Any advice on relieving cramps!!!!

I am searcing for advice on relieving cramps with natural remedies. I know Alicia reccomends light foods, soups, low sodium but cramps girls!!! I could pop a pill made from crude oil into my stomach as it reaks havoc on my insides and does relieve the pain. I am teaching this morning and normally I would go for the crude oil pill of choice but with this new lifestyle I would prefer something natural and wholesome. Any advice please. I want to share it with another group of ladies so better late than never!!!
I would love to hear about this also. First day of my period I ALWAYS end up taking pain meds because my cramps are so bad. I hate doing it!
Cannabis. Quite a few of my girlfriends use cannabis for cramp relief - I am biased, a huge cannabis advocate but - some of my girlfriends only use cannabis during "that time" and it totally relaxes them.
hi. page 290. the drink and the adjustments work i promise. weird but true
I'm going to try what Alicia recommends this month...I actually went on birth control partially because my cramps were so bad I couldn't get out of bed on the first day of my period. Every month if it was the first day, I'd have to cancel anything I was doing, couldn't even walk let alone work or hang out with friends. I'm totally going to try Alicia's remedies, and I hope that cleaning up my diet will lessen the negative effects as well. Once when I got my period at a renaissance fair and had no medication on me, I ordered two cups of mead and drank those, and they helped lessen the pain, although I was pretty tipsy (very low tolerance because I rarely drink). Well, good luck to the ladies! I know how horrendous that time of the month can be, not to mention bloating and mood swings! haha looking forward to it :)
I read and reread page 290! I just think I missed my opportunity for it to work. I can't get some of the ingredients for the drink too. I will make sure next month to prepare in advance and hopefully I will pull through with less pain. I didn't give into the crude oil pill. I worked through the pain and made it of course. However I got awful headache this morning and went as long as I could without the toxic pill. I did only take one instead of two that they recommend. Thank you for all the advice I will just prepare in advance next time. Some one did recommend to me primrose oil! Never tried it though.
How many times a day do you have to take the Hauschka remedy/drink the tea? I'm going to try Alicia's method as well, but I can't find Burdock anywhere...Anyway, I'm just wondering because I am not looking forward to horrendous cramps and it would be so lovely not to take Aleve, as it's the only pill I take ever, and I want to phase it out. I'll try to go low on the sodium, but I'm a huge fan of shoyu...Still attempting to add less of it to things :). Thanks for the advice!
