Woman Claims That Drinking Menstrual Blood & Applying It On The Face Has Improved Her Overall Health

A woman has shared how she applies her menstrual blood on the face, uses it to paint and also drinks it because apparently, it improves her overall health.

This woman named Jasmine Alicia Carter says that doing things like applying fresh menstrual blood to her face and creating ¡®period paintings¡¯ has improved her physical and spiritual health.

The 30-year-old woman is a mother of one and is a mentor who coaches women "to understand and reclaim the inherent sacredness that lies within their entire menstrual cycle."

She has also created the Sacress Menstrual Cup, founded the Menstrual Art Movement, and says in no uncertain terms that periods are her life.

She said: ¡®Understanding and reclaiming my period has given me a whole new appreciation for myself and for women. "We are here because of our vaginas and our blood and women don¡¯t take enough credit for that. ¡®Instead throughout time, women have been taught to feel ashamed of our periods."

¡®If you look at tampons and sanitary pads, they¡¯re floral scented and full of chemicals to hide our blood and compromise the natural functioning of our periods.¡¯

She claims that period blood is ¡®highly-packed with nutrients¡¯ such as protein, iron and stem cells ¨C and adds there are so many ways you can use it if you choose to collect it.

"When I drink my period blood," she explains, "I will usually squat on the toilet, remove my menstrual cup and take a sip. I¡¯m so connected to my body that I know exactly how much blood to drink. ¡®Sometimes it¡¯s just a sip, and sometimes it¡¯s a whole menstrual cup because I need more nutrients."

Regarding drinking your period blood, there is a disclaimer that you need to be in good health to drink it. ¡®Your period blood won¡¯t as good if you¡¯re eating junk food every day, for example, because your nutrients will be poor. But when you¡¯re in tune with your period, then you know how much you need to drink and can feel the benefits.¡¯

She also applies period face masks on her face. She says: ¡®I love period face masks. When I first put my fresh menstrual blood on my face, it felt so natural. The feeling is very refreshing and cooling on the skin. ¡®Now I just go around our house with my period face mask on and my husband is so used to it. Although I¡¯ve never had major skin issues, I can definitely feel that my skin looks at its best now because of these face masks.¡¯

She says that she even paints with the blood. I used to have to strain my menstrual blood beforehand or mix it with a blender to make it into something to paint. "But after becoming attuned with my periods, my blood is so clean now that I can paint with it immediately and just dilute it with water for different tones."
