Drink raspberry leaf tea.

 

A wonderful uterine tonic, raspberry leaf naturally invigorates circulation and improves blood flow in the uterus, reducing tension and the tendency to pain. Drink 1-3 cups a day during your period, and 4-5 times a week the rest of the month to maximize its benefits!

 

 

Stop having iced beverages.

 

Cold cause constriction, and anything really cold that you eat or drink will negatively impact circulation in your pelvis, which is already hindered if you tend to have period pain. Stick to drinking room temperature or warm beverages, especially during your period.

 

 

Add ginger to your meals.

 

The benefits of ginger are profound for period pain, from natural analgesic properties to muscles relaxant effects and anti-inflammatory power. Spice up your diet with ginger by adding it into soups, marinades and dressings, stir-fries, and fresh boiled ginger tea.

 

 

Keep your feet warm.

 

When the feet are cold, it can lead to constriction of blood vessels and impede the smooth flow of Qi energy and blood along the vital energy meridians that lead up to the uterus and reproductive tract. In Chinese Medicine, keeping the feet warm is a traditional practice to protect the uterus, by preventing blood stagnation and promoting better circulation.

 

 

Take epsom salt baths

 

Epsom salt is composed of magnesium, which gets absorbed into the body during a bath offering pain relief due to its muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory effects. Warm or hot baths can also be soothing and relaxing so it’s a good opportunity to unwind and reduce stress while you relieve some period pain.

This started with a pattern.

Women experiencing period pain far more often than they should and being told it’s normal.

Something to push through.
Something to manage.
Something to accept.


But this is where things don’t add up.

Period pain is common — but it’s not normal. Most conventional options — painkillers, NSAIDs, birth control — focus on suppressing symptoms, often temporarily, without addressing why the pain is happening in the first place.

I’ve spent over 17 years working with women navigating chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, PCOS, infertility, and hormonal imbalance. And again and again, I saw the same thing:

Women managing symptoms month after month.
Relief that didn’t last.
And answers that never went deep enough.

Pain isn’t random.

It’s information. And when you understand what your body is communicating, you can begin to support it differently.
Sanguin was created from that understanding.

It translates a traditionally internal approach focused on circulation, movement, and relieving stagnation - into a topical formula that can be used simply and consistently.

The intention was not to create another quick solution. But something that works with the body — in a way that feels effective, supportive, and sustainable.

**Not a numbing solution. Not a temporary fix.**

A different approach to period pain entirely.

Because relief shouldn’t come from ignoring the signal.

It should come from understanding it.
