What Do Menopause, Detox and Donating Blood Have In Common?
More than you think.
While I’ve come to appreciate my moon cycle for what it is. A detox! I will give a toast to thee end of Aunt Flow from Redlands monthly visits. Since the age of 13, she’s been around. I was not blessed to have one or more 9-month (pregnancy) breaks, instead, I was given longer heavier cycles, and even more so as I near the finish line.
I knew that menstruation was a form of detox, a shedding of the uterine lining in preparation for a fertilized egg. However, I am now seeing a grander purpose for it, one that could very well be another reason women tend to live longer than men. The other reason being that we cry more. A physical and emotional form of detox.
To the women still in the thick of menstruating/ovulating… experiencing heavy cycles? There may be emotional causes to them.
“I always ask my patients with heavy bleeding if they are leaking their life’s blood into any dead-end job or relationship that doesn’t fully meet their needs. Are you giving more than you are receiving in return? Is someone or something draining your energy by being a kind of Dracula? Take some time alone, sit right down on the earth, and pray for guidance and a boost of energy for yourself.” ~Dr. Christiane Northrup, M.D. author of, Wisdom of Menopause~
Our monthly cycle helps keep our blood clean. A great way to prepare the perfect environment for conception. Male or non-pregnant females, there are many advantages to having clean blood, some include: minimizing pain, helping prevent heart attack, stroke, cancer and more, but also to help the body heal itself of anything.
“Hemochromatosis is too much iron in the body. It is also called iron overload.” ~National Library of Medicine~
Considered a genetic disorder. The excess iron from Hemochromatosis is stored mostly in the liver, but also in the heart, ovaries, testes, pancreas and even the skin causing a bronzing effect. It has also been known to cause Diabetes. This blood disorder affects more Caucasions of Northern European decent more than any other. According to my male friend that has it, it is more common in men than women. Though, as I read more, it seems to present itself in men first, around the age of 40+, and women after 50 – after menopause.
Symptoms vary. Consider having yourself tested. If positive, it gives you a headstart on treating it, which can easily be done by donating blood. Liver cleanses help too. As does being careful of iron rich foods and cast iron pots and pans. I stopped using my cast iron pan daily (a year or so ago), after reading about iron overload and the increased risk for heart disease in women after menopause.
With us women, our cycles kept the iron from building up in blood – it also helped it from becoming thick, stagnant, and dirty. This is why detox is so important once we enter menopause. If cycles have ceased, more reason to detox. At the very least, donate blood regularly.
Menopause, although a wonderful change in life, is not to be taken lightly. These are old-school, no fluff remedies. Not doing regular detox at any age age can do more than create stale, stagnant, thick and dirty blood.
There’s a reason why bloodletting, the ancient form of phlebotomy/blood drawing worked. It was done to treat patients – it apparently seems to be making a comeback. Whether to relieve pressure, get the blood moving or get the dirty blood out, the reasons varied but the results were the same – it worked! While researching more info following my brother’s stroke, I came across pulling on the ears and piercing a finger to release the pressure of the blood going to the brain. Fascinatingly, common sense, simple!!
“Bloodletting is one of the humanity’s oldest medical practices, dating back thousands of years and linked to many ancient cultures, including the Mayans, Aztecs, Egyptians and Mesopotamians. The typical purpose was to cure a person suffering from some kind of infirmity (leprosy, plague, pneumonia, stroke, inflammation, herpes, acne – pretty much anything). The patient was pierced or cut and then drained of several ounces of blood until they fainted.” ~Medtech.edu~
