Does parsley tea really help to make your period come faster?

Answer 1

Yes, parsley can help induce menstruation.

When your period starts is determined by your menstrual cycle, which is essentially a domino effect of changes in your reproductive system controlled by the hormonal changes between your reproductive organs and your brain. You cannot force your menstrual cycle to speed-up or skip phases of your menstrual cycles in order to make your period come sooner than it's due, but if your period is due or overdue then there are methods you can use to help your period start.

Parsley is one of the widest used methods to induce menstruation because it is effective, and more importantly it is a lot safer than some other options - although you should not use parsley in this way if you have kidney problems. The volatile oils in parsley are clinically proven to stimulate the uterus.

To use parsley it is best to use it as a tea, you can use dried parsley tea but it is best to use fresh organic parsley - it's important you use hot water and not boiling, using water that's too hot will counter the benefits, it's also a good idea to use a little honey to make it more palatable. You would drink 4 cups per day until your period shows, more would work best but no need to force yourself to drink a lot.

You can also use parsley vaginally, with this method it is absolutely vital that you use clean organic parsley - as your vagina more easily absorbs toxins such as pesticides into the body, and any dirt could trigger a vaginal infection. You insert a few sprigs of parsley into your vagina, and change every 4 hours.

Parsley is known as a 'helper herb' primarily, meaning it is most effective when used with another method. Most commonly women will use vitamin c with parsley as they compliment each other nicely; vitamin c starves the uterus of progesterone which triggers the breakdown in uterine lining. You would need to take vitamin c in fairly high doses, but not so much as to cause you harm, it is also important to take them at regular intervals as otherwise your body will just filter out the high doses.

There are other things that can help trigger menstruation, for example hot baths and masturbation, but it's important to realise that if your period isn't due then nothing you do will help trigger your period. Unless you use Fertility Awareness Method to track your cycles you won't know exactly when your period is due, you make an estimate based on your past cycles, so you may think that your period is late when in fact it's just later than you predicted. Your body knows what it's doing so in most cases there's no need to induce your period.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

If there is any chance that you might be pregnant you should not use these methods, these methods can trigger miscarriage in early pregnancy, there is also a possibility that these methods may harm the embryo or foetus.
