Struggling with period pain? You’re not alone.
It’s hard for people who have never experienced it to understand quite how debilitating it can be. Period pain could have you feeling nauseas, and even doubled over in pain, and yet, despite this, we’re expected to go about our normal day.
Without outside help, we have to look within.
How liver health impacts period pain
The liver plays a big role in hormone balance. The liver metabolises nutrients to fuel the body, filters toxins from the blood, regulates blood sugar, supports immunity, and produces bile for digestion. When its function is impaired, serious health issues can arise. When the liver is overwhelmed (perhaps from too much alcohol, stress, processed foods, medication, etc), it’s not going to do its job the way it should. This has a knock-on effect on the whole body, including hormone balance.
Hormone imbalance can lead to irregular periods, heavier flows, period pain, mood swings, bloating, and inflammation. One common culprit? Oestrogen dominance, a condition where oestrogen levels are disproportionately high compared to progesterone. This imbalance can intensify period symptoms like cramping, breast tenderness, and heavy bleeding.
“When estrogen levels are too high at any stage of the cycle, it is usually the result of the liver recycling estrogen, rather than detoxifying it. The liver has to change estrogen before it can be eliminated, but if the biochemical pathways for estrogen detoxification are congested and are too busy dealing with other “liver-loaders”, then the estrogen gets recycled.” - Dr Libby.
So, what’s the solution?

How coffee enemas can help support your liver health
There are many ways you can support your liver health. Eating well, exercising, and cutting down on alcohol will certainly help. The fastest and most effective way to super charge your liver function? It’s time to try coffee enemas.
“I initially began doing coffee enemas to relieve chronic constipation. But about three months in, I noticed something unexpected - my period pain had completely disappeared. It's funny how we’re quick to notice pain, but not always its absence. I was stunned. I used to take a day off work almost every month because of the pain, and suddenly, I was pain-free. Not long after, I fell pregnant with my son after years of struggling with PCOS. I’ll always be grateful for what coffee enemas did for me.” – Kyah Seary
Coffee enemas help boost liver bile and stimulating liver function. They can increase glutathione production, the master detox antioxidant in the body but up to 700% which is an absolute game changer for your hormones. This bile stimulation enhances the liver’s ability to detoxify excess oestrogen, preventing it from being reabsorbed into the bloodstream, a key factor in reducing oestrogen dominance and its associated period symptoms.
Another way to support liver health is by drinking or doing an enema with Happy Liver Tea. Herbs like dandelion, burdock, nettle, and liquorice root help your liver flush out toxins and support the liver and kidneys. This helps in reducing skin dullness, blemishes, fluid retention and bloating. Packed with antioxidants and nutrients, they support clear, radiant skin and healthy balanced hormones. You’ll find them all in our Happy Liver tea, perfect as a herbal enema or a tasty tea to drink.
Prioritising the health of your liver is going to help regulate your hormones, which means less pain, better moods, and more predictable cycles.
If you’re new to coffee enemas, we’re here to help. You’ll be surprised at how easy they are and how quickly they’ll become part of your normal routine!
