cannabis soothes everything and everyone
Cramps, migraines, upset stomach... you name it, it helps.
Yes it does. There was talk of trying to get it legalised for pain relief over here in the UK.
In my experience with cramping women, Cannibis sativa has helped a lot. Gentle massage of the pubic region has also helped some too!
FOR SURE!
yes it does...
Homeopathic Treatment for Menstrual Cramps -- Elaine Lewis http://www.hpathy.com/diseases/menstrual...
Who hasn't had menstrual cramps! Well, alright, at least half of you. But the other half are going to know what I'm talking about. Hopefully, you have a home remedy kit, do you? Go to www.a2zhomeopathy.com (or read this article on Homeopathy Remedy Kits)and order their 30C Emergency Kit, it contains 50 remedies in a very small case that you can carry with you. Washington Homeopathics also sells an emergency kit of the same size. In Europe, check out Helios and Ainsworth's Pharmacy for online orders. Of course, many other vendors sell emergency kits as well. That being said, here are your remedies for painful menses:-
Belladonna--Throbbing pains, violent pains, worse on the right side. Sudden onset. Bright red, clotted, hot, profuse bleeding. Congested/full feeling in uterus. Bearing down sensation. Irritable with maddening pains. Better lying down, propped up; thirst for cold water or no thirst at all, desire for lemons or lemonade, worse motion, worse from being jarred, worse light and noise.
Chamomilla--The mentals will be the guiding symptoms here. The person may be hypersensitive and intolerant to the pain--very irritable, easily angered and inconsolable. Intense pains extending down inner thighs. The blood may be black with large clots with gushing of bright red blood. The person desires cold drinks, is worse lying down, better cold applications.
Colocynthis--This one looks a lot like Mag-phos. (see below). There's a bit more emphasis on the amelioration from hard pressure with this one. There may be an exaggerated "bending double" postition; with Mag-phos, the heat is more important than the hard pressure, though Colocynth likes heat as well. Thirsty. Irritable, indignant. Anger aggravates.
Lac Caninum--Painful swelling of the breasts before the period. Flow is in gushes. Pains may alternate from side to side.
Lachesis--PMS-irritable, jealous, depressed, headache, flushes of heat all ameliorated with the onset of the flow. Severe cramps, worse from pressure of the clothing, ameliorated with the onset of the flow. Flow may be black, scanty, lumpy; the less the flow, the more the pain. Better from open air, cold drinks, talking, worse from sleep, heat, hot drinks.
Magnesia Phosphorica--This is the main one; if you're not sure what to do, give Mag-phos. This is the typical picture of a woman with her period, doubled up with a hot water bottle or heating pad pressed firmly against her stomach. The flow is dark. She wants to be nurtured; better hot baths, better pressure, worse lying on the right side. Thirst for cold drinks.
Nux Vomica--Pain in lower back with constant urging to stool. Patient may be chilly and very irritable, impatient and angry. Better rest, lying down, worse pressure--even pressure of clothing. Desire for fats and spicy foods.
Pulsatilla--The menses are easily suppressed, for instance, by getting the feet wet or by bathing. Menses are irregular and the flow is irregular--changeable. The mentals will be a tip off here. The Pulsatilla person is weepy, changeable, shy, dependent, wants nurturing, love, attention; she is thirstless; she craves creamy things--whipped cream, ice cream; she is warm, worse in warm rooms, better in open air, walking slowly in cool crisp weather.
Sabina--Severe cramps extend from low back to pubis; also, pain extends from uterus to thighs. Blood is bright red or bright red mixed with dark clots. Shooting pain up the vagina. Better lying flat on the back with limbs extended.
Secale--Continuous discharge of watery black blood until the next period.
Sepia--Weak uterus, bearing down sensation as if all the organs would fall out, must cross her legs; menses late, scanty, irregular or early and profuse. Violent stitches upward in the vagina. Low sex drive. Patient may be angry, tired, chilly, irritable and over-worked. She may desire sour foods like pickles, but also may desire chocolate. She may be much improved by exercise, worse from cold, better warmth.
Veratrum Album--Heavy periods, severe cramps often associated with diarrhea and vomiting. Chilliness with cold sweat, especially on the forehead, and weakness/exhaustion, feels faint; may desire ice water.
How to take your remedy:
Tap one, two or three 30C pellets into the cap of the remedy bottle and pop them into your mouth. Allow them to melt.
If subsequent doses are needed, tap a few pellets into a bottle of water, shake the bottle and take a sip as often as the severity of the condition seems to warrant. Always remember to shake first. By putting the remedy in water and shaking before each dose, we can prevent the problems that might come from overdosing.
How often to take the remedy depends on how much or how little you're improving since the first dose. If at any time there is a striking or noticable improvement, there is no reason to keep taking the remedy unless the improvement stops.
If the improvement is advancing slowly, a general rule is take the remedy 3 or 4 times a day for 3 days, and stop or take less often when you are sure you are getting better.
Since there are no real rules about this, the idea is to take the remedy often enough to ensure a steady improvement, but not so often that you cause an aggravation. In fact, if at any time you think you're getting worse, stop the remedy. You may have caused an aggravation, but, that should wear off quickly and an improvement should follow. Again, if the improvement slows down or stops, repeat the dose. In general, if there has been no improvement at all after 3 doses or 6 hours, try another remedy.
If you are helped by one of these remedies but find that the symptoms keep coming back every month just the same, you might want to consider seeing a homeopath for constitutional treatment, which means prescribing for the whole person, so that you can be free of painful menses once and for all.
