1. Heat

Heat is one very effective method for relieving menstrual pain. There are many different ways to use heat on your lower abdomen! Try taking a hot shower. If that doesn’t work, you can buy a heating pad that plugs into an outlet if you have a day to spend at home on the couch during your period. Or you can try disposable ones if you are stuck at work. They work much like the disposable ice packs. Just shake to activate, then stick under your clothes. They are quite discreet! If you find yourself stuck without a heating pad, toss a bag of rice into the microwave for a few minutes. Works like a charm!

2. Painkillers

Painkillers are an obvious way to relieve menstrual pain. I like Advil the best, but some women find that aspirin, Tylenol, Midol or Ibuprofen works better for them. Take as directed on the bottle. Take the max amount for severe pain. Go ahead and pop them as soon as you feel the pain coming on. That way you can stop it in its tracks! You don’t need to wait until the pain is so severe you can’t stand anymore.

3. Natural remedies 

There are a few natural remedies that are very helpful for relieving menstrual pain, and even bloating or PMS! Among my favorite tried-and-true ones are Evening Primrose, German Chamomile Flower, St. John’s Wort, Kava Kava Root, Milk Thistle Seed and Black Cohesh Root. Try a few of these herbs and see if they make a difference! Take them daily for the few days leading up to your period , and every day while you are on your period for the best results.

4. Laying in the fetal position.

This may sound a little crazy, but laying in the fetal position is one way to relieve menstrual pain! Do you ever notice how a small baby will draw his legs up to his stomach when he has a tummy ache? That’s because the body automatically knows that this position helps relax tummy muscles and relieve the pain a bit. This may not be effective on its own, but I guarantee you if you double it up with a heating pad, or Advil, or both, you will get great results!

5. Taking vitamins

Surprisingly, taking vitamins is one way to relieve menstrual pain! I suppose it shouldn’t come as a surprise since it makes sense that what you eat makes a difference! While on your period, take supplements of zinc, calcium, and vitamin B. These are the vitamins that have been associated with reducing cramps and bloating. Also, try incorporating more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables into your diet. Decrease your salt consumption and see if that makes a difference.

6. Exercise 

Kind of odd to think of it this way, but exercise is one method to relieve menstrual pain. Getting active helps your muscles to relax a little bit and releases feel good endorphins in your brain. Of course, you don’t want to get out there pumping iron and jogging 10 miles on your heaviest day, but in the few days leading up to your period  and as much as you are able during your period, you should work exercise or at least walking into your daily routine.

7. Aromatherapy

 It’s no secret that aromatherapy is calming, soothing, and exhilarating all at once. So it would make sense that breathing in these aromas while on your period is one way to relieve menstrual pain! Draw yourself a nice hot bath, light a few candles, and put some aromatherapy oils in your bath water. The direct contact of them onto your tummy, plus the fact that you are breathing them in combined with the heat of your bath water will have marvelous results!

8. Massage

One of my favorite techniques to relieve menstrual pain is by massage. Yes! Massaging your stomach helps relieve menstrual pain! You can do it yourself, or have your sweetheart help you out. Gentle strokes and circular motions with light pressure on your abdomen area will help relax your muscles and relieve some of the pain and tension you are experiencing.

Hoping that with above 8 ways will help you relieve menstrual significantly
