getting rid of cramps (naturally)

I get menstrual cramps so bad that it makes me incredibly nauseous and it makes it really hard to get through the day without wanting to curl into a ball.
What seems to work best for you?

Re: getting rid of cramps (naturally)

hmm...i don't ever get cramps that bad (thank god; i know that i'm lucky). my friend gets them really bad though and she works out right when she gets her period and they're a lot milder.

...also i don't know if you're into it, but smoking weed cures her cramps almost instantly, plus it's fun. but that's not really something i recommend to get through the day emoticon

i also usually look for a natural way, i hate taking tylenol and stuff. i just don't like having it in my body, i'd rather deal with the cramps but like i said, mine aren't usually too bad. good luck! emoticon

I'm the expert, I've tried several things however nothing worked beside Aleve, but maybe in my case it has psychological roots....

Weed - Not bad but no soooo effective

Some ivy pill you have to take during 3 months supposed to regulate the hormones. Worked for the first month but did not worked afterwards. Worked perfectly for some people i know.

Hot bath / hot pack - Some reliefe, most effective of all mntioned below

Omega3 pills taken every day - worked for the first month aswell

Ginger tea - helps with the nausea

Basil tea - some reliefe

Nettle tea 3-4 days before 2-3 cups every day. Worked for the first time, but not afterwards...

I obviously dont have this dilemme but you might want to research cramp bark. There are also herbal tea mixtures specifically for this. Also might want to go to the library and get a womans herbal, one written by a woman for women.

Re: getting rid of cramps (naturally)

cramp bark 500mg every 30-60 minutes for severe cramps until you feel relief, a tincture of cramp bark would work faster take 3ml. Magnesium helps cramps as does some hormone balancing herbs like, vitex also know as Chaste berry, dong quai, natural progesterone cream. Diet it a big influence on pms, avoid sugar, fat, meat, alcohol and high sodium food. You'd be surprised how much it helps to cut sugar out of your diet. When all else fails there's always vicodin which is my rescue med:)
