The Power of the Womb
Why Womb Wellness Matters for Women Over 35
Sis, let’s talk about something that doesn’t get enough attention—your womb. Whether you’ve had babies, never been pregnant, or are done with your reproductive years, your womb is still the center of your health and energy. It’s not just about periods, fibroids, or menopause. It’s about how you feel in your body, how you move through the world, and how you care for yourself as a woman.
So many of us go through life disconnected from our womb space—pushing through cramps, ignoring heavy cycles, or brushing off signs of imbalance or dis-ease. But your womb is trying to tell you something. Let’s get into why womb wellness matters, especially for women over 35, and what you can start doing today to nourish this sacred space.
The Role of the Womb in Women’s Health
Your womb does more than just carry babies or regulate your cycle. It’s the foundation of your:
✔ Hormonal balance – When your womb is out of sync, you might experience fatigue, mood swings, or irregular periods.
✔ Emotional well-being – Ever noticed how emotions hit harder before your period. Your womb holds onto stress, trauma, and emotions.
✔ Overall health – Fibroids, PCOS, and endometriosis are often signs of deeper imbalances in the body, like poor gut health or chronic stress.
For too long, we’ve been taught to ignore our wombs unless we’re having a baby. But this space is a reflection of how well we care for ourselves, and it deserves our attention.
Common Womb Health Issues for Women Over 35
As we mature, our bodies change—and so do our wombs. If you’re over 35, you might notice:
✅ Fibroids or cysts – More than 80% of Black women develop fibroids by age 50. They’re common, but they don’t have to be your normal.
✅ Irregular or painful periods – If your cycle is suddenly unpredictable, heavier, or more painful, your hormones might need some support.
✅ Perimenopause symptoms – Mood swings, hot flashes, sleep issues? Your womb is adjusting to a new phase, and it needs care now more than ever.
Ignoring these changes won’t make them go away. The key is to support your womb through food, movement, and intentional care.
Practical Steps for Daily Womb Care
You don’t need a complicated regimen to start nurturing your womb. Here are three simple ways to reconnect:
💜 Nourish Your Womb with the Right Foods
Leafy greens like kale and spinach help balance estrogen.
Flaxseeds and avocados support hormone regulation.
Herbal teas like red raspberry leaf and nettle strengthen the uterus.
💜 Move with Your Womb in Mind
Gentle yoga or stretching releases tension stored in the pelvic area.
Pelvic steaming (yoni steaming) helps cleanse and relax the womb.
Deep breathing reduces cortisol, which directly affects your cycle.
💜 Emotional Womb Healing
Place your hands on your womb each morning, breathe deeply and speak loving affirmations to yourself.
Journal about how you feel in your body.
Release old emotions—cry, dance, shake it away or meditate if needed.
Your womb is powerful. The more you listen to it, the more it will tell you what it needs.
Conclusion: It’s Time to Prioritize Your Womb Health
Sis, your womb isn’t just something you “deal with” every month. It’s the core of your vitality, intuition, and well-being. The more care you give it, the more balanced and at peace you’ll feel.
