Episode 8: How Herbs Can Help You Manage Endometriosis, Living with Primary Dysmenorrhea and Why It's Okay to Take Prescription Pills If You Need To with Natasha Richardson of Forage Botanicals


Listen Later

This week on This EndoLife Podcast, I'm talking to herbalist, Natasha Richardson, founder of the gorgeous Forage Botanicals.

Forage Botanicals is all about supporting women to have better periods, through herbal medicine and other natural methods of self-care. Natasha has suffered with primary dysmenorrhea for nine years and during this time, she's gone on a journey of trying to mange her pain through herbal and natural remedies and more conventional treatments, like metamorphic acid. As a result of her experiences, her research into the history of women's health and the stories of her clients, Natasha has tailored Forage Botanicals to help women feel empowered about their cycle, to help them to really understand it, work with it and reduce the negative symptoms of conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids and PMS.

In this episode, we're talking about why society rejects women's natural hormonal rhythm, how to use our hormones to our own benefit, how natural treatments can help manage endometriosis and why you shouldn't feel guilty for taking a painkiller!

Natasha has also kindly offered £100 off her The Joyful Period course with discount code: ENDOLIFE. All you have to do is type in ENDOLIFE at the check out to receive your discount. PLEASE NOTE THIS COURSE IS AVAILABLE IN EUROPE ONLY. If you really would like to attend the course but live outside of Europe, please email Natasha via her website and she may be able to arrange something.
