Woman Drinks Her Menstrual Blood And Applies It On Her Face As Make-up

A mother and wife has confessed that she collects, consumes, and applies her menstrual blood to her skin to improve her bodily and spiritual health.

Jasmine Alicia Carter, 30, from Barcelona, Spain says she applies her fresh menstrual blood as a facemask and creates ‘period paintings’ with her blood and that her husband approves of it.

The mother-of-one is a Sacred Woman’s Empowerment Mentor who helps and coaches women ‘to understand and reclaim the inherent sacredness that lies within their entire menstrual cycle.’

‘Understanding and reclaiming my period has given me a whole new appreciation for myself and for women,’ she said.

She also uses her own menstrual blood to create art and revealed that she mixes it with water to create different tones.

‘We are here because of our vaginas and our blood and women don’t take enough credit for that.’

‘Instead, throughout time, women have been taught to feel ashamed of our periods.’

‘If you look at tampons and sanitary pads, they’re floral scented and full of chemicals to hide our blood and compromise the natural functioning of our periods.

‘But in reality, your menstrual blood is highly packed with all the nutrients that we need.’

She argues that menstrual blood contains all of the nutrients that women require, including protein, iron, copper, and selenium.

She claims that her blood is so ‘clean’ that she no longer needs to strain it and can paint with it right away.

She believes that rubbing her cheeks with menstruation blood has improved her skin.

‘It’s rich with protein, iron, copper, selenium which many women are so depleted of. It contains regenerative stem cells and it has antimicrobial as well as detoxifying properties.’

‘Your menstrual blood is pure medicine. If you can collect you period blood, there are so many things you can do with it and ways it can benefit your health and wellbeing.’

‘When I drink my period blood, I will usually squat on the toilet, remove my menstrual cup and take a sip. I’m so connected to my body that I know exactly how much blood to drink.’

‘Sometimes it’s just a sip and sometimes it’s a whole menstrual cup because I need more nutrients.’

‘In regards to drinking your period blood, there is a disclaimer that you need to be in good health to drink it.’

‘Your period blood won’t as good if you’re eating junk food everyday for example because your nutrients will be poor. But when you’re in tune with your period, then you know how much you need to drink and can feel the benefits.’

‘Your menstrual blood is also fantastic for skincare, and I love period face masks,’ Jasmine, who lives with her husband Suriya and their 2-year-old son Rav, added. It felt so natural when I first put my fresh menstrual blood on my face. The feeling is very refreshing and cooling on the skin.’

Suriya, Jasmine’s husband, is used to seeing his wife wearing a menstrual blood face mask around the house.

‘Now I just go around our house with my period face mask on my face and my husband is so used to it. Although I’ve never had major skin issues, I can y skin looks at its best now because of these face masks.’

Jasmine acknowledges that not all women are comfortable drinking or applying their menstrual blood to their faces.

Women, on the other hand, can learn to understand and appreciate their periods by painting with them and returning their monthly blood to the land as a natural fertilizer,’ she explains.

‘I don’t expect everyone to be obsessed with their period blood the way I am. But I do encourage women to collect and observe their menstrual blood to see what it can tell them about their health.’

Ancient women would squat down and give their period blood to the earth to connect with nature, according to the menstruation coach, who also encourages modern women to get rid of period guilt.

Jasmine claims she squats on the toilet, removes her menstrual cup, and takes a sip of her period blood.

‘I also encourage women to give their period back to nature and feel that connection with the earth. Your menstrual blood is an incredible fertilizer to give back to plants.’

‘In the past, women would squat down and give their period blood to the earth to connect themselves to nature. Before women were taught to feel ashamed of our periods, ancient cultures were aware of the womb’s wisdom.’

‘I also love creating paintings with my period blood. It’s a really beautiful practice.’

‘I used to have to strain my menstrual blood beforehand or mix it with a blender to make it into something to paint.’

According to scientists, a woman’s menstruation contains mucous lining, germs, and uterine tissue.

A modest amount of disease-free blood will not harm you when you drink it. However, ingesting more than a few teaspoons puts you in danger of iron excess, which can lead to hemochromatosis, a potentially fatal condition.

Hemochromatosis is a disorder in which the body accumulates too much iron, which it cannot eliminate, placing strain on organs and causing irreversible damage or death.
