Try eating bananas, they help!. Also, drink chamomile tea!. Try putting something hot onto your lower stomach, like a heating pad or something of that sort!. It always helps me!. Just make sure to keep warm, and always apply something warm to your stomach!. I also noticed that it helps when you have warm socks on, I always wear my fuzzy ones!. Do that, and I'm sure you'll get some relief!. Good luck!. God bless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

"!.!.!. an orgasm can cause your uterus to contract, enabling it to use up excess prostaglandins in the process!. Prostagladins are hormones produced by your uterine lining!. They help to stimulate contractions that move menstrual blood out of the uterus, and are also responsible for those cramps that occur throughout your period!."

Naproxen, aspirin, and ibuprofen help by short-circuiting the production of pain-causing chemicals called prostaglandins that are involved in muscle contractions!. They work best if you start an hour before your cramps hit!. "Load up with a double dose and keep the blood level up," Haas says!. (The maximum safe daily dose of ibuprofen is 2,400 milligrams, or 12 200-mg pills!. Take the minimum dosage that works for you!.) Right when you get your period, start with 800 mg and then go to 600 mg every six hours!. But talk to your doctor if you have elevated heart disease risks; the Food and Drug Administration recently reported that all NSAIDs, except aspirin, may heighten cardiovascular risks!. And remember that extended use of high dosages of aspirin or NSAIDs may cause gastrointestinal troubles!.
Omega-3 fats from fish oil seem to block prostaglandin production, too!. And research shows that women with low intakes of omega-3s have more painful periods!. While mainstream docs are mostly neutral on the idea of increasing omega-3s to fight period pain, some think it makes sense!.
Heat is an old-fashioned, but useful remedy for relaxing crampy muscles!. Get out your heating pad, or try new nonprescription heat wraps, which last for eight hours and can be worn under clothes
