Painful Monthly: Traditional Medicine

What is the periodic pain in women? These are regular, with an approximate interval in a month of pain during menstruation. We once again get the usual box with an anesthetic and try to fight with the inevitable malaise. That's just the next question: "Why every month to swallow the chemistry, if there is a well-proven means of our grandmothers to ease the regular female pain?"

Algodismenorea - painful menstruation, quite often accompanying girls and young women. The pains are aching or cramping, centering in the lower abdomen or lumbar region, accompanied by general weakness, malaise, headache, nausea and even vomiting.

It is important in this case not to overdo it, because all the same abuse of heat is undesirable for the female body. A good treatment is also considered to be general restorative treatment: outdoor walks, moderate exercise and gymnastics, skiing and skating, hardening procedures and bathing on non-critical days.
