Menstrual Pain Relieved Naturally
There are literally thousands of women that simply hate their monthly cycle because of the pain. Since Eve left the Garden of Eden, all women from time to time have dealt with cramps. Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) are throbbing or annoying pains in the lower abdomen. Most women experience menstrual cramps just before and during their menstrual periods. Menstrual cramps can interfere with everyday activities. Treating the cause of menstrual cramps is key to reducing the pain. This is the reason why I wanted to share this article to help you, my family members, and friends.
First, a great part of our bodies experiencing pain is due to our diet. It is proven that without regular exercise, low amounts of sugary drinks, and food eaten with large amounts of starchy, and greasy foods we have set up our system for clogged arteries, inflammation, high blood sugars, and blood pressure. The sugar highs and lows can cause mood swings and irritability. Believe it or not, chocolate candy is not your friend during your cycle.
Let us look at some well-known herbs, foods, and positions that can help you experience less cramping pain during your cycle
