Lately I have been exploring psychedelics with my partner as a healing modality and it’s honestly changed our lives. We started off with psilocybin and have done LSD twice now and what I have noticed is that every time the period I get right after is literally THE WORST. I had several months apart and the periods I got when I didn't do them, were a breeze.
I have been incorporating many self-care practices for my womb, most of them via herbs and diet. These practices have helped tremendously with my PMS, the amount of blood and color of it during my cycle but when I do psychedelics, the 24hrs before my period comes down it has been the worst. The last time this happened I literally had hip/glute pain and lower back pain to the point where I had to walk around my house almost as if I was in labor. Like WTF!
I started researching and learned that since I become aware and heal so many of my traumas and blockages by taking these psychedelics, that when myperiocame t was my body releasing all that was kept in my womb which was why these periods were so bad. There is research that says that the more trauma or stress a woman has or experienced that is directly correlated to PMS. Check out the study here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3404806/
A lot of our traumas can be hereditary. I mean think about it if we hold so much of it there and that is where a baby get nurtured. Also being a woman in day to day life presents itself with so many traumatizing situations and fears that we need to just deal with. I myself have been in toxic manipulative relationships and had so many limiting beliefs that I have been releasing and rewriting. I suppressed so many of them that I didn't even realize that they were a thing. The more I learn about trauma and how it works it is that it is subjective, so what is not a big deal to one may be huge to another and that however you felt at that moment during that experience is valid….especially if today it is still holding you back from living your best self.
Using psychedelics as medicine to help you uncover blocks is really life changing and I do recommend it to anyone who feels stuck. Each experience is different so do your own research. Although these periods suck I am glad to get out whatever it was that was in my body. I know most of it was energetic and was being represented in my physical body through the pain but like I said I am glad it's not in me anymore.
I am also not saying that your periods will be this bad either after you do this type of medicine. I am taking lots of herbs to support my womb so I do think they played a role on how bad the pain was because the herbs probably supported the stagnant energy getting released.
So if you have wild PMS and know that you have blocks in your life and trauma maybe consider taking care of your womb. Please know that PMS isn't normal not matter how normal society wants to make it so. This is a natural process.
As a coach and herbalist I learned through time that so much of weight loss and diet has to do with traumas and beliefs. I personally feel it’s my calling to help women heal and that includes their womb.
Here are some ways to care for your womb, again these are SOME but definitely not all:
- Getting a Yoni egg
- Yoni Steaming
- Changing your diet
- Having a healthy exercising routine
- Taking herbs for womb support
- Having healthy practices to process emotions
