Supplements & Herbal Support
A supplement that helps with estrogen balance. My naturopath recommended it for hormone support, and I’ve noticed it seems to help regulate my cycle and ease some of the harsher symptoms. Like acne!!
Smart Solutions Estrosmart Veg Capsules 120ct
Helps me with muscle tension and with sleep. I take it daily at night time. (recommended by my naturopath).
CanPrev Magnesium Bis-Glycinate 140 Extra Gentle 240 ...
Ginger has been surprisingly helpful for nausea and cramp relief, as well as helps with bloating! It also apparently is supposed to ease the heaviness of my flow.
NFH Ginger SAP 60 Capsules
I use this mostly around my period for heavy bleeding. It’s an herbal option, but definitely something to check with a healthcare provider about before trying.
Shepherd's Purse
Heavy bleeding can wipe out iron stores fast. Ive tried so many options and they have all given me lots of side effects. Feramax has been a life saver for me with little to no side effects. It helps with energy and prevent that drained, anemic feelin...
FeraMAX Pd Therapeutic 150 Iron Supplement
I take it daily for immune support and to help my body absorb iron better.
Jamieson Chewable Vitamin C 500mg Orange, 120ct
A must-have since I don’t always get enough sun. It supports mood, immunity, and hormone balance.
Jamieson Vitamin D3 1,000 IU Tablets 500ct
Comfort & Pain Relief
My #1 must-have. The heat helps relax cramps and makes lying on the couch feel less miserable. I like this one without a plug so I can bring it on car rides or to work. This one is lavender scented.
Soft Cord Lavender Hot-Pak®
A bit messy but worth it. I use it on my lower belly for 30–45 minutes, it feels soothing and seems to help calm things down.
OPOVE Castor Oil Pack Wrap 2 Pack Organic
When I can, I soak in a warm bath with epsom salts. It relaxes my muscles and feels like a mini reset. These ones are my favourite, however you can get some at shoppers and they work just as good!
Muscle Melt
The pressure can be grounding when I’m in pain or anxious. It doesn’t “fix” symptoms but makes rest a little more bearable.
Wemore 7lbs Weighted Lap Blanket 24x29in
Not a cure, but I find rolling a bit on my temples or belly helps me relax when I’m tense or nauseous. The ritual of it is soothing, too.
Pocket Farmacy® Physical Edition
This cream has a cooling/warming effect that feels amazing on sore muscles and cramps. I rub a little on my lower back or belly when I need extra relief. It honestly works better than Tylenol or Advil!
Deep Blue Rub Lotion | doTERRA Essential Oils
Tracking & Awarenes
This app has been a game changer for me. I like using Flo to log symptoms and track my cycle. It helps me see patterns I wouldn’t remember otherwise, and I can share notes with my doctor when needed. Which helps me advocate for my health.

Anything that doesn’t dig into my stomach makes a huge difference, especially on bloated days. I basically live in these during flare-ups. High waisted and leak proof. Holds up to 3 super
Tampons!
LeakStrong™ Leakproof Legging
Hydration makes a difference for bloating and fatigue. I keep one with me all day so I don’t forget. I prefer a straw waterbottle so I can use it for ice coffee too.
Simple Modern Plastic Tumbler 24oz Lavender
On days when I can move, light stretches help loosen my hips and lower back. I usually just find a quick YouTube routine for endo-friendly yoga.
Yoga for Cramps and PMS | 20-Minute Home Yoga
I wear these as underwear especially on my heaviest days. Which if you have endo you know how important it is to have leak proof options.
