Painful Period Natural Medicine Support In Perth
Root cause healing for a balanced, pain-free cycle.
Natural Treatment Options For PMDD + PMS
If you experience painful periods, heavy bleeding, or menstrual symptoms that disrupt your daily life, please know you are not alone and that relief is possible. At Floralia Wellness, our women’s health practitioners provide gentle, evidence-based care to help you find comfort, balance, and confidence in your cycle again.
We look beyond the symptoms to understand why your period pain or heavy bleeding is happening. Your personalised plan may include herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, functional hormone testing, and lifestyle support, all thoughtfully designed around your health history, menstrual pattern, and unique needs.
Our team collaborates closely with Perth gynaecologists and women’s health specialists when medical investigations or procedures are needed. This integrated approach ensures that your care feels seamless, supportive, and truly whole-body.
What Counts As A Painful Period?
While mild cramping at the start of your period can be common, severe pain that keeps you from work, study, relationships, or rest is not considered normal. For many women, painful periods are linked to conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, or hormonal imbalances.
Pain that worsens over time, is not relieved by standard pain medication, or occurs alongside heavy bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, or other menstrual irregularities should be assessed by a painful period specialist.
At Floralia, we help you understand what’s normal for your body, identify early signs of imbalance, and create a treatment plan that supports your long-term hormonal health, fertility, and overall wellbeing.
-
Cramping can range from mild discomfort to intense pain, often caused by prostaglandin activity or underlying conditions such as endometriosis or hormonal imbalance.
-
Persistent lower back or pelvic pain may reflect inflammation, uterine tension, or structural issues such as adenomyosis, affecting overall comfort and mobility during your cycle.
-
Fluctuating oestrogen levels can trigger hormonal headaches, nausea, or dizziness before or during menstruation, often improving with balanced hormones and targeted nutritional support.
-
Some women experience sharp or cramping pain during ovulation, known as mittelschmerz. Gentle support can ease inflammation and hormonal fluctuations contributing to this discomfort.
-
Hormonal changes can affect gut motility and fluid retention, leading to bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea that often worsens before or during your period.
-
This may indicate endometriosis or inflammation affecting the bowel and pelvic tissues. We focus on gut support, pain reduction, and restoring pelvic health.
-
Heavy bleeding can be linked to hormonal imbalance, fibroids, or nutrient deficiencies. We support healthy hormone metabolism and iron stores for lighter, more manageable cycles.
-
Hormonal shifts, nutrient depletion, and poor sleep can drain energy and mood. We restore balance through nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, and stress support.
Common Painful Period Symptoms We Help Treat
Every woman’s cycle is unique, but many of our patients share common symptoms that signal deeper hormonal or inflammatory patterns we can help address. Some of these symptoms include:
- Gently balancing hormones with targeted herbal and nutritional support
- Calming inflammation to ease cramping and pelvic discomfort
- Supporting liver detoxification for healthy hormone metabolism
- Restoring nutrient levels to reduce fatigue and heavy bleeding
- Encouraging circulation, movement, and relaxation through lifestyle care
Our Natural + Holistic Approach To Reducing Painful Periods
At Floralia Wellness, we begin by truly listening to your story, your symptoms, menstrual patterns, and health history. Taking the time to understand the full picture helps us identify whether your pain is primary (without a structural cause) or secondary (linked to conditions such as endometriosis or fibroids).
Your personalised care plan may include:
For some women, our approach complements medical treatments such as the contraceptive pill or endometrial ablation. Our focus is always on addressing the root cause while helping you feel more comfortable, balanced, and connected to your body.
Hormone Testing For Painful Periods
At Floralia Wellness, hormone testing plays an important role in understanding the root causes of period pain, heavy bleeding, and irregular cycles. By exploring your unique hormonal patterns, we can see how shifts in oestrogen, progesterone, and adrenal function may be influencing your symptoms. Depending on your presentation, we may recommend:
- Blood hormone testing to assess oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid health, and key inflammatory markers
- Saliva hormone testing to map monthly hormonal fluctuations and adrenal balance from the comfort of your home
- Urine hormone testing (DUTCH Test) to understand how your body metabolises and clears hormones
- Functional testing to explore nutrient deficiencies, thyroid function, and gut health
These advanced insights allow us to create a precise, evidence-based treatment plan that restores balance, reduces discomfort, and supports long-term hormonal wellbeing, particularly valuable for women with endometriosis, fibroids, or complex menstrual disorders.

Painful Period FAQs
-
Mild cramping can be common, but severe pain that interferes with daily life is not normal. Ongoing period pain may signal an underlying condition such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, or another menstrual disorder that deserves thorough assessment and supportive treatment from a women’s health specialist.
-
Yes. Endometriosis symptoms can include severe pain before and during menstruation, heavy menstrual bleeding, painful ovulation, and digestive changes during your cycle. Detecting endometriosis early improves treatment options and can help prevent long-term fertility issues.
-
We use a combination of herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, lifestyle changes, and in some cases hormone testing to address underlying causes. These can be used alongside conventional care from an obstetrics and gynaecology specialist if needed.
-
Yes. A nutrient-rich diet that lowers inflammation and supports hormonal balance can ease cramps and reduce heavy bleeding. For patients with excessive bleeding, including foods high in iron, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids can be especially beneficial.
-
Hormone testing can be an important part of uncovering the root cause of menstrual pain and irregularities. It helps identify imbalances in oestrogen, progesterone, thyroid, or adrenal function, providing insight for a more targeted, personalised treatment plan. Further testing can also be useful if there are also symptoms like infertility, abnormal pap smears, or unexplained fatigue.
-
Yes. Many women prefer natural alternatives to hormonal contraception for managing pain. We use a holistic approach that includes herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle support to regulate hormones, ease inflammation, and improve menstrual health naturally.
-
Magnesium, zinc, vitamin B6, and certain herbal medicines can help relax the uterus, reduce inflammation, and ease cramping. Supplementation should always be tailored to your individual needs, ensuring safety and the best results for your body.
-
Yes. Magnesium supports smooth muscle relaxation and reduces prostaglandin activity, a key cause of menstrual pain. It can significantly reduce both intensity and duration of cramps when used as part of a balanced treatment plan.
-
Yes. Chronic pain or irregular cycles may be linked to conditions such as endometriosis or hormonal imbalance, which can affect fertility. Early investigation and natural treatment can help regulate cycles, reduce inflammation, and optimise reproductive health.
-
Every woman's body heals at its own pace. Many patients notice improvements within two to three menstrual cycles, although those with complex medical conditions or severe pain may require longer-term treatment and lifestyle changes. Our is always to create lasting relief and long-term balance.
