Here are the natural remedies, other than taking NSAIDS medication.
Nutrition and Supplements
Eat foods that are rich in calcium. They include beans, almonds, and dark green leafy vegetables (such as spinach and kale).
Eat foods that are high in antioxidants, including fruits (such as blueberries, cherries, and tomatoes), and vegetables (such as squash and bell pepper).
Avoid refined foods, such as white breads, pastas, and sugar.
Eat fewer red meats and more lean meats, cold-water fish, tofu (soy, if no allergy), or beans for protein.
Use healthy cooking oils, such as olive oil or vegetable oil.
Some women find that adding soy milk to their diet helps relieve menstrual pain.
Eliminate trans-fatty acids, found in commercially baked goods such as cookies, crackers, cakes, French fries, onion rings, donuts, processed foods, and margarine.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco.
Drink 6 - 8 glasses of filtered water daily.
Exercise at least 30 minutes daily, 5 days a week.
The following supplements may also help relieve menstrual pain:
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil, about 6 g per day, to help lower inflammation. A few studies have found that women who took fish oil had less menstrual pain than those who took placebo. Omega-3 fatty acids may increase the risk of bleeding, especially for people who take blood-thinning medication. Ask your doctor before taking omega-3 fatty acids.
Calcium citrate, 500 - 1,000 mg daily. Calcium is needed for healthy bones, and may also help reduce menstrual pain because it helps maintain muscle tone. Evidence isn' t clear, however. One study found that calcium did reduce menstrual pain, but in another study it seemed that calcium reduced premenstrual pain but did not help after a woman' s period started. Calcium citrate is the form of calcium that your body absorbs most easily.
Vitamin D, 400 IU daily, helps your body use calcium and may reduce inflammation.
Vitamin E, 500 IU daily, may help reduce menstrual pain. In one study, 100 young women took either 500 IU of vitamin E or placebo for 5 days (2 days before and 3 days after their periods started). Those who took vitamin E reported less pain than those who took placebo.
Magnesium, 360 mg daily for 3 days on the day before menstruation starts. One study that used this dosage found that it reduced menstrual cramps in women who took it. A few other preliminary studies have also suggested that magnesium may help reduce menstrual pain. Too much magnesium can cause diarrhea and lower blood pressure. If you have digestive problems or heart disease, ask your doctor before taking magnesium.
