Treat menstrual
cramps using a heat pack - I have always suffered from
severe menstrual cramps all my life. I have tried all the
medication available over the counter and none work as good
as the good old heat pack remedy. Either purchase a heat
pack or make a square bag out of two pieces of material
sewn together and put a heap of rice in it then sew the
end up. You can put this heat pack in the microwave to heat
it then simply place it on your abdomen. It works wonders,
believe me.

Treat menstrual cramps using olive or corn oil - This
is a remedy my great grandmother gave to me when I was a teenager.
Simply heat a few tablespoons of either olive oil or corn
oil in the microwave and massage into the lower area of your
stomach and also on the lower back. If you do this every morning
of your cycle you will be pain free for the cycle of your
period. |

Treat menstrual
cramps using Evening Primrose Oil - Take evening primrose
oil on a regular basis.
The oil blocks the inflammatory prostaglandin's that cause
menstrual cramps. It also appears to ease breast tenderness
that some women experience just before their periods.

Treat menstrual cramps using pumpkin seeds - Start
eating a quarter of cup of pumpkin seeds a day 1 week before
your period is due. Continue to eat them through your period
and you will be pain free.

I
would cringe when it was time for my cycle. I met this elderly lady
at my church and she told me to buy some ginger root slice off what
i need and boil it. Afterward make it into a tea drink and you will
notice a decrease in your cramps.

Ginseng
Tea. My closest friend is Chinese, and several times when I'd stay
over at her house, we'd both have our periods at the same time,
so her Grandmother (who lives with her, and can only say "Joi no
home" in "Engrish") boiled a sliced ginseng root or two. It was
the most effective thing I have EVER experienced. The problem is,
I have yet to actually find ginseng roots, and it's my understanding
that they're sold consistently in Asian Markets. So find em, boil
em, drink the tea, be free. :]

I
have monsterous cramps and menstrual symptoms that leave me literally
crawling in pain, throwing up every month. Something that's help
ME lots that I realize isn't on the site, is changing my diet. I
went partly vegetarian for other reasons and realized my period
was lighter. I'm not saying you have to abandon meat completely,
but try not eating meat, especially red, the week leading up to
the period, it helps a lot. I've also heard that cutting dairy and
sweets help, but I haven't had the discipline to try those myself
yet!

I
have a combination of 3 things that seem, together, to help me out.
To fit in all three is time-consuming, unfortunately, but worth
it if you can pull it off. First, I am getting pretty good at knowing
when my period is about to start, and I try to get in to a yoga
class the night before. It stretches and strengthens and loosens
everything up. Then, as soon as the bleeding starts, drink lots
of hot tea (oregano, red raspberry leaf or ginger are best) and
use a heating pad alternating between the abdomen and the lower
back. Without doing these things, I am nauseated for about a day
and a half, and in significant, can-hardly-function caliber pain.
With this remedy, I feel a some pain early on, but it's not nearly
as intense. It subsides within an hour or 2 and I can get on with
my life. It's worth taking a couple of hours when the pain hits
if you can to slow down and do what YOUR body needs. That will keep
you from losing whole days.

Starting
at least one week before the flow commences, eat at least 1 ripe
banana a day. I learned that from an elderly woman, and it worked
for me. Also avoid sweets (cookies, cakes, candies, etc. during
the flow)

While in
Peru I met a "medicine man" who gave me an herbal cure for menstrual
cramps. make a tea with 5-6 clusters of lantana flowers. i have
terrible menstrual cramps, but within 5-10 minutes they are totally
gone with lantana tea. I found a huge plant growing in Atlanta,Ga
this summer so i picked a bag full and dried them. they work dried
just as well. I have given some to several friends when they are
in need,and they are always also amazed at the almost instantaneous
results. Lantana is a very common ornamental plant sold at most
nurseries. please spread the word so that women can be free from
this pain! thank you!

Peppermint
really helps my cramps. I like to make hot chocolate and add a little
peppermint extract...within 20 minutes i start to feel the cramps
go away. Making peppermint tea is also good. In general, anything
with peppermint works!
