For women, after reaching puberty, they have to endure painful muscle cramps every month due to menstruation. The contraction and stretching of the uterine wall muscles cause this pain each time menstruation occurs.
During this time, in addition to muscle cramps, women often experience accompanying symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and general discomfort. Since this is also a time when one can easily become irritable and sensitive, it's essential to know some effective remedies that can help reduce these symptoms as much as possible.
Eat yogurt
Once menstruation begins, eat about one cup of yogurt 3 to 4 times a day. The vitamin D and calcium in yogurt can help relieve muscle pain.
Drink raspberry leaf tea
You should drink raspberry leaf tea once a day, starting a few days before your period begins.
Drink lemon juice
Prepare half a lemon, one cup of water (about 250 ml), and some honey. Squeeze the half lemon into the water. Then add the honey and mix well. Drink this juice before breakfast, when your stomach is empty.
Drink green tea
Add one teaspoon of green tea leaves to 250 ml of water and bring it to a boil. After it boils for about 3 to 5 minutes, strain out the tea leaves to get the green tea.
Once it has cooled slightly, you can add a little honey and drink it. If you drink this green tea 3 to 4 times a day, your pain will be relieved.
Apply peppermint oil
Mix 3 to 4 drops of peppermint oil with 2 teaspoons of jojoba oil. Apply the resulting oil to your abdomen and waist area, and massage gently. You can apply this repeatedly until the pain subsides.
