Period cramps. A natural approach

If you’re like most women, you’ve definitely experienced period cramps.

I don’t need to tell you what it’s like, except to agree that it ranges from merely annoying to painful.

Doctors call it dysmenorrhea. Most researchers believe that it is the hormones in our body that are probably causing all the pain and suffering.

Anyway, every month in every woman’s body, our hormones fluctuate. Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and prostaglandins run rampant.

For those of us who believe that it is better to use 100% organic sanitary napkins than the common synthetic ones, it is worth knowing that there are also some natural remedies that can help with dysmenorrhea.

We cannot tell you that they have been thoroughly researched and will bring you effective relief. These are just suggestions that might suit you.

The greatest emphasis is placed on vitamins but also on other techniques that you may find very helpful.

· Omega3 – fatty acids
· Magnesium
· Vitamin E
· Vitamin B1
· Calcium·
· Acupuncture

Aromatherapy, massage and as many have found, hot water bottles can work wonders.
