What Does Your Period Color Mean
enstrual blood comes in a range of different colours but an expert claims, if you know what you’re looking for, the shade of red can actually give you an insight into your health. Mariah Rose, a Menstrual Health Coach living in Vermont, uses four fruits to describe the difference in the colours of healthy period blood cherries, cranberries, raspberries and strawberries – and said that you should also note the consistency.
She claims that knowing the difference between a healthy colour and not can help women identify the signs they could be producing either too much or too little oestrogen – a key reproductive hormone. The period coach said that dark red blood, that looks like cherries, could be a sign of excess oestrogen, while light pink blood, like raspberries, could be a sign you don’t have enough oestrogen.
