Period Cramps Natural Home Remedies
Mustard
Boiling one teaspoon of mustard seed in eight ounces of water is a great home remedy for period cramps. Dip a washcloth in the mixture after it has been boiling for five minutes then place the washcloth over your navel area and let it sit for fifteen minutes. This should give you instant relief from your cramps and you won’t have to worry about them for the rest of the day. This remedy can be used as a preventive measure as well.

Less Salt
Decreasing your salt intake will help keep you hydrated and help with your blood circulation so that you don’t experience cramps during your period. This can be done by not adding salt to any of your foods while you are cooking or before eating anything. Try to avoid fast food and other premade food because they all contain added salt.
