Most women at some point in their lives or even every month suffer from period pains and resort very easily to strong painkillers, without first trying anything else. These pains are due to uterine contractions and may be accompanied by nausea, headache, fainting, back pain, etc. But what can we do to deal with them easily?
1. Heat Heat is a determining factor in menstruation. If we are lightly dressed, walk barefoot and spend hours outside the home, it is very likely that the symptoms will become more painful. To do this: · Place a radiator on the abdomen, waist or use a special heating pad. · Take a warm relaxing bath to which we have added a few drops of lavender essential oil. · Drink a hot valerian tea 1-2 nights before the period and sleep several hours. 2. Phytotherapy Nature provides us with a multitude of herbal options for every occasion. So here too, herbs can help tonics, antispasmodics and neurotonics, such as simisifunga, yam, viburnum and anemone. A mixture of these can also be used. When in addition to the pains we have a headache and nervousness, honeysuckle and angelica are the most suitable. 3. Finger pressure We press with our fists the area of the pelvis in the middle of the crease, where the foot joins the torso. 4. Homeopathy Depending on the type of pain (pain with contractions, nausea, etc.) the homeopath can recommend: · Chamomile · Nux vomica · Colocynthis · Veratrum album · Actea racemosa 5. Nutrition Special nutritionists recommend lowering sugars, fats, red meat and coffee. Dietary supplements that help are Ω3,6,9 fatty acids, Evening primrose oil and Gamma linoleic acid (γ-linoleic acid).
