Using a heating pad, hot water bottles, or taking a hot bath can really ease up extreme cramping. If you’re in a hurry, don’t underestimate the help of heated seats in your car, even on warmer days, it can instantly relieve some of the worst pain.
Herbal tea like chamomile, mint, raspberry and blackberry can aid in tense muscles and bitter moods. Acupuncture, chiropractic therapy and massages may also aid in cramping as well.
For women who experience intense menstrual pains normally, the aid of a doctor and prescribed medication may provide the relief you need.
And as much as you might not want to hear it during that week- exercise. Lying on the couch with a pint of ice cream does not loosen up your tense pelvic muscles in any way. Even if it’s a walk around the block, getting out and moving around a bit can really be beneficial to your worst pains.
