I used to pop Midol like crazy when I was on my period because I get cramps, fatigue, and also food cravings, sooooooo badly! Now that I have not taken any type of drug since, well my last period, I don't want to do it again! What are some miracle natural cures for this? If I don't have something to kill then pain then I can't make it through the day.
Calcium and Magnesium can help with cramps. I read at www.earthclinic.com that you can take a tablespoon or two of blackstrap molasses every day. It's a good source of iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Also a hot water bottle or heating pad can help a lot.
My naturopathic doctor from switzerland put me on progesterone cream for severe cramps where I couldn't get out of bed. You take it the two weeks before you start your period. Because we have so many chemicals out there that mock estrogen, the reason you get cramps is the huge imbalance of estrogen and progesterone, so by taking the progesterone cream you help make create a closer balance which will decrease cramps.
