Natural ways to ease period pains – The pain that you experience during a period is caused when the uterus sheds its inner lining. At this time of the month, your body produces hormones called prostaglandins, which trigger the contraction of the uterus to help expel the lining and this is what causes the throbbing pain of menstrual cramps.

Not everyone experiences menstrual cramps, but about three out of every four women do and, for around one in ten women, those cramps can be severe enough to interfere with normal daily activities. Whether your period pains are severe, or mild, it’s still not something anyone looks forward to, so let’s take a look at ten tips on how to ease period pain.
1. Apply heat
It’s the muscles of the uterus contracting that is causing the pain and, if you apply heat to the area, it will help to relax the muscles, and reduce the pain. You can buy-over-the-counter heating pads, or you could just use some hot water in a bottle and hold that over your abdomen. Don’t discount heat as just being an old wives tale, it really is a good tip on how to ease period pain.
2. Get out in the sun
Studies have proven that Vitamin D, which is created by exposure to sunlight, can decrease the severity of menstrual cramps. Though you might not be feeling like taking a long walk, getting out in the sun for an hour two really could ease your period pains.
