How to naturally ease period cramps

 

Period Cramps


Roughly 80% of menstruating women experience period cramps. Period cramps can affect a woman’s day-to-day life due to the pain and discomfort women experience from them. For the uterus to shed the unfertilized egg that is released each month during ovulation the uterus must contract to result in cramping. Period cramps don’t have to affect a woman’s day-to-day life though. There are natural ways to combat the discomforts and pain associated with period cramps.

Natural ways to combat period cramps:

Hydration is key. During your period your body can lose a lot of water resulting in dehydration. It is important to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water to feel your best and reduce bloating which can cause your cramps to become stronger.

· Abdominal Massages:

Using essential oils to massage your stomach for up to five minutes every day can help reduce your period cramp pain and discomfort. You can massage your stomach days before your period and during your period for the best results.
