​​What causes menstrual pain?​



Experiencing period cramps is awful. It necessitates an additional leave of absence or a forced break from daily routine for many women. According to medical experts, mild period discomfort is common and shouldn't cause too much worry but too much pain should be a reason for underlying nutrient deficiencies and health issues. During a menstrual cycle, a hormone called prostaglandin is released in women's ovaries; this can be a major cause of period cramps. Here are 5 natural ways to relieve the agonising menstrual pain.

2/6

Soaked Raisins and Kesar



One of the best food interventions for things like bloating and menstrual cramps is this morning drink that should be consumed empty stomach. Additionally, it can aid in treating an iron shortage and relieving constipation. Grab two tiny bowls. Add 4-5 black raisins to one and 1-2 strands of kesar or saffron to the other. Have them when you wake up in the morning.

3/6

​​Jaggery​



According to the International Journal of Chemical Studies, jaggery can help avoid menstrual blood loss-related weakness. Numerous important elements, including salt and potassium, can be found in jaggery. Additionally, it possesses antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects that aid in relieving uterine cramps. If you have mood swings, abdominal pain, or other symptoms during your period, chew on a little piece of jaggery.

4/6

​​Banana​



Have a banana on each day of your menstrual cycle. It is brimming with nutrients that will prevent bad menstrual cramps. You might have a lesser dinner portion as a result. As a result, you sleep better and wake up feeling rejuvenated. Potassium, fibre, and vitamin B are all abundant in bananas.

5/6

​​Aliv seeds​



Halim seeds, also known as aliv seeds or garden cress seeds, can guarantee easy and pain-free periods. These seeds are an excellent source of iron and folic acid. You may consume them as is or make a laddoo by combining these seeds with coconut and jaggery. You can also make a cup of turmeric milk and drink it at night with a pinch of aliv seeds. It might promote restful sleep. Consume one aliv laddoo daily for pain-free, smooth periods.

6/6

​​Ghee​



Each meal should have a teaspoon of ghee. In addition to helping you supply necessary fatty acids, it aids in the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
