When we changed out eating habits as a family I prayed to the Lord asking him to help me with this because I never liked putting drugs in my body and I really want to stop. I researched painful menstruation and alternative remedies for it. To God be the glory, gradually the pain lessened and it's to the point where I can carry on a normal conversation and not take painkillers.
These are the herbs that I use for painful menstruation:
Rosemary
Ginger(for cramps)
Chamomile
Red Raspberry
Peppermint
Vervain
Back to Eden
has this to say:Constipation is the one common cause of painful menstruation. Relieve the bowels and colon with high enemas. Keep the body warm at all times, using a hot water bottle at night, if necessary. Keep off the feet as much as possible, especially the first day. A hot sitz bath or hot fomentation to the spine and abdomen often afford relief at once. Fomentations will always relieve the pain. Give as long as necessary and repeat.
Other herbs recommended in The Little Herb Encyclopedia
:Blessed Thistle
Cramp Bark(for cramps)
Feverfew(for cramps)
Guggul
Lady's Slipper
Passion Flower
Queen of the Meadow
Sassafras
Shepherd's Purse
Spearmint(for cramps)
Squaw Vine
Wild Yam(for cramps)

That's awesome Regina! Thanks for sharing your testimony and experience with magnesium.
ReplyDeleteJenn thank you for posting this. It is very helpful for people to know there are other ways out there other than the traditional westernized and very expensive medical route. I too had very painful periods and prayed my little heart out too for healing and/or relief. Answers came, as they came for you. Such is the way when we ask within :) I am curious though, are you still feeling pain to any degree? If so, I you can be healed and free from the whole range pain and discomfort. There is real healing involved, but takes dediction. If you're interested in sharing stories and finding out more, please contact me at allycatt25@gmail.com This is not a scam or any kind, nor is there any money involved. I geinuinely desire to help. What we've come to accept and are to accept as normal periods is not normal at all and we can be healed completely without pills, chemicals and the normal medical route. I have been healed completely and have participated in the healing of other women. I simply want to off what I've experienced and come to understand as a result. Healing is possible. Thank you ...I invite anyone else who reads this post and desires healing to contact me as well. Peace and Good Love my dear sisters of the world!
ReplyDeleteAt Thanksgiving a friend sold me CALM magnesium supplement. This friend is an energetic 74-year-old blessing to everyone she is around. She takes magnesium four times a day to prevent muscle cramps.
ReplyDeleteThe bottle said it is helpful for PMS. Usually my first day is painful and it helps to just sleep for a few hours. Since starting magnesium a couple times a day, I can work right through all the days of my cycle with very little discomfort.
