Natural Ways to Reduce
Menstrual Cramps
Menstrual pains can come in different
forms, including stomach cramps,
backaches, aches in the sides, etc. There
are different stages of pain as well,
varying from light and moderate to
severe. Along with using heat patches,
you can also try these home remedies:
• Exercise: Working out may be the last
thing on your mind when you are
experiencing menstrual cramps. However,
1 Dehnavi, Z. M., Jafarnejad, F., & Kamali, Z. (2018). The Effect of aerobic
exercise on primary dysmenorrhea: A clinical trial study. Journal of
education and health promotion.
a 2018 study showed that low-intensity
aerobic exercise might help reduce pain
caused by period cramps. 1 For example,
walking, yoga and stretching exercises
are great workout options.
• Reduce specific foods: Salty and fatty
foods can cause water retention,
bloating, and discomfort, so limit your
intake of salt and oil at this time. In
addition, alcohol and caffeine intake may
also aggravate the condition, so go easy
on the wine and your cappuccino.
• Hydrate yourself: Dehydration can
worsen abdominal cramps. Ensure you
get your 8-glasses of water per day.
