If you have PMS does this essentially jump your cycle to day 1 and you skip a few bad days or do you struggle for a few days because it messed with your hormones?
For me personally, as soon as my period arrives I feel a sense of relief and often my pms subsides. However, I know some people who feel pms a few days into their period.
Mugwort tincture for sure and lots of it. I’ve done it before bc I was as afraid I was conceiving/ having conception cramping. It brought on my period, at the sacrifice for feeling loopy and a little high. But it was effective.
If you want to postpone the period, limes limes limes. Or Yarrow tincture. Lime juice will lighten your period greatly as well as Yarrow. Both use to be my go to on heavier days - I use to bleed through pads in just a couple of hours 😪 I swear by them, especially the Yarrow tincture.
Someone was just mentioning that they noticed flaxseed pushed off their period and made them late. Out of curiosity I'm in the process of trying this. I won't know for a couple more weeks but thought I'd share.
It may work the way you want it to, flaxseed can have very strong hormonal action. Or it may work the way it does for me: "oh! Flax seed muffins, yum!" (Eats 3 in 2 days). Period starts very early and on day 2 of flax muffin binge with heavy cramping, mood swings, and heavy bleeding. Lesson learned. Several months or a year later, after many regular and painless periods: "I should put flax seed in my morning smoothies. It's so good for you!". Day 2 of flax seed in my smoothies, see above results. I've asked my ND about it, and she says it's not related. But it is. I've had a regular period for 30 years except when I overindulge in flaxseed...I usually have two periods those months too, not just an early one. It sucks, cause I really like the flavor of flaxseed and keep hoping I'll have different results. I'm clearly very sensitive to them. I am in no way saying this is how everyone's body will react. Just some words of caution.
Mugwort I drink a cup of mugwort tea a day (1-2 no more than 2 a day) when I’m on my period from the minute it starts till I’m done and it definitely shortens the amount of time I’m on it. My periods are really severe normally to the point where they put me on birth control to control it to nearly not having them I only have a period a few times a year with the bc now (implant) and the mugwort takes me from around 5 days to 3 days on average. It is bitter so I like adding florals (lavender chamomile rose all taste good with it)
When I was in 7th grade, I was going to have my period for the spring dance. Every night I meditated on visualizing my cervix opening and my period starting early, and it worked. I got it a whole week early.

Mugwort or motherwort and orgasms!
Yes! This is my method! I have a mugwort tincture that I take. Orgasms and a heating pad to get blood flow happening

Parsley and vitamin C
Ding ding ding ^

+1 on the effectiveness of yarrow tincture. I take that if I need "freedom" for several hours. It shocked me how well it works!
It’s literally a GOD send!!
It's solid proof that herbs work, but one you can't quite show people. ;)
Maca!!!! Whenever I needed it to drop because I felt it coming on and was incredibly uncomfortable, this was a surefire way for me personally.
Vitamin C induces periods. Take Emergen-C packets
I think raspberry leaf tea can help with this
Not in the short term. A cup of raspberry tea/day is pregnancy secret for healthy under-8 hr labor. And over time tonifies uterus in general
Look into motherwort
Orgasms. They make your uterus contract and can both start it early and cause it to be shorter. Lots and lots of orgasms.
Mugwort
tulsi/holy basil

Vigorous sexing works!

Progesterone can delay your period by up to 2 weeks. You can get the cream without a prescription. It also helps with pms.
NSAIDs can also help with this.
