To get a period or induce it, especially if a period is late or irregular, some natural methods that may help include:
- Engaging in moderate exercise to help increase blood flow and regulate hormones.
- Reducing stress through relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing, as stress can delay menstruation.
- Certain foods like papaya, rich in carotene, may help increase estrogen production and stimulate uterine contractions.
- Having an orgasm may help by causing uterine contractions and releasing hormones that can encourage menstruation.
- Drinking herbal teas made from parsley, ginger, or other mild emmenagogues might support menstrual flow, but scientific backing is limited.
- Hormonal birth control is the only reliable medical method to control or induce periods.
It’s important to note these methods are not guaranteed to work, do not induce a first-ever period, and one should consult a healthcare provider if periods are consistently irregular or absent to check for underlying conditions.
