Chamomille hot tea works a lot for me, a heating pad, and some midol:)

i started my period at age 9 and am now 26. the only thing i have ever found to help my period is a heating pad and laying on my side with my legs curled up to my chest. i have been dealing with stabbing painful cramps every month since i was 10.

Drink hot milk along with some turmeric powder in it. This would reduce the congestion and thereby reduce the cramps

Drinking a cup of:
- tablespoon of an herb called Ajowan
- water
Drink around two days before your period helps A LOT (ajowan comes from the parsley family, which explains)

Avoid sodas and milk the week you’re expecting your period, and have some probiotic tablets to avoid bacterial infections

Ive found that Aleve is the best over the counter med for cramps.. Nothing else seems to help me.. I also have a massaging heating pad which works wonders when I have cramps.. It was only 30.00 at CVS and totally worth it! The massage feature helps my lower back and the heat helps too…

One thing I think that really helps is light exercise. I don’t get cramps very often, but when I do, I just try and make some movement and it always helps. Also, just keeping yourself flexible by stretching frequently. I think one reason I haven’t had any bad cramps in a while is because I’ve been stretching regularly, nearly everyday as often as I can. Plus being bendy just comes in handy. XD Improving your diet as well. If you keep your body healthy, everything works better. A friend of mine swears by eating chocolate to relieve the worst of her cramps, but I’ve yet to try it, so I’m not sure. Also, cinnamon tea, ginger tea, oregano tea, ginseng tea, peppermint tea, marigold tea, chamomile tea, lantana tea, or Evening Primrose oil. Or any combination thereof. And try taking a bath with some lavender essential oil, mineral salts, and any of the herbs listed above thrown in. And then a nice cup of valerian root tea to send you off to sleep. ^-^

Try drinking hot tea and heating raw rice in a sock and placing it on the abdomen. But hey what do I know? I’m thirteen and started my period for the 1st time 3 days ago.

Nothing works better than taking a hot bubble bath, then try to get a massage and try to be as comfortable as possible, drink a hto cup of ginger tea and then take an Advil when ever the pain comes on. It really works…

Drink a lot of water and take plain rice without masala sabaji.(beans,carrots useful for that time)if u have more pain try to take spasmindon tab only one time.Avoid cold water,salt, sugar,leave vegetable ,coffee,cold drinks,milk,panipuri,pickle,patato,tamato and non-veg item. Try to take black tea with tulasi and without sugar. it will more effect to circulate your blood and relief from cramping pain,and use your mind in your favorite movie.IT IS THE BEST MEDICINE WHAT I HAVE EXPRIENCED.
