BEST WAYS TO REDUCE PERIOD PAINS RECOVER NATURALLY THROUGH YOUR PMS 1. DRINK UP Ever feel bloated when you’re on your period? You and all of us, sister. Staying hydrated doesn’t directly curb the cramps but it helps with the bloating which makes the pain much worse. When you know you’re on the verge of being visited by Aunt Flo, keep a bottle handy, squeeze in some lime for an extra kick, and keep swigging all day long. Cut down on your salt content and stay away from alcohol (we know it’s supposed to drown out the pain but, trust us, it won’t work here). 2. EAT YOUR PAIN AWAY PMS equals hunger pangs and we know you’re craving all-things-fried to bring you comfort. But those burgers, donuts and fries aren’t your friends. Stick to low-fat, high-fibre diets rich in Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamins and Omega 3 which are natural anti-inflammatories and get set to fight off those menstrual cramps. And guess what, you can satisfy your sweet tooth with some dark chocolate which will relax your muscles and lift your spirits too. 3. JUST MOVE IT We understand that exercising is probably the last thing you want to do when you’ve got your period, but there’s good reason to push through. While exercise, whether it’s HIIT, yoga, or a simple jog, doesn’t provide instantly pain relief, it has been proven that women who work out regularly and stay fit have lesser lower abdominal pain than those who don’t. Physical activity being one of the best ways to reduce period pain, increases blood circulation and releases endorphins which work wonders as the body’s natural pain medicine and as stress-busting happy hormones that lift your spirits 4. HIT IT WITH HEAT One of the natural ways to reduce period pain, using a heating pad or taking a hot shower is practically a miracle cure for most women suffering from menstrual cramps. Studies show that topical heat can block pain receptors on the skin and can relax tense uterine muscles reducing the contractions that cause cramping. If you’re on the go when the pain hits you, carry an easily rechargeable cordless heating wrap, a microwaveable heating pad or a portable hot water bottle to bring you relief no matter where you are and what you’re up to. 5.IT’S MASSAGE TIME You’ll be pleased to know that a great way to release stress and tension in your abdominal region during menstruation is a massage. Whether you do it yourself or get someone to do it for you, even 5-10 minutes of a gentle tummy massage can bring immense respite by boosting blood flow to the cramped area. Yup, it’s that simple. Give yourself some extra TLC by adding essential oils like Lavender or Clary Sage which have pain-relieving compounds. Keeping your movements light, focus on your lower back and your abdomen and watch your pain slip slowly away. 6. BUST THAT STRESS Did you know that stress affects reproductive hormones? So, it’s only logical that it would affect your period as well. Studies have shown that women who experience high stress levels during the month complain of more intense menstrual cramps. And while it’s easier said than done, dialling back on the stress can help control the period pain you experience on your cycle. We recommend making time for yourself – meditate, unwind with your friends, or simply Netflix and chill (we mean that literally). We all need some ‘me’ time and if that’s going to make your monthlies a little more bearable, it’s worth it. 7.AND WHAT ELSE! HOMOEOPATHY IS ALWAYS AT YOUR AID..
