5 Tips to Relieve Period Pain

Here are 5 tips to follow for all women who suffer from painful periods:

• Take a hot bath: Taking a hot bath can be effective in relieving menstrual pain. In fact, the heat of the water helps relax the muscles and therefore soothe abdominal cramps. It is advisable to fill the bathtub with hot water and lie in it for around thirty minutes. If desired, it is possible to add a few drops of essential oils to the water. Lavender essential oil and chamomile essential oil are particularly known for their relaxing effects.

• Put a hot water bottle or heating pad on your stomach: as mentioned previously, heat can help relax the muscles of the lower abdomen, thus reducing period pain. The blood vessels dilate, which promotes blood circulation and reduces uterine contractions. Placing a hot water bottle or heating pad on the painful area therefore provides an immediate soothing effect.

• Do a gentle massage of the stomach: this is a recognized way to relieve dysmenorrhea. It can be done directly on the painful area, at the level of the lower abdomen, using gentle movements in a clockwise direction.

• Get moving and get some fresh air: walking for a few minutes and getting some fresh air helps to better oxygenate the nervous system, thus improving mood and relieving stress, which can sometimes intensify menstrual cramps. Walking helps activate circulation in the lower abdomen and therefore reduces pain.

• Take care of your diet: during your period, it is important to take care of your diet. The diet should preferably be low in salt and rich in complex carbohydrates such as cereals, fruits and vegetables. Spicy/fried foods and dairy products should be consumed in moderation. It is also advisable to favor a diet rich in magnesium. This mineral provides many health benefits and plays an important role in relieving muscle cramps; so it can help relieve menstrual cramps. Magnesium is found in high quantities in certain foods such as bananas, dates, corn, oatmeal and soy. Finally, it is obviously recommended to drink plenty of water and herbal teas with relaxing properties (alchemilla, yarrow, chamomile, lemon balm, etc.) to promote relaxation.

If period pain is unbearable and seriously affects your quality of life, it is obviously a good idea to refer a doctor quickly to find adequate treatment.
