Uterine Fatigue & Restoration Protocol

Understanding Uterine Fatigue

Your menstrual cycle plays a vital role in cleansing the uterus. During menstruation, the uterine arteries open to flush out endometrial tissue, naturally closing after 4–5 days. If these arteries struggle to close, spotting may occur before, after, or throughout your cycle—or your periods may come too close together (less than 28 days apart). This can indicate uterine fatigue, a condition where the uterus is overworked, weakened, and in need of restoration.

What Causes Uterine Fatigue?

  • Stress & Lifestyle: Even if you don’t feel burnt out, chronic stress may be taxing your body.

  • Hormonal Birth Control: IUDs and hormonal implants can harm the uterus, causing cramps and irregular bleeding. Hormonal methods also disrupt your natural rhythm.

  • Synthetic Hormones: Long-term use can weaken uterine function, even after removal.

If symptoms persist after stopping birth control, consider this restoration plan to begin deep healing.

Signs You May Have Uterine Fatigue

  • Spotting between periods

  • Menstrual cycles shorter than 28 days

  • Cramps, irregular bleeding, or exhaustion

  • Infections or pelvic stagnation

If you notice these, it’s best to pause pelvic steaming and focus on uterine healing first.

The Uterine Fatigue Restoration Plan

1. Rest

Prioritize physical and emotional rest. Reduce movement, accept help, and slow down. Deep rest is the foundation of healing.

2. Toning Tea: Herbal Support for Frequent Bleeding

Drink 1–3 cups daily or 3–5x/week depending on severity.

Herbal Blend:

  • 2 tbsp Mugwort

  • 4 tbsp Raspberry Leaf or Astragalus

  • 2 tbsp Nettle

  • 1 tbsp Citrus Peel

  • 1 tbsp Lavender

Check with your herbalist or acupuncturist before use.

3. Acupuncture Support

See a local Chinese Medicine doctor regularly over 3 months. Treatments may include herbs, tinctures, or acupuncture to strengthen the uterus.

4. Avoid Excess Heat Internally

Do not use internal steaming or heating pads if spotting is frequent. For cramp relief, try Evening Primrose Oil.

When to Resume Pelvic Steaming

Once you've had three cycles that are at least 26 days long with no spotting, your uterus is ready to receive steam.
