@naturalhealthrising: The trials that showed benefit for period pain ran for at least three menstrual cycles with multiple sessions per cycle. Consistency over several cycles matters more than any single session. I go twice per month leading up to my period (alongside other healthy lifestyle choices & supplements - see below). Acupuncture can increase blood flow and activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Since stress is a huge PMS trigger, reducing it in the lead-up to your period matters. It’s important to remember that cramps are largely driven by prostaglandins, which are inflammatory compounds. So lowering inflammation is another huge piece of reducing pain. Here are some things that will reduce your PMS: Magnesium glycinate at appox. 300 mg or more: relaxes smooth muscle, one of the most reliable interventions for cramping Omega 3s at 2g: directly lower inflammation Ginger: has performed comparably to NSAIDs for menstrual pain in multiple trials Vitamin B6 approximately 50mg of P5P form Anti-inflammatory diet, regulating your blood sugar, 8 hours of sleep, daily sunshine and regular exercise. How you feel on your period each month is information for you on how you may need to adjust your diet, lifestyle and supplements. Listen closely! What works for you? Comment below.
