The most common natural remedies include:

• Exercising
• Heating pad (like this… relaxes the muscles which bring oxygen to them)
• Acupuncture
• Abdominal massage
• Warm  baths
• Yoga
• Adequate sleep

These are definitely great things to try if you are in the middle of a painful cycle. They are true “all natural” menstrual cramp remedies. My kind of stuff.

But wouldn’t you like to STOP your menstrual cramps so you don’t need to worry about remedies?

Foods to avoid:

• Phytoestrogens likes soy
• Caffeine
• Processed foods

 You may find relief from eliminating the following:

• Stress (as much as possible. Don’t stress about eliminating stress, okay?)
• Toxic cosmetics or cleaning products (Not sure where to start? Check this out.)
• Plastics, canned food (most cans are lined with BPA), etc.
• Toxic tampons and pads (Many people say their cramps went away after using a menstrual cup, like these.)

Consider the following:

• Sleep in darkness
• Earthing (Both sleeping in darkness and Earthing can help decrease stress and inflammation and lower cortisol levels.)
• Get some sunshine (The sun is important for vitamin D which is critical in helping your body absorb minerals… a crucial menstrual cramp remedy).
• Get your body moving!
