Abdominal pain during monthly periods is a very common condition. A menstrual period can be particularly troublesome for some as it would mean abdominal cramps and bloating on a monthly basis. In fact almost all women experience this condition on a monthly basis.
However, the intensity at which it occurs may vary drastically from one woman to another. For many women this surfaces as a dull throbbing pain in the lower abdominal region. Unfortunately, for others it may be so severe that it may interrupt their daily activities.
Many women actually require painkillers and other drugs in order to obtain relief from this monthly cycle of pain. This condition is also referred to as menstrual cramps.
There are quite a few home remedies that can help you get rid of this pain, in some cases where home remedies cannot get rid of the pain completely, it will help in reducing the pain to a great extent.
- For immediate relief you can apply a hot water bottle or a heat pad on your abdominal region. This will help in soothing the pain, as it eases the intense muscle contractions causing the pain. This is a very effective remedy, as it can be undertaken even when you are at office, as soon as the pain surfaces. If you are at home soaking in a warm bath will prove even better, as it will help your entire body relax.
- Parsley contains apiol, which is one of the components possessed by estrogen – a female sex hormone. This makes parsley very effective in reducing the pain experienced during menstruation. Drinking the juice made from this herb a few days before you approach your menstrual cycle will be highly beneficial.
- Parsley juice mixed with carrot juice, beet juice, or cucumber juice will also be beneficial in reducing the pain caused by menstrual cycles.
- Ginger is also very effective in treating menstrual problems. Grind a small piece of ginger in 250 ml of water, and bring it to the boil. Add a teaspoon of sugar to this tonic and drink it after each meal to experience effective relief.
- Marigold is also very effective in easing the pain during menstrual cycles. However, you should only consume one teaspoon of this herb.
- Coriander seeds are very effective when it comes to treating menstrual cramps. Boil around four to five grams of coriander seeds in about 500 ml of water on low heat. Allow the water to boil until only half the water is left. Add three teaspoons of sugar, and drink this tonic while it is still warm.
