Periods don't have to be a painfully miserable monthly time frame year after year. Balancing hormones naturally through nutrition, lifestyle modifications, cleaning up your home/skincare products, and incorporating supplements during specific phases of your cycle all tremendously impact the pain levels, cramping frequency, and mood swings. In fact, Dr. Lana swears by incorporating regularly scheduled acupuncture appointments throughout the month to focus on supporting various hormonal functions and fluctuations during each phase of the menstrual cycle.
