There are multiple ways to reduce the menstrual cramps:
- Taking a pain killer or an anti spasmodic
- Applying hot water bag over the abdomen or having a hot water shower
- Massage therapy with essential oils over the abdomen and lower back has shown to help
- Avoid food items such as fatty foods, alcohol, carbonated beverages, caffeine, salty foods
- Avoid smoking
- Have food items such as chamomile tea, fennel seeds, cinnamon, ginger, etc.
If the pain is persistent or worsens visit the nearest ER
