on 9/4/2006 I have moderate to severe cramps and have found that hot chamomile tea with a few slices of fresh ginger deadens the pain significantly while I'm waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in. I don't remember where I read about this, but it's healthy and effective. It tastes good too.

on 8/20/2006 I take 4 800 ml ibuprofen, get a heating pad, and drink chamomile tea (which helps relax the muscles). Also, breathe deep (in through nose, out through mouth) to get oxygen flowing to those muscles that are cramping.

on 8/8/2006 My aunt is a nut when it comes to not using medication instead natural products for pain during menstruation. A tip that worked is to drink hot water that has oregano soaked in it, drain the oregano after allowing it to sit in a warm cup of water and that should do the trick. Avoid fried foods, eat more steamed food and carbohydrates; such as rice and lentils or beans and drink plenty of water!

on 6/30/2006 It may sound a little weird at first, but it's surefire and has never failed! To relieve anything from mild to extreme menstrual pain, try a little masturbation! Read a racy novel, anything that will get your hormones going---it really works! No joke.

on 3/8/2006 Drink lots and lots of water! If you have an idea of when your period comes around, try and drink lots of water the week before and during. You'll see that it usually eases cramps or they will completely go away. During that week before and of, avoid soda, coffee, concentrated sugars and caffeine. If you avoid that stuff completely, you'll be happy camper.
