    CBD for Period Pain: What Is Known So Far

    Not again?! Your lower abdomen is aching, your head hurts, your stomach feels queasy and you would rather spend the whole day in bed. Menstrual complaints have many faces and are experienced differently from person to person. Although almost 50% of the total population is affected, periods were long considered a taboo subject. People who menstruate were left alone with their experiences. That is why it is important to us at MAGU to remove the taboo from the topic of periods and to continue the discussion to raise awareness. In this article we show you how CBD can support you during your period in a natural way. Say goodbye to ibuprofen and co.!

    Magu and CBD

    The topic of periods is very important at MAGU – after all, it made a major contribution to the founding of MAGU. Sofie Sagmeister, co-founder of the first established CBD flower shop in the EU, was looking for a natural way to relieve her menstrual complaints at the time and came across the relaxing effect of CBD. That is also why we have taken these topics into account in our product development from the very beginning and why we are committed to bringing new products onto the market that can support people with their menstrual complaints. This mentality can be felt not only in production but also in how MAGU treats its employees. Period products in the toilets, being excused for period pain and CBDeus always within reach in the fridge – these are things taken for granted at MAGU that probably no employee would want to do without.

    How CBD can help with menstrual complaints

    The term menstrual complaints covers symptoms that occur mainly before, during or after the period. The pain arises because, during menstruation, the muscles in the lower abdomen contract to allow the lining of the uterus to be shed. At the keyword “contract”, a bell is probably already ringing for some CBD connoisseurs, because CBD is known above all for its relaxing and antispasmodic properties. That is also the reason why CBD supports so many people during their period. Those who suffer from endometriosis in particular report that CBD products relieve their complaints so that they can do without painkillers. In addition, many customers report a mood-lifting effect. Through this effect, mood changes triggered by natural hormonal fluctuations can also be stabilised.


    Use

    When it comes to using our CBD products, the old saying really applies: the proof of the pudding is in the eating! Try out what suits you best and what can be integrated most easily into your everyday life. Still – a few tips never hurt! In the area of periods and CBD, a number of rituals have built up among MAGU employees over the last few years, which we are happy to share with you here. 

    One of our favourite products for periods is the CBDeus Serum Full Spectrum 5%. Thanks to our patented formula, we have succeeded in producing CBD in water-soluble form as well. Our CBDeus line can also be absorbed well through the skin. If your lower abdomen hurts, we recommend applying 2-3 pumps of the serum to the affected area. You should also massage the CBDeus in well and let it take effect. As an absolute mood booster, you can also let the sun shine on your tummy – that way you top up your vitamin D stores at the same time. If that isn’t possible, the hot-water bottle will have to do. 

    Some of our employees also swear by our CBD oil. In general, it is best to start taking it 2-4 days before your period begins. However, especially for people who have never come into contact with CBD before, we recommend taking it regularly over several cycles at the beginning. By the way, you can also drip our CBD oil directly onto a tampon. The oil can be absorbed very locally and spread its soothing effect there. For pleasant warmth from the inside, you can make yourself (or have someone make you :-)) a cup of our hemp tea. Our CBD Gummies go wonderfully with it.
