CBD for PMS Relief

It is a fact that periods can cause discomfort and pain for many people, including cisgender women, transgender men, and non-binary individuals. Symptoms such as cramps, headaches, fatigue, acne, mood swings, and bloating can interfere with daily activities. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate some of the physical symptoms but may not address the moodiness and depression that often accompany menstruation.

However, CBD may offer a natural alternative for pain relief. Cannabidiol is a cannabinoid compound that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study that found that patients with chronic pain who used cannabis or cannabinoids were more likely to experience a significant reduction in pain symptoms.

Cannabinoids work by affecting the release of neurotransmitters in the brain that are responsible for physical and psychological functions such as anxiety, pain, and sleep. Breast tenderness, backaches, muscle aches, cramps, anxiety, moodiness, depression, and insomnia are among the symptoms that CBD may help alleviate.

• Consider using CBD suppositories: CBD suppositories, such as Mello Flo, are a natural and effective alternative to traditional pain relief medication for period pain.
• Exercise regularly to reduce cramps and other period-related discomforts.
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet that is rich in nutrients to reduce inflammation and other symptoms associated with periods.
• Engage in stress-reducing activities such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to alleviate symptoms.
• Get enough sleep to reduce period-related symptoms such as fatigue.
• Apply a heating pad to your lower abdomen or back to alleviate cramps and other period-related discomforts.
• Use essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, and peppermint to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
• Try herbs such as ginger, turmeric, and chamomile, which have anti-inflammatory properties and can help to alleviate period-related pain and discomfort.
• Masturbation and Sex

CBD has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and relaxing effects, which can help to reduce pain, discomfort, and tension in the pelvic area, leading to a more comfortable period.

CBD suppositories, such as Mello Flo, offer a natural and effective alternative to traditional pain relief medications for menstrual cramps. These suppositories deliver CBD directly to the pelvic region, allowing for absorption by local tissues and blood vessels. Additionally, they contain added magnesium which can provide benefits such as reducing inflammation, easing muscle tension, and promoting relaxation.

A 2019 study published in the journal Gynecologic and Obstetric Investigation found that CBD, when used as an add-on therapy to existing treatment, was effective in reducing the severity of PMS symptoms. The study concluded that CBD can be a safe and promising option for women experiencing PMS.

Another study published in the Journal of Women's Health in 2018 showed that CBD can alleviate both physical and psychological symptoms associated with PMS, such as pain, anxiety, and depression.

A 2020 study published in the Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology also found that CBD can have an analgesic effect on menstrual pain by modulating the endocannabinoid system.

Masturbation can also be a helpful tool for menstrual pain relief, as it can promote relaxation and release endorphins, which are natural mood-boosting chemicals that help to reduce stress. Additionally, the physical activity involved in masturbation can also help to release tension in the muscles of the pelvic area, leading to reduced pain and discomfort. 

Sex during menstruation can offer several benefits for individuals who feel comfortable engaging in sexual activity during their period, as mentioned above. 

But, Another potential benefit of sex during menstruation is heightened pleasure and sensitivity. Some individuals report increased arousal and sensitivity during their period, which can lead to more intense orgasms.
