The menstrual cycle is much more than just a succession of periods. It reflects the hormonal and energetic balance of each woman, influencing both body and emotions. By understanding its phases, you can better listen to your body and adopt the right gestures at the right time.
1. Menstrual phase (days 1 to 5 approx.)
It begins on the first day of menstruation. The uterus evacuates the mucous membrane accumulated during the previous cycle, causing bleeding. This phase can be accompanied by cramps, fatigue and sometimes headaches.
How to take care of yourself
- Prioritize rest and regular hydration.
- Practice gentle movements such as yoga or walking.
- Soothe aches and pains with natural solutions such as Patch Nané, which acts locally in just a few minutes.
2. The follicular phase (days 6 to 13 approx.)
After menstruation, the ovaries begin to prepare a new egg under the influence of the FSH hormone. Estrogen levels rise, often bringing more energy and a better mood.
Recommended gestures :
- Take advantage of this renewed energy to engage in regular physical activity.
- Adopt a nutrient-rich diet (legumes, green vegetables, quality proteins).
- Create a well-being routine withInfusion Nané to balance and support the body.
3. Ovulation (around day 14)
Ovulation corresponds to the release of an ovum ready to be fertilized. This is the most fertile phase of the cycle. Some women experience a slight spike in libido, energy and sometimes mild pain (called "mittelschmerz").
Wellness tips :
- Support your energy with a varied, hydrating diet.
- Listen to your body: this is when vitality is often at its peak.
- Allow time for rest if abdominal tension appears.
4. Luteal phase (days 15 to 28 approx.)
After ovulation, the body secretes progesterone to prepare for the eventual reception of the embryo. If fertilization does not take place, hormone levels gradually drop, heralding the onset of menstruation. This is when premenstrual syndrome (PMS) occurs: irritability, fatigue, bloating, tender breasts...
Accompanying your body:
- Limit coffee, alcohol and sugar, which accentuate inflammation.
