Plur Vibes

PLUR stands for peace, love, unity and respect – these are the principles guiding ravers around the globe. New York DJ Frankie Bones spearheaded this movement in 1990 after a warehouse rave there turned violent three years earlier.

Those who embrace PLUR strive to infuse positive energy into every area of their life, from EDM events and at home. Their personal style often mirrors this philosophy with various accessories showcasing its message.

Ease Menstrual Pain

Dysmenorrhea, or menstrual pain, is a widespread issue that affects many women and can lead them to miss school, work or other important activities. Fortunately, there are several ways you can reduce the discomfort during your period.

Menstrual cramps can be made more bearable with these simple yet effective remedies: heating pads, baths and self-massaging your skin with aromatic essential oils. Not only are these remedies easy to use and discreet, they’ll help provide lasting comfort during periods.

According to a study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, women who massaged their lower abdomen with lavender, clary sage or marjoram essential oil experienced less pain. Massaging these oils also helps promote blood flow throughout your body while relaxing muscles that cause cramps.

One way to reduce menstrual pain is through regular exercise. Aerobic activities, such as walking, biking and swimming, will make you breathe hard and raise your heart rate, encouraging the release of endorphins that reduce pain sensations.

Other forms of exercise can also help alleviate your symptoms, such as yoga and Pilates. These stretches target the muscles in your hips and back that are often affected by cramps, while aiding digestion too.

According to a study in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, acupuncture can be an effective option for treating period pain. Researchers examined 42 studies that compared acupuncture with no treatment or conventional methods such as anti-inflammatory drugs.

DeJarra Sims, ND and author of Your Healthiest Life Now, found that acupuncture was more effective for relieving menstrual pain among overweight or obese women due to its ability to reduce inflammation and boost metabolism.

Eating healthy foods that are low in sugar and fat, such as fruits, vegetables and nuts, can also help alleviate pain during your period. This is because these items contain anti-inflammatory agents which increase blood flow and reduce any inflammation that might cause cramping.

For added comfort, try Midol Heat Vibes heating patch. This one-time use, drug-free heat patch will begin to warm on its own once opened. To use, peel away the paper backing to reveal its white adhesive side; apply it outside of underwear or thin clothing without direct skin contact.

Incredibly Satisfying

The rave scene offers an abundance of rewarding experiences, from music and dancing to connecting with like-minded individuals who share a similar appreciation for positive vibes. One mantra widely adopted among ravers and clubbers is PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect). Originally coined in 1990s by New York DJ Frankie Bones as part of his Peace Love Unity Movement initiative, this concept later evolved into PLUR in order to emphasize respect as an essential aspect within communities.

PLUR is an effortless way to spread love, good vibes and positive energy around you. It’s become a common practice among ravers and clubbers to say PLUR while dancing, but it also serves as an excellent platform for spreading positivity outside the rave world as well.

An inspiring phrase, this expression encourages ravers and clubbers to take their music and dancing to new heights by connecting with others through sound and movement. What better way to show someone you care than by creating an unforgettable moment together?

Another way to show PLUR is by exchanging kandi bracelets with fellow ravers. Kandi bracelets are handmade pieces of jewelry made from colorful beads and often include letter beads with kind or funny messages. Giving a piece of kandi to someone special at the event can be an enjoyable and thoughtful gesture that shows you care about their experience at the festival.
