Period cramps can be a real pain (literally!) and finding something that can help ease the pain can be a real struggle. I've been there, and I know how it feels.Â
Â
But I want to share with you some natural remedies that I've tried and found helpful. I was pleasantly surprised when they actually worked, and I hope they can help you too.
Â
Here are 5 natural remedies that you might want to try:
Â
1. Drink lots of water
This can help with bloating and make your muscles feel better.
Â
2. Try herbal teas
Certain types of tea can reduce muscle pain in your uterus which causes cramps. Chamomile, fennel, and ginger are good options. These teas can also help with stress and sleep.
Â
3. Eat calming foods
Foods like berries, tomatoes, pineapples, and spices like turmeric and ginger. They can help with cramps by reducing inflammation. Leafy greens, nuts, and fish like salmon can also help.
Â
4. Go for decaf coffee
Caffeine can make your blood vessels smaller, which can make cramps worse. Decaf coffee won't have this effect. If you need caffeine, try eating a snack with protein or going for a short walk instead.
Â
5. Use heat
Heat can help your muscles relax, increase blood flow, and reduce tension. Try using a heating pad or taking a hot shower.
