How to Treat Menstrual Cramps Naturally

Menstrual cramps affect almost all women during their menstruation. Luckily, menstrual cramps are one of the easiest menstrual symptoms to treat naturally. Below are some of the more effective natural remedies that can be used for menstrual cramps.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Take Motherwort in supplemental form daily during menstruation to both prevent and treat cramps. If you do not like taking supplements, you can add a few drops of the tincture to either water or tea instead.

2. Take a Niacin supplement starting about 5 days before your menstruation usually begins, continue taking it until about 2 days after the end of your menstruation cycle. Niacin is very effective at relieving cramps of any type. It helps by diluting the blood vessels, allowing more oxygen and circulation to the wall of the uterus.

3. Take an Omega 3 Fatty Acids supplement daily, and continue taking it regularly even when you are not menstruating. Fatty acids help to prevent muscle tissue spasms, which is a factor in menstrual cramps.
