Home Remedies for Dysmenorrhoea

Dysmenorrhoea or pain during menstruation is a major cause of pre-menstrual syndrome. Some girls are so conscious of their menstrual periods that they avoid doing their routine work one or two days before menstruation. They can very well guess the advent of menstruation when they start having cramps in the legs, slight abdominal pain or feel lethargic.

1. Pain is observed more in case of those with iron deficiency or general debility. It is important to have a well-balanced nutritious diet. Take green vegetables, seasonal fruits, dates, coconut, milk and milk products, whole grain cereals, whole pulses, mustard leaves, bathua, spinach, fenugreek, dried fruits and eggs.
2. Roast 10 gms of asafoetida in ghee and take in very small amounts twice a day with a mixture of milk and one teaspoon honey so that the asafoetida lasts for a month.
3. Half teaspoon of sesame powder taken with warm water twice a day is also useful to relieve pain.
4. Bathua is very good both for covering anaemia and pain during menstruation.
5. One teaspoon of radish seed powder taken along with warm water twice a day is good in such conditions.
6. During menstruation mix one teaspoon of juice of neem leaves with 2 teaspoons ginger juice and 3 teaspoons of water to relieve pain.
