To help make a late period come, there are some natural methods and general lifestyle tips that can be tried safely if pregnancy is ruled out. These include:
- Drinking teas made from mild emmenagogues like parsley, ginger, yarrow, rosemary, or sage, which may stimulate blood flow in the pelvic area and relax the uterus.
- Having an orgasm through sex or masturbation, as the pelvic contractions and hormone release during orgasm can help trigger uterine lining shedding.
- Reducing stress through relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, journaling, or hot baths, since stress can delay periods by impacting hormone regulation.
- Doing moderate exercise to relieve stress and possibly help hormonal balance, but avoiding excessive exercise which may delay periods further.
- Using warm baths or heat therapy to relax muscles and encourage the period to start.
More medically reliable methods include the use of hormonal birth control pills or progesterone supplements prescribed by a doctor to regulate or induce periods. Natural remedies are not guaranteed and effectiveness varies by individual; if the period is significantly late or accompanied by other symptoms, consulting a healthcare provider is recommended.
