Apply Heat For Menstrual Cramps
Researchers report that between 45% and 95% of women use heating pads to relieve menstrual pain. According to studies, this home remedy can work. Scientists from the University of Cincinnati found that heating pads relieve pain over time. Pain reduced 27% in the first hour, 43% in the second hour, and 79% by the fourth hour.
Heat works because it relaxes the muscles. Contrary to popular belief, it does not increase blood flow to the area. But if you don’t want to use painkillers for cramps, buy a heating pad.
