Dealing with Horrible Period Cramps Without Hormonal Birth Control

Evening primrose oil works incredibly well for menstrual cramps!

Hello im Angelina. And when my period comes its either heavy or light but they last like 10 days.i have had a period when I bleed right throughout the pad or tampon. Gross. I even bleed right onto the passenger seat. Yucky! What is or what can I do?

Rub slightly diluted clary sage oil over your uterine area, where the cramps are the worst. It takes away my cramps pretty quick. Test it on a small patch of skin first though. Some people's skin is really sensitive and needs it more diluted.

You could ask your doctor (or maybe you will need more of a homeopathic/holistic provider) about the herb Belladonna. In my chronic pain research journey, I have stumbled upon it a few times and it seems effective, but it also appears necessary to be under the direction of a professional as it can be dangerous in the wrong quantity. I am not a professional and I don’t know too much about it but it is the only other thing I can think of to help you because I am sure you have tried the “traditional” things(heat,Advil,etc). I also second the comment above that said to drink tons of water.

I take 600-800 mg of ibuprofen or 550 mg of naproxen before I start cramping and it works like a charm. I only take it for 1 or 2 days and Then I’m good. Also exercise helps, I don’t get really bad cramps after exercising. And I find when I drink lots of water it helps. I’m only going on hormonal birth control though, since my periods cause severe depression.

Thank you, I will look into it
