Women Uses Period Blood To Water Her House Plants

For many women, menstrual cycles are usually a regular monthly thing that many of us prefer to keep to ourselves. However, there's one woman who's not afraid to share her period experiences openly, and she's taking it to the extreme by using her menstrual blood to nourish her plants.

According to her, using her menstrual blood is her unique way of giving back to the Earth. She passionately describes her time of the month as something "magical." In fact, she goes so far as to claim that watering her plants with her blood has connected her deeply with nature and miraculously relieved her from the often painful periods she used to have.

From Study Finds: 

Jessica Mckasson, 37, used to struggle with painful and heavy periods that meant she would have to take time off from work. She started looking into shamanism – a religious practice – and reconnected with her body after reading about the ancient traditions and the importance of the womb.

Now she aligns her body to her cycle, to follow the stages of menstruation, and no longer experiences any pain when menstruating. Mckasson practices an ancient tradition by collecting her menstrual blood each month and uses it to water her plants — saying it’s “good” for them.

“I used to experience the most painful, heavy periods. Now I have zero pain,” says Jessica, a menstrual cycle syncing coach, in an online video.

“I hear my own womb and I have experiences of ecstasy and magic. It can be magical. I collect my blood in my menstrual cup and empty it into a bottle and dilute it with water,” the 37-year-old explains.

“I go outside and express my gratitude for Mother Nature. It’s sacred and something celebrated. It’s truly the most beautiful gift,” Jessica adds.

Jessica says she used to “cry” herself to sleep before she improved her relationship with her body by looking into shamanism.

“It led me on a deep journey. Sharman’s believe a woman’s womb is the most important and powerful thing. Before, I had never understood what it means to be a woman,” Mckasson continues.

“I grew up never talking about periods and thinking it was a disadvantage. But women’s blood is a symbol of abundance and health. My body is creating something – creating life. It’s truly mind blowing.”

To be honest, all of this seems a bit eccentric to me, but if it brings her and her plants joy, then I guess it's her thing.
