Anybody who menstruates will know that it can be a real rollercoaster every month. The cycle causes a change in hormones in our bodies, the side effects of which aren't always very


pleasant. Fatigue, brain fog, irritability and pain are all commonly experienced during the menstrual cycle, and not only are they annoying, but they can also hugely impact our day to day


life. In some cases, it's as simple as taking a paracetamol and going about your day. But if you really want to improve these symptoms and feel better in your cycle, then there's


an all-natural and quick way that could help you feel better. READ MORE: GPS REVEAL SIMPLE AT-HOME TRICKS TO REDUCE HAY FEVER SYMPTOMS The practise of grounding has been hailed as a quick


and effective way to lessen the impact of these annoying and painful menstrual cycles symptoms. Grounding involves reconnecting with the Earth’s natural energy and can help reduce


inflammation, lower stress and support hormonal balance, according to the experts at GroundLuxe. "Hormonal changes during menopause or menstruation can trigger a cascade of symptoms


such as joint and muscle pain, disrupted sleep, mood swings and increased inflammation," said Reed Wommack, CEO of the company. "By addressing the underlying stress and


inflammation in the body, grounding can help ease these symptoms." HOW TO GROUND YOURSELF According to the experts, it's as simple as walking or simply standing barefoot on some


grass or sand. You can also buy specialised grounding sheets and put them on your bed to sleep on. This therapeutic practice uses earthing science and grounding physics to explain how


electrical charges from the earth could have positive effects on your body, the pros at Healthline have explained. HOW GROUNDING CAN HELP MENSTRUAL SYMPTOMS IMPROVES SLEEP QUALITY Research


shows that grounding helps regulate cortisol, the body’s primary stress hormone. When cortisol rhythms are balanced, it's easier for women to fall and stay asleep. LESSENS PAIN AND


INFLAMMATION Grounding allows your body to absorb the natural electrons from the earth, which are shown to have antioxidant-like properties. These electrons can help reduce inflammation and


neutralise free radical molecules, which are major contributors to the pain and stiffness that many women experience during menstruation or menopause. PROMOTES BLOOD FLOW AND CIRCULATION


Grounding helps to promote blood circulation which can result in less painful menstrual cramps, better muscle recovery and higher energy levels. This is helpful for women who experience


fatigue or body soreness during hormonal changes. IF YOU WANT IDEAS AND INSPIRATION TO PLAN YOUR NEXT UK ADVENTURE PLUS SELECTED OFFERS AND COMPETITIONS, SIGN UP FOR OUR 2CHILL WEEKLY
