So, I’ve always had bad periods. When I was younger I would throw up every twenty minutes the first day and would cramp very badly on the second. I no longer throw up, but I still have gotten very bad cramps for the first two days the past 20-something years since college. I also get very cranky and my breasts get very tender. Lastly, I also bleed so heavy on my first two days that I sometimes leak even though I’m wearing very heavy pads. It’s so bad, that I can often feel globs of blood coming out of me.

A few weeks ago, for reasons having nothing to do with my period, I started drinking a mixture of water, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and cranberry juice. When I had my period this past week, I did not have ONE SINGLE cramp. Nothing. Nada. My breasts were not sore, AT ALL. And my flow was light enough that could wear a regular pad all day and night every day.

Y’all, if I could have been having periods like this all along, imagine how little it would have affected my life! I will be drinking this for the rest of my life, if for no other reason than to be a normal person during my period. Yay!!!
