this one is for becky, and all the other cranky females. i like to use natural, safe and intelligent solutions for whatever problems need solving. i was reading a bit about holistic remedies and treatments for various ailments, and i know becky is one to not want to take medicine for her pains.
- exercise - it improves blood and oxygen circulation, including through the pelvis, and releases feel-good endorphins.
- get a massage - massage therapists can target your abdomen to ease the tension.
- avoid caffeine - it constricts blood vessels and increases tension.
- eat less dairy and meat - antibiotics we add to certain foods may make cramps worse.
- spice with cayenne - cayenne pepper also improves blood circulation.
- b vitamins, which may also help with nonmenstrual cramps.
- primrose oil - widely used in europe for pms symptoms, it packs healthy omega fatty acids; so does borage oil.
- jasmine oil - another pms symptom-soother; use it to massage your abs.
these may not be as effective as popping a pill, but they're gentler on your liver, and mean less toxic chemicals going into landfills. not only this, but avoidance of the animal products and caffeine, and getting good exercise are just plain good for you.
