Need to Induce Menstruation Fast? Here are 5 Methods that Might Work for You
Hormonal birth control, especially Depo-Provera, can cause long periods of time to go by without menstruation. This causes many women to worry when they do not experience their normal period, which can be an indicator of other issues, such as pregnancy or illness. Inducing menstruation using natural methods can give you peace of mind and make it easier to know when your next period will come around. There are many ways to induce menstruation naturally, but these five techniques have been found most effective by women who have tried them out.
1) Consume an Organic Cucumber
The truth is, there is no surefire way to induce menstruation and every woman's body works differently. While eating an organic cucumber might work as a method for some women, there is no guarantee that it will work for you. In the case of my friend who called me in the middle of the night, I recommended she try several other methods before resorting to this one. I strongly encouraged her not to have sex since intercourse tends to stimulate hormones, which may exacerbate cramping symptoms; do kegel exercises; drink lots of water throughout the day, or sit in a steamy bath with a little lavender oil mixed into the water.
2) Invest in a Tampon with Ginger Compound
Menstrual cups, tampons with ginger compound, and other contraceptives are a few of the ways you can stop your period early. Tampons with ginger compound seem to be a favorite because they work quickly, offer some relief from cramps, and last overnight. All you need is two unopened regular-sized tampons with one teaspoon of organic ground ginger in each one. Simply insert the ginger-tampon up high (you might have trouble at first getting it past your cervix), so it presses against your uterus. One of our employees was able to end her period within 24 hours using this method!
3) Drink Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea is a mild, slightly astringent herb. Drink one cup of chamomile tea and wait until morning. If it does not work, you may need to repeat the process for up to three days in a row. Since chamomile can be an estrogenic agent, drink only infrequently if you're pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
4) Consume Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is a natural home remedy used by many people as a digestive tonic, an anti-inflammatory, and an expectorant. It's a great addition to any home medicine cabinet. Some people also believe apple cider vinegar can reduce bloating, improve symptoms of acid reflux, and lower blood sugar levels. Regardless of its ability to address other conditions, what it's most well-known for is stimulating menstrual periods or inducing them when they're late in coming.
5) Go to Bed Early
If you need to induce menstruation in a day and have access to a comfortable place where you can sleep, this might be the best method for you. The idea is simple: sleep can help decrease your hormone levels, which will make your menstrual cycle more regular and maybe even initiate the onset of menstruation if it hasn't started yet. Take care not to oversleep, as this will actually work against you by increasing your hormonal levels; instead, aim for eight hours of sleep or less each night (sleeping more won't accelerate the process any faster).
