PMS Natural Remedies

Natural remedies for menstrual cramps

Itâ € ™ s that time of the month and you do not already looking forward. Maybe you have bloating during or before your menstrual period or your cramps are too uncomfortable to wear. There are natural ways to treat your body to help blunting your menstrual problems, here are some things to get you started:

1. Increase Omega-3 fatty acids. The intake of these oils who found in fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines and anchovies can lesson menstrual cramps.

2. Try magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral found naturally in foods like leafy green vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains. It is also available as nutritional supplements. In 2001, researchers from the Cochrane Collaboration reviewed three small studies that compared magnesium and placebo for dysmenorrhea. Overall, they found that magnesium is more effective than placebo in relieving pain and need for additional medication were lower with the use of magnesium.

3. Taking dietary adjustments starting about 14 days before a period may help some women with certain mild menstrual disorders, such as cramps. The general guidelines for healthy eating apply to everyone, they include eating plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables and avoiding saturated fats and junk food business.

4. Salt Restriction. Limiting salt may help bloating.

5. Reduce caffeine, sugar and alcohol. Reducing sugar caffeine consumption and alcohol may be beneficial. The effects of alcohol are mixed. One study found that women who drank less wine had less menstrual pain than those who drank more wine. Another reported that regular consumption of alcohol reduces the risk of developing cramps, but it actually increased the length of cramping time in certain women. In any case, alcohol is certainly not recommended to relieve menstrual irregularities.

6. Maintaining healthy levels of iron – Women who have heavy menstrual bleeding can sometimes become anemic. Iron Dining rich foods may help prevent anemia. Iron found in foods is either in the form of heme or non-heme iron. Heme iron is better absorbed than non-heme iron. Foods containing heme iron are best for increasing or maintaining iron levels healthy. These foods include (in order of iron-richness) clams, oysters, organ meats, beef, pork, poultry and fish.

The non-haem iron is less well absorbed. About 60% of iron in meat non-heme (although meat itself helps absorb non-heme iron). Eggs, dairy products and vegetables containing iron that did not form heme. These plant products include dried beans and peas, iron-fortified cereals, bread and pasta, green leafy vegetables (chard, spinach, mustard greens, kale), dried fruits, nuts and seeds.

7. Increased consumption of foods rich in vitamin C â € "These foods can enhance absorption of non heme iron during a single meal. In any case, foods rich in vitamin C are healthy and include broccoli, cabbage, citrus, melons, tomatoes and strawberries. An orange or six ounces of orange juice can double the amount of iron the body absorbs from plant foods. (Taking vitamin C seems to have no significant effect on reserves iron.)

8. Exercise – Exercise may help reduce menstrual pain. It is not clear, however, how intense the exercise should be to reduce dysmenorrhea. For example young female athletes in a 2001 study were twice as likely to suffer from dysmenorrhoea than their inactive peers. However, they were also three times more likely to experience a lack of periods. Exercise May will be very useful for women with menstrual pain due to endometriosis. It relieves stress and tension and may reduce hormonal levels which could contribute to the growth of the endometrium.

Other things you can do to help your cramps include:

1. Sexual activity. It was reported that orgasm reduces the severity of menstrual cramps.

2. Application of heat. A study has shown that the application continues a heated abdominal pad for 12 hours 2 days in a row is also effective in reducing menstrual cramps as ibuprofen (Advil). A warm bath may also be useful.

3. Menstrual hygiene. Tampons should be changed every 4 to 6 hours. Scented Tampons and buffers should be avoided; feminine deodorants can irritate the genital area. Women should not shower during or between periods. The women shower on a weekly basis are more likely to contract cancer of the cervix than those who do not. Douching may destroy natural bacteria normally present in the vagina. Bathing regularly is sufficient.
