A woman who drinks her period blood says the practice improves her health and well-being.
Jasmine Alicia Carter, 30, from Barcelona, also claims that applying her fresh blood as a face mask and creating “period paints” with her blood improved her spiritual and physical health.
This mother-of-one is an influencer who helps women “understand the inherent sanctity of their menstrual cycle. »
“Understanding my menstrual cycle and collecting my blood has given me a whole new appreciation for myself and women,” she said.
“We exist thanks to our v*gins and our blood, and women don’t have enough merit for that. Instead, over time, women have been taught to be ashamed of their period. »
“If you look at tampons and sanitary napkins, they are flower scented and full of chemicals to hide our blood and compromise the natural functioning of our periods. But in reality, menstrual blood is filled with all the nutrients we need.
It is rich in protein, iron, copper and selenium, all elements that are lacking in women. It contains regenerative stem cells and has antimicrobial properties. Your period is pure medicine. If you can collect your menstrual blood, there are so many things you can do with it and how it can benefit your health and well-being. »
“When I drink my period blood, I usually squat down on the toilet, remove my menstrual cup and take a sip. I am so connected to my body that I know exactly how much blood to drink. Sometimes it’s just a sip and sometimes it’s an entire menstrual cup because I need more nutrients. »
Jasmine, who lives with her husband Suriya and their 2-year-old son Rav, regularly uses her period as a face mask.
“Menstruation blood is also excellent for skin care. The first time I put my fresh menstrual blood on my face, it felt so natural. The feeling is very refreshing on the skin. »
“Now I walk around the house with my mask on my face and my husband is so used to it. Although I’ve never had any major skin issues, I feel my skin is looking its best from these masks. »
Jasmine also paints with her rules. “I like to create paintings with the blood of my periods. It is a truly magnificent practice. »
The young woman is the founder of the ‘Menstrual Art Movement’. “My passion and love for my period has become a business and I’m very proud of it. Rules are my life. »
