Q: I get awful cramps that cripple me! All I can do is curl up in bed and try to ease the pain but it doesn’t ease up at all. I get terrible nausea at the same time, so any pain killers I take are thrown back up before they can help! Are there any natural remedies I can take before the pain and nausea kicks in?

A: I get really awful cramps too.1st of all I swear by peppermint tea. I drink it all day when its that time of the month. its supposed to be helpful with stomach pains and seems to work for me. if nothing else at least the warm tea in your belly is soothing and relaxing.absolutely don’t take a hot bath or shower. its common sense that cold water clots blood right? well hot does the exact opposite.you don’t want too much hot water in your ‘personal area’ during this time of month, it will make your flow worse and heavier. of course you need to shower but keep the water just warm and don’t stay in there and soak for hours.instead I just get an old plastic water/soda bottle and fill it with very hot sink water, screw on the cap and place the bottle over my lower abdomen with something light (like a cotton tee shirt) in between my skin and the bottle. that way I don’t burn my skin. this seems to work really well. better than any store bought water bottles…try drinking some hot tea, making a hot water bottle and taking a light nap…this usually helps. I end up watching movies all day in my sweats and eating junkfood lol. if all else fails…go on the pill
