helping to lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and promote overall cardiovascular well-being.

⭐ Antioxidant Properties: Grapefruit contains various antioxidants, including flavonoids, carotenoids, and vitamin C, which help neutralize free radicals in the body, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases and supporting overall health.

⭐ Hydration: With its high water content, grapefruit contributes to hydration, which is essential for various bodily functions, including digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation.

⭐ Digestive Health: The fiber content in grapefruit can aid in digestion and promote a healthy digestive system. Fiber adds bulk to the stool and may help prevent constipation.

⭐ Skin Health: The combination of vitamin C and other antioxidants in grapefruit contributes to skin health by supporting collagen production, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting a youthful appearance.

⚠️ NOTE: It's important to note that individual responses to grapefruit can vary, and interactions with certain medications are possible. If you have specific health concerns or are taking medications, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet.
