Every woman will agree on this, sometimes it is the most painful time of the month, other times it gets you angry but you dont know why, sometimes you wait for it and when it comes you are grateful. Your period.

I can say for sure that women only have about seventeen days in a month to feel absolutely normal and not be under any sort of influence or pain that comes with menstruation, no thanks to PMS.

Now here are a few tips on how to get through this aching experience at home:

Bend a lot, stretch a lot
Yoga! Yes, do the yoga. It is high on the recommendation list. This helps to ease the pain Poses that target the pelvis and lumbar region, where period pain is the worst, may be the most helpful.
Stretch as much as you can and feel the pain ease away.

Drink water
Yes, water. This cannot be over emphasized, we will keep saying this over and again on so many levels but it is as important to the relief of menstrual cramps as is it to diet and exercise. You might think it makes no sense to add more water to your body when you feel bloated already, but it is very important to consume 8-10 glasses of water every day to prevent and alleviate period cramping. On the other hand be sure to empty your bladder every time you have the urge and do so as quickly as possible.

Exercise and massage
It does not need to be especially strenuous exercise, simple walking can ease your pain. Swimming works well too. The key is aerobic exercise with emphasis on the abdominal, thigh and back muscles.
Also, gently massage the abdomen and the lower back to relieve cramps. When you are having the menstrual cramps, massaging pressure points will help to increase circulation and thereby will help to relieve pain from cramping and reduce your weakness.

Enjoy hot baths now
A hot bath helps. While cleaning your body you could press your tummy with the hot water as the heat opens vessels and improves blood flow, so pain dissipates and this slowly eases your body.

Try this and you might never have to worry about PMS or menstrual cramps any more.
