Hi there, Yes, there are certain herbs and spices that may help with respect to menstrual cramps, however, if you are suffering from severe cramps, then, I'd suggest you to see a doctor,once. The herbs and spices that can be beneficial in alleviating period cramps are as follows. - Ginger - it reduces inflammation and can ease menstrual cramps. - Fennel- It contains a compound named as anethole which can help in reducing period pain and cramps. - Chamomile - This can be consumed as tea before bedtime. Chamomile is anti-inflammatory in nature. - Cinnamon-Cinnamon also happens to anti-inflammatory in nature and reduces the action of prostaglandins which are responsible for period cramps. Hence, little cinnamon consumption may help as per studies. - Peppermint- The menthol in peppermint can have an analgesic effect, and it can also act as a muscle relaxant. These herbs can work to alleviate period cramps but you need to consume a well-balanced diet for overall health :) Take care ✨

Hi there, I hope you are well. Certain foods such as spicy foods, alcohol, chocolate, dairy products (to a certain extent), oily or fried foods, caffeine, salty foods, baked goods, salad dressings, fizzy drinks, citrus fruits, beans, legumes, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes can lead to digestive issues. Even raw garlic, and onion can cause cramping. How to tackle it? 1) Firstly try to rule out the triggers, you can start by eliminating a few foods listed above, one by one, and see if your symptoms are better or if the episodes have reduced. 2) Don't give large gap in between your meals. 3) Eat your food slowly and chew it well, eating in haste can be a big reason for indigestion as well. 4) Begin your day with a healthy meal, and avoid sugary cereals or a heavy unhealthy breakfast (cheese sandwiches, burgers, bakery items, etc). 5) Avoid overeating. I hope this helps :)
