       Home Remedies
      • Apply heat to the abdomen: 

        Placing a hot water bottle or heating pad against the abdomen can relax the muscles and relieve cramps.

        Heat helps the uterine muscle and those around it relax, which may ease cramping and discomfort.

        A person can also place a heating pad on the lower back to get rid of back pain. Another option is to soak in a warm bath, which can help relax the muscles in the abdomen, back, and legs.

      • Engage in gentle exercise:

        Although exercise might be the last thing many people feel like doing, it may provide pain relief.

        Strenuous exercise might not be beneficial if a person is in pain, but gentle stretching, doing yoga, or going for a walk may help. Exercise also releases endorphins, which are nature’s natural pain relievers.

      • Massage the abdomen with essential oils:

        Getting a massage or performing a self-massage over the abdomen may help relax the pelvic muscles and alleviate cramping.

        People may choose to gently rub a massage oil, body lotion, or coconut oil into their skin to help this process.

        However, massaging the abdomen with essential oils may provide an added benefit for those experiencing menstrual cramps.

       

       Acupuncture

      1)     Stimulating “Spleen 6” to Alleviate Menstrual Cramps

      Placing acupuncture needles or applying pressure on the area known as Spleen 6
      stimulates the release of hormones, allowing relief from cramping. This is an
      effective spot for  quick relief as well as long-term pain management.

      At Spleen 6, the spleen, liver, and kidney channels cross over, making it a
      powerful spot to use in treatment. Fore this reason, it is also commonly used to
      treat digestion and menopause-related symptoms.

      2)     Shen Men for Pain and Anxiety

      The ear is a powerful area to stimulate certain nerves in your body. Applying
      acupuncture or acupressure on specific parts of the ear can:

      • Ease pain
      • Help eating disorders
      • Treat allergies
      • Reduce anxieties

      In particular, the triangular-shaped spot known as Shen Men is one of the more
      powerful and commonly used spots by acupuncturists. Applying pressure or press
      needles to the spot can help alleviate pain from cramping. Treating this spot can
      also assist with anxiety—an issue many women endure during PMS and
      menopause.

      3)     Neiguan (P-6) for alleviating Nausea/Vomiting

      Nausea is common during PMS and the menstrual cycle. Applying pressure to the
      Neiguan point helps release nausea. Simply place three fingers across your wrist to
      find the point.

      4)     He Gu (L14) for headaches

      Headaches are one of the more common symptoms that women experience,
      whether it is right before or during their periods. They can range from an
      uncomfortable pressure to full-on migraines. Stimulating the He Gu spot can help
      reduce or completely alleviate the pain.

      He Gu is also helps with:

      • Reducing overall pain
      • Toothaches
      • Sinus pain
      • Constipation
      • Balancing blood pressure
