How to manage period cramps during the winter season
Include turmeric in the diet
Turmeric, rich in anti-inflammatory properties, can alleviate cramps and abdominal pain, and can be added to soups, curry, vegetables, and milk.
Stay hydrated
Bloating during menstruation can cause discomfort and cramps. Drinking enough water and hot water can alleviate pain, increase blood flow, and relax muscles.
Opt for herbal teas
Chamomile, fennel, or ginger teas have anti-inflammatory properties, easing period pain and aiding in de-stressing and relaxation, but not overindulging.
Don’t forget to apply heat
Menstrual cramps can be managed with hot therapy, such as heating pads, hot water, or baths, which increase blood flow and relax muscles, reducing pain.
Exercise without fail
Exercises can release endorphins, which are natural painkillers, which can bring happiness, reduce pain, and relax muscles.
