About this story 👩
- Theme: feminine well-being & hormonal balance
- Testimonial: Léa, 32, graphic designer
- Goal: ease menstrual pain and emotional tension
- Result: a calmer mind and renewed connection to her body.
Before CBD: the same struggle every month
“I’ve always had extremely painful periods,” says Léa. “Cramps, migraines, mood swings… nothing really helped. Not teas, not painkillers.”
Rien n’y faisait. Ni les tisanes, ni les anti-douleurs classiques ...
The day before her period, Léa [1] would always feel dread building up — an anxious anticipation of the discomfort to come.
“I knew I’d spend two days moving slowly, feeling heavy and achy everywhere.”
It was a friend — a naturopath — who first mentioned CBD, describing it as a natural support to relax muscles and calm the nervous system.
Skeptical but curious, Léa decided to try.
Discovering CBD — first sensations
“I started with a 10% CBD oil, taking a few drops under the tongue, morning and night, for three days before my period.”
Soon, she noticed a change: less abdominal pain, a calmer mind.
“It wasn’t miraculous, but I felt like my body could finally breathe again.”
She added a few drops of CBD oil to her massage routine and took warm baths as part of her new ritual.
Reconnecting with my body
“That moment became real ‘me-time’. More than a product, CBD helped me reconnect with my body — to listen to what it needs.”
A new emotional balance
Beyond pain relief, Léa also noticed a positive effect on her mood — less irritability, less nervous fatigue.
“I manage PMS better now. I anticipate instead of enduring.”
Recent studies suggest that CBD may influence cortisol and prostaglandin regulation, two key factors in stress and pain perception.
Science still has a long way to go, but for many women like Léa, the results speak for themselves.
Thinking of trying it? 💡
- Start with a mild CBD oil (5–10%), in small, regular doses.
- Choose lab-tested, high-quality products.
- Combine CBD use with self-care rituals: warmth, rest, hydration, breathing.
- Above all, listen to your body — it knows what it needs.
