Dream Jo , if you're worried about getting Cancer just add some
Red Clover Tops into your Tea Blend.

Don't let anyone insult you if you get PMS or are going through Menopause....
perhaps drink some Tea with them and be happy you're a woman :)

Organic Blackstrap molasses. unsulphured.

I couldn't stand the taste so I bought empty capsules. I take one capsule a day and my periods have been heavenly ever since. Before they came with bad cramps and heavy fatigue. I read it also keeps gray hair at bay. I'm 41 so either I'm really lucky or it works :wink:

oona 1 PMS

and

oona 2 PMS

This probably wasn't a thing when you originally posted this thread, and I'm not sure it's been said already.

A couple months ago I took turmeric in a capsule and it relieved my cramps. There's also exercise and self-pleasure to get those pain-killin' neurotransmitters already in your body back to work. ;)

For years, I had menstrual cramps with such severe pain that most painkillers didn't work and every time a series was over, I felt I wasn't the same person anymore.

What helped me was the type of acupuncture where they place tiny threads under the skin, so that one has to go for a treatment only every third week.

The doctor must have changed something in my "bio-settings" because after regular treatment for some months, the debilitating cramps were gone.



((During that 3 weeks, the threads are there and are stimulating the acupuncture points, they are absorbed by the body by the 3rd week.))

Why menstrual cramps happen
It’s common to feel discomfort around your abdomen, lower back, and thighs when you’re menstruating. During your period, the muscles of your womb contract and relax to help shed built-up lining. Sometimes you’ll experience cramps, which are your muscles at work. Some women and girls may experience nausea, vomiting, headaches, or diarrhea as well.

Doctors aren’t sure why some women experience painful menstruation and others don’t. But some factors that are associated with more intense pain include:

having a heavy blood flow
having your first child
being under the age of 20, or just starting your period
having an overproduction of or sensitivity to prostaglandins, a hormone that influences your womb

Other factors include growths in your womb, endometriosis (abnormal uterine tissue growth), and use of birth control.

For mild to temporary cramps, some home remedies can help provide relief. Read on for tips on getting fast relief and how to potentially lessen the pain during your next cycle.

1. Taking over-the-counter medications
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the primary over-the-counter form of pain relief recommended for menstrual pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (Aleve, Naproxen). These drugs help lower your body’s production of prostaglandin. NSAIDs aren’t as effective as oral contraception, but they can help reduce pain.

2. Applying heat
Applying heat to your abdomen and lower back may relieve pain. A 2012 study focused on women 18 to 30 years old who had regular menstrual cycles found that a heat patch at 104°F (40°C) was as effective as ibuprofen.

If you don’t have a hot water bottle or heating pad, take a warm bath or use a hot towel. Or you can make your own heating pad:

1 Cut and sew together two pieces of fabric, leaving a hole at the top.
2 Fill with uncooked rice and sew up the hole.
3 Microwave for a few minutes to the desired temperature. Don’t overheat!
4 Let cool, if necessary. Or wrap your homemade pad in a towel to reduce
heat transfer. Reuse as necessary.

3. Massaging with essential oils
Massage therapy for about 20 minutes can help reduce menstrual pain. One study looked at women with period pain caused by endometriosis. The researchers found that massages significantly reduced pain immediately and afterward. Massage therapy for menstruation involves pressing specific points while the therapist’s hands move around your abdomen, side, and back.

Although exercise may be the last thing that many women feel like doing when they have cramps, it may provide pain relief.

Strenuous exercise might not be beneficial if a person is in pain, but gentle stretching, going for a walk, or doing yoga may help. Exercise also releases endorphins, which are nature's natural pain relievers.

A Taiwanese study found that 12 weeks of twice-weekly yoga classes reduced menstrual cramps in the study participants.
