3. Exercise.
Working out before and during your menstruation is a great idea because when you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which act as natural painkillers. Yoga is especially recommended because it’s not too strenuous, but still helps to relieve those annoying menstrual symptoms.
4. Alter your diet.
Cashews and almonds are rich in vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids and magnesium – perfect for relieving painful cramps.
5. Try acupuncture.
This ancient practice is becoming a popular remedy for treating menstrual pain because it’s thought to regulate the blood flow through the abdomen and therefore reduce cramps. Just how many treatments will you need? It varies, but one or two sessions per week for five or six weeks is pretty typical.
