Diluted with a carrier oil or (I know this is bad) just full-on applied by itself to your abdominal area. I also use it for headaches bug bites and when Iām sick (either under my nose or dabbed on the shower walls in a hot shower for aromatherapy)⦠it really really helps. Also heat, magnesium supplements, maybe some kind of low-thc product. I also love California poppy tincture but it has the same constipating effect that opiates have š¤”
mouse it actually SMELLS amazing too. they sell it in a big and a small bottle the big bottle is so gorgeous sitting on a vanity and the little bottle is sooo portable š
taterhole is it kinda like tiger balm at all? Cause I use that stuff alllll the time for pain, but it does stain stuff so Iām always looking for alternatives as a chronic pain girly
mouse it is literally so similar to tiger balm without the greasy parts. Itās camphor, menthol, methyl salicylate, lavender oil, eucalyptus oil, and peppermint oil!!!!!!
On taterholeās suggestion! For pain relief and general goodness. Iāve just used some on my painful neck and it is soothing. Like a milder tiger balm that doesnāt stain your clothes! The bottle is so cute, Iām gonna carry it everywhere and always smell of menthol and lavender.
Starting in eighth grade when I had one that was so bad the pain made me faint in the middle of a Best Buy and I knocked over a ton of camera tripods on display. Embarrassing⦠My doctor prescribed me all kinds of medications for it including Topamax (which people call Dope-amax because it literally makes you stupid and thatās probably why I canāt do simple math to this day) and Fioricet (a barbiturate š lmao) but I went off of medications a few years ago and worked on treating the symptoms myself. I donāt eat heavily processed foods or seed oils and try to limit sugar because of their inflammatory effects, I get lots of healthy dietary fat and try to remember to drink enough water, I do yin yoga regularly, and I take magnesium glycinate every night before I go to sleep.
I almost never get headaches anymore but when I do theyāre more like killer tension headaches. I have a mask similar to this and I microwave it and strap it on my face or around the nape of my neck and it really helps. I also apply White Flower Oil to the area where the pain is originating and dab some under my noseāitās a life saver (search White Flower Oil and youāll probably find my rec about its other uses)! And Yoga with Adriene has AMAZING headache and migraine yoga videos you can follow along with that should also give you some much-needed relief.
cbd capsules that help to soothe muscle contractions in the uterus :,) have helped me a ton!
also, ginger tea has become my best friend during my period. start drinking a cup a day before and during your period and see how you feel.
if all else fails, arthritic level extra-strength acetaminophen and a heating pad will usually knock me out cold until the pain goes away.
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
