Painful, heavy, missing periods: Ayurveda’s approach and remedies with Dr. Harmony Robinson-Stagg

Kat’s Podcast – Episode no. 51

Welcome to a new episode on my women’s health series!

I’ve invited Harmony Robinson-Stagg to talk about periods and period pain, common causes and remedies, as well as dos and dont’s from an Ayurvedic perspective. Harmony is an expert on this topic as she’s an Ayurveda and Women’s Health practitioner and founder of the Ayurveda Alchemist Academy.

This episode is especially for you if you’re suffering from painful or heavy periods, if you’re missing your period, or if you want to simply feel better while on your menstruation! 

This episode is compact and jam-packed with tips you can apply even before your next period is here.
