Natural treatment for painful periods

femme qui a des règles douloureuses à la recherche de remède naturel

If there is one subject on which we are not equal, it is this one!
There are those who experience their cycle smoothly without feeling any pain and then there are those for whom the period rhymes with ordeal and dysmenorrhea . If your contraception plays a big role in the feeling of pain, it is not the only one that can have an impact on your menstrual pain and fortunately!

The good news is that there are natural alternatives to medications that we don't necessarily want to resort to every month.
Natural, simple, inexpensive, Perdième tells you all about these natural treatment which will ease your pain and improve your comfort during your period .

Rule number 1 and it goes without saying: we stop using intrusive sanitary protection that sends bad signals to the body and disrupts its balance and we switch to organic cotton period panties that are ultra-healthy for the body. (but you already knew that!).

1. Medicinal plants as allies

We already loved them in our living room but we're going to love them even more.

In herbal tea , we opt for yarrow, which is an effective antispasmodic plant. It has a notable effect on the smooth muscles of the uterus. It is also known for its anti-inflammatory and relaxing properties. It also has the reputation of partially blocking the production of estrogen, thus reducing strong hormonal fluctuations, sources of pain during periods.

Raspberry leaf is also a very good antispasmodic. You will find it in our special herbal tea for painful periods.

Chamomile can help relieve cramps. It's often used for its soothing properties against stress and anxiety. When taken during painful periods, it's of interest to us for its antispasmodic effect, which relieves intestinal cramps (difficult digestion often accompanies menstrual periods) and uterine cramps.

Vetiver roots , do you know them? It's a medicinal plant from ancestral African medicine highly prized by women and recognized for its therapeutic virtues for intimate and feminine health. This plant soothes menstrual pain and relieves painful periods .

A final herbal ally: green tea , which helps combat water retention, which affects 40% of women during their periods.

Do you prefer herbal teas? Meadowsweet will help your kidneys eliminate water.

2. Heat please!

Although it may be harder to adopt in the middle of summer, a hot water bottle is essential for your menstrual cycle. Place it on your stomach or lower back to relieve the pressure. Indeed, Heat is a recognized natural remedy for soothing menstrual pain.

Another alternative: a nice hot bath (with foam, candles and a good book), but you need a bathtub for that, we agree!

3. Essential oils with superpowers

Essential oils are everyday allies as an alternative to medications. However, be careful to use them with caution and always dilute them. They can be diluted in shea butter or massage oil before application.

Accompanied by a gentle massage of the lower abdomen, they will work wonders.

We have made a little list for you:

  • Bergamot essential oil to calm the body;
  • Tarragon essential oil, excellent antispasmodic;
  • Ylang-Ylang essential oil, which soothes the body and mind;
  • Clove essential oil for pain relief;
  • Peppermint essential oil reduces headaches (it also works against hangovers) and boosts energy.

4. Diet rich in magnesium

Proper nutrition can play a role in reducing menstrual pain:

  • Magnesium: This mineral helps relax muscles and reduce cramps. It is found in foods such as almonds, spinach, and bananas.

  • Hydration: Drinking enough water is crucial to prevent water retention and reduce bloating associated with your period.

    5. A little exercise

    Although it's often the last thing you feel like doing, getting some exercise is a great way to combat painful periods.
    Top of the list: yoga, with a gentle stretching program combined with a short meditation session to help you relax deeply and relieve some pain.

    And finally, our last tip: it seems that orgasms reduce pain during periods, just saying...

    By incorporating these natural remedies into your routine, you can effectively relieve period pain. However, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional if the pain persists or worsens.
