🌿 Endometriosis and painful periods: understand, soothe and live better naturally

Painful periods are not inevitable. Yet, millions of women experience intense, often trivialized, pain every month. Possible causes include endometriosis , a chronic condition that is still underdiagnosed.

At La Chanvré Paris , we believe in a gentle, natural, and caring approach to female well-being. Here's some essential insight to better understand this condition and explore natural solutions to relieve menstrual pain.

🔍 What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue (the lining of the uterus) outside the uterus: on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, or intestines.

With each menstrual cycle, this tissue reacts to hormones as if it were in the uterus: it thickens, bleeds... but cannot evacuate itself, which causes inflammation, adhesions, and sometimes unbearable pain.

❗ Common symptoms not to be neglected

• Pelvic pain before and during menstruation
• Heavy and/or very long periods
• Chronic fatigue
• Pain during intercourse
• Digestive or urinary problems during menstruation
• Difficulty conceiving (infertility)

👉 If you experience one or more of these symptoms repeatedly, consult a healthcare professional.

⚠️ Painful periods: when should you worry?

Many women think that period pain is "normal." But pain that prevents you from living normally (working, sleeping, moving) is never normal .

Endometriosis is not the only possible cause: premenstrual syndrome (PMS) , cysts or fibroids can also cause significant pain.

🌸 What natural solutions are there to relieve pain?

At La Chanvré Paris , we believe in the power of plants and gentle rituals to support women throughout their cycle.

1. 🌿 Hemp: a soothing ally

Hemp , rich in CBD , has anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties. It can help calm menstrual cramps, reduce stress and improve sleep quality.

💡 Our hemp infusions are designed to support women during their most sensitive moments. Natural relaxation and relief.

2. 🌸 Raspberry leaf: feminine softness

Raspberry leaf has long been recognized as a beneficial herb for women. It helps tone the uterus, regulate the menstrual cycle, and relieve cramps thanks to its antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties.

At La Chanvré Paris , we select this plant for its natural effectiveness and gentleness. It can be consumed as an infusion, alone or in combination with hemp and other soothing plants such as yarrow or turmeric.

3. 💆‍♀️ CBD & Jojoba massage oil: a soothing ritual

To relieve cramps and release abdominal tension, our organic CBD & jojoba massage oil is a true well-being ritual.

• CBD : a powerful natural anti-inflammatory, it helps relax muscles and relieve pain.
• Jojoba : a gentle, nourishing, non-greasy vegetable oil, perfect for lower abdomen massages.

✨ Directions for use: Apply the oil in a circular massage on the lower abdomen, morning and evening or at times of pain. Take a moment to breathe deeply and reconnect with your body.

4. 🧘‍♀️ Gentle yoga, hot bath, self-massage

• Therapeutic yoga : certain postures such as child's pose or butterfly promote pelvic relaxation.
• A hot bath : it helps release muscle tension and soothe internal pain.
• Self-massages : with natural oils like our CBD oil, they stimulate circulation and calm inflammation.

5. 🧘‍♀️ Stress management: an essential factor

Chronic stress can worsen menstrual pain and endometriosis. Adopting a gentler lifestyle, practicing meditation, and using adaptogenic herbs like Brahmi or Ashwagandha can greatly improve quality of life.
