Ever heard of "a cold uterus/womb"?

 Ok, seriously..

If it did not happen to me, I would not have known what is a cold uterus..

So, apparently..

In China, they call the uterus, “a woman’s inner palace” and “palace of the child”.

It’s called a palace because it’s the place to create and nurture a future generation – the next sons and daughters. It’s a sacred place that needs special care and attention.

Many of the menstrual dis harmonies such as painful periods, endometriosis, dysfunctional uterine bleeding and infertility can be avoided and healed by taking better care of this inner palace – the uterus. > they said so :D
A cold uterus is when

“Cold womb” means that the uterine lining fails to respond to the warming hormone, progesterone. Women with this condition usually have slow rising and/or early declining BBT (Basal Body Temperature). Cold hands and feet, cramps helped by a heating pad, lower back pain, low libido, frequent urination and early morning loose stools are also symptomatic of this condition. “Cold womb” not only causes the wrong temperature for the embryo to grow, like a seed growing in chilly weather, but also congeals the blood inhibiting uterine circulation. The focus of treatment is to warm the uterus, which in turn maintains progesterone at satisfactory levels. This not only helps metabolic activity, but also allows the uterus to secrete sufficient nutrients, and thereby creates a highly nurturing environment in which to implant the embryo.

How to care for 'your palace'??

Here are 15 little tips to help you take better care of your uterus, so you can enjoy a harmonious and healthy menstrual cycle.

1. Avoid products that contain xenoestrogen, which can reduce the elasticity of the uterine wall, making it thinner and more fragile.

Here’s a list of 10 major sources of xenoestrogens:

– Commercially-raised meat and diary products such as beef, pork, chicken, milk, butter, cheese and ice cream.

– Anything that contains insecticide or pesticide residues can also have estrogenic effects. This includes everything we eat from grains, fruits, nuts and legumes, to veggies.

– Tap water. Try to drink filtered water whenever possible.

– Shampoos, lotions, soaps, toothpastes, cosmetics and other personal care products that contain paraben , chemical compounds widely used by cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries as preservatives.

– Soft plastics used as packaging materials are often treated with chemical compounds called phthalates, a xenoestrogen, to increase its flexibility.  So do not heat food or water with plastic in the microwave. Avoid drinking coffee or other hot liquids in Styrofoam cups. Try to store your food in glass containers whenever possible.

– Artificial food additives, including artificial sweeteners and MSG.
Also avoid canned foods, which are usually lined with a plastic coating that contains bisphenol-A (BPA), a xenoestrogen.  Try to cut back on processed and packaged foods.

–  Foods that contain soy protein and soy protein isolate.  Eat organic soybeans, edamame, tofu or tempeh instead.

– Tumble dryer sheets are loaded with xenoestrogens to make your clothes feel soft and fresh. Use a natural liquid fabric softener or ½ cup of baking soda in the rinse cycle instead

2. Having numerous sexual partners increases the chances of pelvic inflammation.

3. Eat plenty of cold water fish rich in Omega-3 fatty acids such as mackerel and salmon, which helps reduce the secretion of prostaglandin – a hormone-like substance that can make the uterus contract too hard, causing pain and increasing the chances of a malpositioning of the uterus.

4. Exercise your pelvic muscles. Experts say that swimming is the best exercise to strengthen the uterus, and that swimming two hours per week can reduce back pain, relieve period pain and make childbirth easier. If you don’t have a swimming pool near by, try pelvic exercise weights. They’re just as effective.

5. Avoid using birth control pills for extended periods of time. Research has shown that using birth control pills continuously for over eight years can interrupt the body’s natural hormone balance and increases the chances of developing fibroids. Check out 10 birth control options without the pills.

6. Have a clean sexual partner. Research in England found that the chances of a woman developing a pelvic inflammatory disease are reduced by 70% when her sexual partner cleans his private part before sexual intimacy. Experts say that many bacteria that can lead to pelvic infection are carried in the folds of the male penis.

7. Don’t hold your urine. Holding urine can make waste materials accumulate in the bladder possibly causing bladder infection, which can also lead to vaginal and pelvic infection, due to their close proximity. Additionally, a habitually enlarged bladder can cause undue pressure on the uterus, causing it to move out of position.

8. Quit smoking. Research in England discovered that cancer-causing substances in cigarettes tend to concentrate in the body fluids around the cervix. Long-term smoking can have a dangerously harmful effect on the uterus.

9. Maintain a healthy body weight. Lacking adequate body fats to hold the uterus in place can result in a prolapsed or dropped uterus, which increases the chances of pelvic infections and period pain.

10. Don’t sit for too long. Sitting at your desk for too long without adequate exercise inhibits the healthy blood and energy circulation in the pelvic area. This can cause the thickening of the uterine wall and increase the chances of endometriosis. So get up and move around every hour or so.

11. Massage your abdomen with rose essential oil. This is a uterine care routine that’s popular in China and Korea. Put two drops of rose essential oil into your palm. Warm it up by rubbing your palms together. Then push your palms from your rib cage area toward your uterus. Massage it for a few times until the area gets a little warm. This is an excellent massage to prevent and relieve period pain.

12. Keep your uterus warm. Cold accumulated in the uterus is a common cause of painful periods and fertility issues. So avoid consuming raw and cold foods and drinks during your periods. And wear enough clothes to keep your body and your uterus warm.

13. Have a nutritious breakfast with whole grains.

14. Pay attention to your vaginal discharge. Excessive, watery, cottage cheese-like, yellow, smelly or other abnormal vaginal discharges are early indications of a possible dysfunction of the uterus.

15. Improve the immunity of your uterus. Lemon is rich in vitamin C and can help improve the immunity of the uterus from external bacteria. So start drinking a cup of warm lemon water in the morning.
