To bring periods early, some natural methods may help, but they are not guaranteed or instant. Common ways include:
- Drinking herbal teas made from parsley, ginger, yarrow, rosemary, or sage, which are mild emmenagogues thought to stimulate menstrual flow.
- Doing light exercise or gentle movement like walking or yoga to increase blood flow and relax uterine muscles.
- Applying heat (e.g., a heating pad) to the lower belly to improve blood flow and relax muscles.
- Eating foods that may help period onset such as pineapple, papaya, turmeric, vitamin C rich fruits (oranges, kiwis), and high-fiber foods like beans and broccoli.
- Having an orgasm, as the pelvic contractions and hormone release might help bring on menstruation earlier.
- Reducing stress through relaxation techniques, since stress can delay periods.
It is important to avoid excessive exercise or drastic dieting, which can delay or stop periods. Only hormonal birth control methods reliably regulate the cycle or induce a period on demand. None of these natural methods guarantees fast results, and one should consult a healthcare professional if periods are irregular or very delayed.
