7 natural remedies to cope easily with the menstrual period

As women, we know all too well what it’s like during menstruation, when pain, cramps and bloating can spoil our mood and prevent us from doing the things we want to do. Menstruation should not be a difficult time for any of us. Let’s not think of that week as a burden, but instead manage to get on with our plans, go to work, see friends, enjoy family. But how can we do all these things when menstrual pain overwhelms us or when the menstrual flow is far too heavy and there is fear of spotting at any time?

In this article, we have aimed to help you by presenting several remedies for menstrual cramps to cope with this period with ease.

Learn all about fighting heavy periods and using the right intimate hygiene products for your menstrual flow. But also what’s the link between menstrual cups and menstrual pain and how you can relieve it.

Relieving menstrual pain

Menstrual pain affects many women, and the first thought to relieve it is to administer painkillers to combat the pain. For some people these may work, for others they may not. But generally the pain is only relieved momentarily. An effective solution for soothing menstrual pain can be the menstrual cup. Created by Femi.Eko specialists to provide greater comfort for every woman, it can also help to reduce pain. Many women who have used menstrual cups have reported less menstrual pain. The menstrual cup is a medical device that puts pressure on the uterine muscles, which are responsible for cramps. The fact that it doesn’t allow the muscles to contract as much translates into less menstrual pain and much lower intensity.

Fighting heavy menstruation

Heavy menstruation comes with an extra worry on those days of the month, that’s because you’re constantly afraid of getting stained. To avoid any such problems, it’s essential to know exactly which menstrual items suit you. Adjusting your menstrual cycle, i.e. your menstrual flow, can take some time, after childbirth for example. That’s why at Femi.Eko you’ll find intimate hygiene products specially designed for different flows, including the ‘super-heavy’ one.

Movement before and during menstrual periods

Health is all about movement, which is why we encourage you to eliminate sedentary lifestyles and exercise as much as you can. And yes, you can even exercise during your period. It will help you feel better and reduce any discomfort on those days. You can confidently turn to a menstrual cup to enjoy freedom of movement for up to 12 hours, depending on your menstrual flow. The risk of staining is minimal. During your period, you can even exercise at home, such as pilates or yoga. Or why not go for a long walk in the park or a run.

Avoidance of certain foods

Be careful what you eat during your period. Avoid coffee and fatty foods as much as possible, as they will intensify your menstrual pain. Eat fruit and vegetables, lean meat and herbal teas.

Consumption of herbal teas

Speaking of herbal teas, they are ideal to drink during menstruation because they can relieve some of your pain. Drink chamomile tea, berry tea, jasmine tea. Ginger tea, for example, is also excellent during your period. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that will reduce pain.

Hydration

In addition to water and tea, eat foods to help keep you hydrated during your period, such as hot soups.

Heat

I’m sure you’ve noticed that when you feel warm in your abdomen and back, your menstrual pains subside. This can be helped by warm compresses, such as a towel held on the radiator or a bottle filled with warm water. In the long term, we recommend using a heating belt, which you can take with you when you leave home.

Your period doesn’t have to be a burden. Use the remedies above to help you get through the few days of the month more easily, even when you have heavy menstrual flow or pain that prevents you from carrying out your daily activities.
