How to Treat Menstrual (Periods) Pain without Unending Clinic Trips?

Menstrual cramps are the worst. They seriously are. For a pain that’s “normal,” (in other words, pain that doesn’t signify something being terribly wrong with your body,) they hurt like hell: much worse than someone who doesn’t get bad cramps (your annoyingly lucky friend, every guy you will ever meet for the rest of your life as long as you live) can truly understand. The pain can be so debilitating that sometimes you end up missing school, work, or fun social activities in favor of lying miserably on your bed, wishing you could cut out your own uterus. (Anyone who’s ever had truly bad cramps knows that’s not an exaggeration!)

Menstrual cramps are something that almost every woman has experienced. While some may only experience them in the form of mild discomfort, others may experience severe and often debilitating pain during their menstrual cycle.

I have learned a lot of tricks to dealing with cramps over the years–so here are the following home treatment to help relieve your menstrual cramps, when you want to alleviate the pain of menstrual cramping, but do not want to take any medications; there are natural remedies that can help relieve menstrual cramps. Women suffering from cramps, pulling, pain, do not have to turn their medicine cabinets for relief. There are some other ways that could be tried first, before reaching for the nearest bottle of pain reliever
It’s that time of the month again. You’re plagued with monster menstrual cramps that just won’t let up. Instead of popping aspirin like candy for a little relief, try curing your cramps naturally with these Home cares:

Home Care

The following steps may allow you to avoid prescription medications:
  • Apply a heating pad to your lower belly area, below your belly button. Never fall asleep with the heating pad on.
  • Do light circular massage with your fingertips around your lower belly area.
  • Drink warm beverages.
  • Eat light but frequent meals.
  • Follow a diet rich in complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, but low in salt, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine.
  • Keep your legs raised while lying down, or lie on your side with your knees bent.
  • Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga.
  • Try over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medicine, such as ibuprofen. Start taking it the day before your period is expected to start, and continue taking it regularly for the first few days of your period.
  • Try vitamin B6, calcium, and magnesium supplements, especially if your pain is from PMS.
  • Take warm showers or baths.
  • Walk or exercise regularly, including pelvic rocking exercises.
  • Lose weight if you are overweight. Get regular, aerobic exercise.
  • Drink herbal teas, such as chamomile, mint, ginger, green leaves,raspberry, and blackberry, which may help soothe tense muscles and anxious moods.
  • Exercise. Regular workouts decrease the severity of cramps.
  • Empty your bladder as soon as you have the urge to urinate
If these self-care measures do not work, your doctor may prescribe medications such as:
  • Antibiotics
  • Antidepressants
  • Birth control pills
  • Prescription anti-inflammatory medicines
  • Prescription pain relievers (including narcotics, for brief periods)
