Some relief may be obtained by applying a heating pad to the abdomen, lightly massage the abdomen with the fingertips in a circular motion), drinking warm beverages, taking a warm shower, performing waist-bending and pelvic rocking exercises, and walking. But take care! Homeopaths know that everyone is a unique individual. What helps one person may not another. Take time to find out what helps.

A Raspberry Tea is excellent for helping menstrual cramps. Also consider Chamomile Tea if there is accompanying tension.

Inadequate intake of Vitamin B6 has been shown to intensify menstrual problems. Consider supplementation (50mg daily) or eating more B6 rich food sources such as green, leafy vegetables, bananas, whole grains and fish.
Please seek professional help if

- the pain is severe.
- menstrual periods always hurt, or if other unexplained symptoms accompany the pain.
