Woman – who calls herself a ‘blood witch’ – claims she got rid of hellish menstrual cramps by smearing period blood on her face to ‘anoint her third eye’ – The Sun

A SELF-confessed 'blood witch' has claimed smearing her menstrual blood on her face and lips is ‘empowering’ and helped relieve her cramps.

Yazmina Jade Adler, 26, credits the bizarre practice for getting rid of her period pain, as she invited other woman to ‘connect’ with their bodies.

The 26-year-old appeared on SBS show Medicine or Myth?, to share her alternative healing method, bringing a jar of menstrual blood with her.

Yazmina, from Australia, collects it by using a menstrual cup, and she demonstrated how she uses the blood by smearing it on her face and lips.

But she horrified others on the show, who recoiled in horror as she began painting her face with it.

Yazmina said: “I would normally connect with the blood, and by doing that it instantly does something to me.

“I use blood in a way to connect either through putting it on my hand or anointing it on my third eye.

“Doing this, it has relieved me of discomfort.

“I’ve painted my whole face before. Every time is different.

“I’ve been using this remedy now for about 10 months to a year and my cramping has gone.

“I found is taking that time out, actually be with myself, and meditate, connect with my body, it’s like the pain has gone away.”

She broke down in tears as she described how using her menstrual blood had helped her, saying: “I just want every woman to feel it.

“I know what women go through I know that pain, that shame. I feel for the women who are struggling with this.”

Despite championing the positive effect it’s had on her life, Yazmina says she has received a barrage of abuse online.

After posting videos covered in menstrual blood on social media, Yazmina has had to defend herself, saying she “not asking" anyone else to copy her.

She previously said: “I want to share with all of you why I felt the need to share me placing menstrual blood all over my face.

"And what power it holds for us as women to fully share this part of self which we have been shaming for so many lifetimes.

“Through reclaiming the blood and reclaiming the menstrual cycle, it fully allowed me to embody everything that I was.

“It fully allowed me to have the freedom to express who I was in every way.

“By putting this up on social media, it kind of gave an invitation to people to know that it’s ok to share this part of yourself and it’s not taboo."

But after sharing clips of her 'menstrual facials', Yazmina says people trolled her.

She said: "It’s been hard to face off all of the negative comments on me doing this because it’s for my own sacred ritual and I’m not asking anyone else to do this.

"I’m just saying this has been my experience and it has been really empowering, and it’s felt really good to connect with that part of self.

“I’ve shared this on social media to help build awareness around this, I’m not asking anyone go and to smear blood on their faces.

"That was just my own personal experience and what I felt I wanted to do through ritual.

“Blood is really sacred essence; I invite you all to take a look at that.

“Men out there, it’s a natural thing and without the blood you wouldn’t be here."
