3. Exercise
Exercise gets blood and oxygen to all parts of your body. Movement is vital to get your lymphatic system flowing. For your pelvic area it is important to use a roller on your IT band, gluts and hamstrings to open up your fascia to get more blood flow. Exercises like yoga and stretching are great to boost your flexibility and circulation. Deep breathing while you move your body is an essential step in relaxing the muscles of your pelvic floor.
4. Nutrition
Eating the right foods for your body type, makes the world of difference. Certain foods are more inflammatory than others. It is critical to eliminate the ones that cause more congestion like processed sugars and foods. Increase more healthy fats (raw butter, organic olive oil, avocado, seeds – all needed to produce hormones), whole foods and water into your diet.
