Best Ways To Support Female Health Naturally

If you’ve ever wondered how to best support female health naturally, whether for yourself or your daughters, then this article is for you! Just so you know: I have been self-taught in this area and while I have researched a lot over the last several years, this is simply me sharing what has worked for me.

As a tween, teen, and young wife I just followed mainstream techniques and traditions passed down from my mother. I suffered from horrible menstrual cramps, heavy periods, skin issues, moodiness, nausea, and more but I thought that was all normal parts of “growing up”.

When my mom was fighting cancer from 2003-2007 (both holistically and conventionally), and then when I had my first child who was born with health issues in 2005, I started to become concerned with toxins in my life. I started to research natural health via diet, personal care, supplements, exercise, etc.

Now, many years later, I have found several ways to support female health naturally! I feel SO much better when I “practice what I preach” in regards to diet, personal care, supplements, exercise, etc.

With myself & 7 children needing help with allergies, autoimmune disease, & more – and having daughters who are growing up – I want to model what it means to care for myself so that my children (daughters) can learn to do so through my example. I know that more is caught than taught!

Since I have an autoimmune disease, I do not want to boost my immune system. I try to avoid immune boosters and instead focus on supplements that support and strengthen my body in other ways.

Best Ways To Support Female Health Naturally

Coral Calcium – this was one of the first supplements I found to help ease my cycles. It was a subtle improvement, but enough to know it was helping!

Garlic Pills – this is something I first started taking to help my skin issues. I still use it to help fight illness, but try to avoid taking it during my period since it seems to cause me to have a heavier flow. I typically take it a few days a month or when I have been exposed to sickness. << This is where I get mine >>

Probiotics – specifically Tummy Tune-Up from Beeyoutiful changed my life for the better. I am a strong believer in gut health being the foundation of our whole health. << Get the kind I do here >>

Red Raspberry Leaf Pills – I have been taking this for many years to help regulate and support my cycles and hormones. I typically start taking it a few days before I expect my period, and then until my period ends, each month. << I buy mine from here >>

Iodine Pills – I take this kind << found here >> and it was recommended to me by my naturopath doctor many years ago when I was in the midst of pregnancies/babies and giving birth almost yearly. He said that my thyroid was suffering from a lack of iodine because my uterus/ovaries were “hogging” it all. It helped increase my energy. I still take it in the same way as I do the Raspberry (see above) even though my baby is 4.

Maca Powder – this may be THE best way to support female health naturally that I have ever found! I discovered this a few years ago when I got a free package as a bonus through a bundle of resources I bought and I was BLOWN away by how much it helped me! I have been taking it every day since (except when I ran out before ordering more — and I suffered that month!). It has made my menstrual cramps almost entirely nonexistent, my flow is much lighter, and my period decreased in length by a couple days! I take 1 tsp every day blended into my “bulletproof coffee” every morning. << This is my favorite kind here. >> But, the yellow kind is great, too!

Integral Collagen – this is great for skin, hair, and nail health. It is known to help the bones and the gut, too. Research its benefits! I use it for the protein it provides and I blend it into my morning coffee every single day. << I love and buy this kind here. >>

More Gut Healing & Anti-inflammatory Tips

I drink kombucha and/or water kefir weekly (and almost daily).

I drink water with Raw Apple Cider Vinegar.

I eat fermented foods (sauerkraut, etc.).

I take curcumin/turmeric pills. << this is the kind I take >>

I eat whole foods. In fact, I follow << this >> lifestyle about 80+% of the time and have done so since 2013. I fully agree with the science behind it and can testify to how it has helped me to be healthy & lose weight.

I eat antioxidant-rich foods. I shared about my favorites several years ago in << this >> article.

More Tips For Supporting Female Health Naturally

I exercise using gentle techniques that can be implemented at home and with my busy mom life using routines I learned from << this site >> and have been doing so for several years!

I love the new eCourse that the same site for healthy female bodies has for teaching young girls from 9 to 14 and their moms all about female health in a non-sexual/superficial/immodest way! These are things I had to mostly learn on my own as an adult and I am so thankful for this course “holding my hand” and guiding me through teaching my girls.

I hope you have found this article helpful! Let me know in the comments how you support female health naturally!
