12:38 13 natural remedies for period pain
Today, I’m going to show you how to relieve period cramps fast, and for good. There are two types of period cramps: the primary type is labeled idiopathic, and secondary cramps that are caused by fibroids, ovarian cysts, or endometriosis.
Many women take NSAIDs, birth control pills, and Depo shots for period pain relief. The medical community generally discourages the use of natural remedies for menstrual cramps, but does not discourage the use of medication. Research has shown the effectiveness of vitamin B1 and vitamin E.
Upon searching for the root cause, I stumbled upon the following clues:
• Painful cramps are caused by pain chemicals called prostaglandins.
• Vasopressin, which causes contractions and decreased blood flow, is elevated when you have menstrual cramps.
• Painful period cramps are associated with high parathyroid hormone levels.
• Women with painful menstrual cramps also have much higher inflammation in the uterus, often related to NF-KB.
• Black women have a 33% higher likelihood of getting severe period cramps than white women.
• Menstrual cramps are sometimes treated with calcium channel blockers.
This led to the conclusion that the root cause of menstrual cramps is a severe vitamin D3 deficiency! Try the following natural remedies for period pain and say goodbye to menstrual cramps for good:
1. Take 20,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily
2. Take 400-600 mg of magnesium glycinate
3. Follow a low-carb diet
4. Intermittent fasting
5. Cod liver oil for pain relief
6. Vitamin E
7. Vitamin B1
8. Increase iron with red meat
9. Zinc for vitamin D3 absorption
10. Exercise
11. Fenugreek
12. Heating pad
13. Ginger
