| | Hi Ladies,
Sorry for posting this after so long - but I only found about it now and i needed to try it to see if it worked before posting it here.
To help relieve cramps and pains during menstrual cycle mix 1 teaspoon grated ginger and 1 teaspoon honey (you can use more if the taste of the ginger is too strong). Take this when the cramps and pain starts.
Instead of medication, now I only use this and it works for me.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Dear friends,
Before marriage I used to have all kinds of pains & cramps just b4 and during periods. My mom used to wash and soak a tbsp of methi seeds overnight and add powdered sugar to the methi in water, the next morning. mix well and make me eat that first thing in the morning. Initially I used to hate eating methi but it definitely helped in reducing the pain.
over a period of time, I started enjoying the sour & sugary taste of soaked methi.
Nowadays, I've severe pain only the first day and I take care the methi way and I'm alright.
I do agree with Poojitha about reducing salt, caffeine intake. I do follow these things during those 3 days.
Maybe you could also try it.

| | ways to get out of PMS
Nice Article,
its very much true, i was suffering with that, i use to hav problems in my personal life also due to loss of temper and unwanted fight, etc
after consulting my gynac, she suggested me a tablet for that EVEPEARL PMS , we can also do yoga especially ( the cobra pose) its very good releif for PMS, also meditation.
having taken that tablet for nearly 5 months, i am able to feel the difference i am also doing yoga .
I hav also reduced my sugar and salt intake and increased my fruits and vegetable intake as well as having nearly minimum of 10glasses of water everyday
I am not sure whether the tablet works or the pshycological feeling that i am taking some assistance works or the change in my food habits but it works and i am able to maintain my temper and health very well.
so if someone hav such problems its better we consult our gynac first and get good counselling.

| | Tips on controlling PMS Tips on controlling PMS - Eat complex carbohydrates (such as whole grain breads, pasta and cereals), fiber and protein. Cut back on sugar and fat.
- Avoid salt for the last few days before your period to reduce bloating and fluid retention.
- Cut back on caffeine to feel less tense and irritable and to ease breast soreness.
- Cut out alcohol. Drinking it before your period can make you feel more depressed.
- Try eating up to 6 small meals a day instead of 3 larger ones.
- Get aerobic exercise. Work up to 30 minutes, 4 to 6 times a week.
- Get plenty of sleep--about 8 hours a night.
- Keep to a regular schedule of meals, bedtime and exercise.
- Try to schedule stressful events for the week after your period.

Dear Friend,
Today I shall post in the thread " Home-remedies" one or two tips on what you have asked for. I can't say they are 100 % effective the same way for every individual, but they are totally safe & free from side-effects ! They belong to my grandma's prescription !
Love & regards,
Chithra.

| | relief from pain
Hi Rizwana!
Atleast a week before your cycle begins, try to avoid high salt foods like chips, salted nuts, bakery goods like cakes, biscuits, chocolates and other sweets. Also try to limit the intake of rice and other starchy foods. Go for the vegetable salads and fruits as much as you like. This kind of diet helps me a lot. Also try to take some vitamin and mineral supplements atleast a week before. With all these if you still have pain, I dont think its any wrong to take Ibuprofen or such pain killers.
Limiting your salt and sweet and starch intake is the main point. Try this and let me know how the results are.
Cheers
Pranuthi
