Menstrual Cramps - Suffer No More!

To reduce the intensity of menstrual symptoms, you can change your diet:
·Less sugar, and slightly more protein.
·Diuretic foods such as eggplant, cucumbers and parsley can help diminish water retention.
·Calcium supplements (1 gram per day) and magnesium (500 milligrams) can help reduce anxiety (always take both).
·Vitamin B-6 (not more than 50 milligrams per day) can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and tension.
·Vitamins E and C also help reduce the intensity of cramps.
·Aspirin has a mildly soothing effect.
· And once again you can turn to plants to relieve your pains:
* ANGELICA in infusion: 3 1/2 tablespoons of root per quart of water.
* MATRIX (derived from the Latin for womb): 2 teaspoons of flowers per quart of water.
* MILFOI OR YARROW which soothes and reduces overly
abundant menstruation: about 5 1/2 tablespoons of flower tops per
quart of water.
* SAGE in infusion: I 1/2 tablespoons of dried leaves per quart of water.
In extreme cases, ask your doctor for medication to alleviate pain.
