Menstrual cramps are one thing a man will never understand. And yet like the superwoman you are, you smile, grit through the day even though you feel like someone is literally trying to tear through your uterus by stabbing or punching you from the inside out. And here you are, still smiling and cracking jokes even though you want to punch someone in the face for one second of relief.

Can you relate? Even if your cramps aren’t this bad all the time, they still are something that you just don’t want to deal with every month. I GET IT!

I have spent a lot of time figuring out what how to naturally get rid of my cramps because I refuse to take pills or accept that this is normal. Fun fact: HAVING CRAMPS IS NOT NORMAL! PMS SYMPTOMS ARE NOT NORMAL.

So to get to the root of making your period actually enjoyable and a time for releasing, here are some products that have made my period painless and forget that it is even happening (and I am being serious, no bullshit here!):

Raspberry Leaf Tea

When women are pregnant, most doctors suggest drinking this tea to prep and strengthen your uterus for birth. A cup a day for the trimester you are in, so 3 trimester = 3 cups.

Anyway, raspberry leaf tea can actually still help you strengthen your uterus for your menstrual cycle so the contractions from your period aren’t so intense to eliminate the cramp. Pretty amazing huh from just a cup of tea?! If your cramps are really bad, I suggest drinking it daily for a few months until you notice cramps reducing or just drink it the week of your period.

This is my favorite raspberry leaf tea. Make sure you get the LEAVES not the flavor. No added sugars or crap…you want the most natural leaves to get the best results.

Propolis

Another rave from me about propolis, but I seriously believe in bee products for amazing healing powers. I had debilitating cramps to the point where I couldn’t walk, sit, move…nothing but cry in pain. I started taking propolis and whatever magic it has, it worked!

My next period I didn’t even know it was happening or felt a thing all week. Propolis helps remove toxins from your body and reduce inflammation so if you are struggling with endometriosis this might be a life saving product to try! (I’m not a doctor, so do your research and ask your doctor before taking it…I’m just speaking from my personal experience.)

This is my all time favorite propolis, I trust and love the products from this company: https://www.durhamsbeefarm.com/products/propolis-capsules-500mg

Frankincense

2 drops of this magical essential oil rubbed on your uterus bring so much relaxation and relief it’s unreal. Frankincense helps reduce inflammation and pain which is why it can be so affective in helping with your cramps. Here is my favorite oil to use so I can avoid taking Ibuprofen and keep this all natural.
