Natural Remedies for Painful Menstruation

Dalene Barton - Certified Herbalist, Birth Doula
July 13, 2021

For many women, their bleeding time each month can be a painful experience. For thousands of years women have come up for a variety of reasons why this is happening to them, and the pain can vary from woman to woman. For some women, the pain is debilitating. In this, article we’ll discuss the causes of painful menstrual cramps and some natural ways to decrease the pain including herbs such as evening primrose and dong quai; and self-care such as self fertility massage and fertility yoga.

Painful menstruation is known as dysmenorrhea which literally means “difficult menstruation”. Each month when the uterine lining sheds as menstruation, the uterus must contract. In women with dysmenorrhea the contractions are very painful. The uterus may even spasm. Pain can be localized to the lower abdomen, but it can also be in the lower back, in the vulva, as well as radiating down the thighs. This wave-like pain is often accompanied by headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The pain can begin up to 24 hours before menses begins and usually lasts for the first 48 hours once menses begins. In some women the pain may last up to 72 hours once menses begins.

Painful menstruation is one of the leading causes for women to miss work. In a 2017 UK-based YouGov survey of 1,157 U.S.-based females], “30% of women who have worked have had to take time off of their job because of period pain. 68% of these women said they didn’t their employer the true reason for taking the time off.” This type of regular monthly pain also makes painful menstruation one of the leading reasons for regular use of NSAID’s (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

If you have extremely painful menstruation it is important to talk to your doctor about this. It is important to rule out if what you are experiencing is actual Primary Dysmenorrhea, or Secondary Dysmenorrhea. Primary means that it is the first issue, whereas secondary means there is another health issue causing or contributing to the painful menstruation. For example; Secondary Dysmenorrhea is often caused by endometriosis, ovarian cysts, or uterine fibroids. There may also be other factors that are causing pain that may also need to be ruled out, such as IBS, constipation, UTI, etc. If you know that you have other fertility issues that are the underlying cause of your menstrual pain, it is important to address those issues as well. While it is always easier to treat pain acutely (when it is happening) rather than address the root cause, it is very important to find out what is causing the pain in your body.

What Causes Painful Menstrual Cramps?

In the ’70s, studies began to come out that showed a link to why women experience painful menstrual cramps. Scientists discovered that women with menstrual cramps had high levels of prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2). Prostaglandin F2 alpha is made by the uterus to stop progesterone production when there has been no implantation at the end of the menstrual cycle. Women with Dysmenorhea have been shown to produce 7 times more prostaglandin F2 alpha than women who do not. When the prostaglandin F2 alpha is released into the blood stream in high levels, it causes the uterus to spasm. This also creates a state of inflammation because PGF2 is a known inflammatory chemical in the body. Uterine cramping and inflammation are the cause of the pain. Scientists still do not know why the body produces more PGF2 in women with painful menstrual cramps.

Natural Ways to Decrease Menstrual Cramp Pain

I will share with you some natural remedies to help treat menstrual cramping when it is happening, but also remedies and mind/body practices to consider long term to help relieve your menstrual cramp pain forever!

Nutritional Considerations First!
That’s right, getting adequate nutrition every day should be top priority! Considering that Dysmenorrhea is an inflammatory state in the body, it is important to avoid foods that increase the inflammation response. Dr. Christiane Northrup shares in her book Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom that it’s crucial to eat a low-glycemic index diet. High glycemic foods are known to increase the levels of inflammatory chemicals in the body, including PGF2. When looked at holistically, doctors, naturopaths, and herbalists agree that an anti-inflammatory diet is important.

Herbal Support for Dysmenorrhea

When considering using herbs for painful menstrual cramps, we have to consider how herbs work in the body. As an herbalist, I use different herbs for different actions and/or outcomes. You have to consider the therapeutic goal of the treatment. Menstrual cramps have more involved with them than just pain. While some women have heavy bleeding with their painful period, others have a sense of stagnation, a boggy uterus with a very scant period; yet both of these can fall under a diagnosis of Dysmenorrhea. You must also consider hormonal balance, nutrition, digestion, mental/emotional state, and pain level. Below, I have broken the herbs up into sub-groups so that you can see herbs that are specific for important actions when experiencing painful menstruation.

If you are considering a more natural approach to reducing menstrual cramp,s please consider talking to a naturopathic doctor or herbalist in your area to see which herbal formulations are right for you.

Pain Relief & Cramp Relaxing Herbs

Note: none of these herbs should be used during pregnancy, unless directed to do so under the care of a qualified health care practitioner skilled in the use of herbal remedies.

Cramp Bark & Black Haw: These are probably the most effective herbs for reducing uterine spasm and cramping. These sister herbs bring relief of pain and muscle spasm in the uterus. Cramp bark and Black haw have been shown safe for use for several days prior to onset on menses in anticipation and prevention of painful cramps. I can attest to these plants wonderful pain-relieving action. I personally feel these herbs are one of the best herbs to have on hand at all times for any sort of menstrual pain; I prefer it over NSAIDs. There is also no risk of liver damage from this herb like there are with NSAID use.

Black Cohosh: This plant is very anti-inflammatory and wonderful at reducing spasm in both the smooth muscles, but also the skeletal muscles associated with pain that radiates to the lower back and down the thighs.

Dong Quai: Dong Quai is popular for women with absent period, but it has other beneficial actions. It helps to reduce menstrual cramps in women with a boggy, heavy-feeling uterus due to stagnation, poor circulation and scant blood flow during menstruation. Dong Quai acts on the circulatory system and lymphatic system, reducing tissue congestion. It has both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also very relaxing to the nervous system, which may be helpful to those with anxiety or tension during PMS and menstruation. Interestingly, this herb has been shown to first stimulate the uterus and then go on to relax it. Dong Quai is also a wonderful hormonal balancing herb, used since the 16th century for the female reproductive system. Note: This herb is best not used during menstruation for women with heavy bleeding.

Wild Yam: Wild Yam has a wonderful action on smooth muscle tissue, reducing muscle spasm of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries, aiding in painful menstruation and chronic pelvic pain. Wild Yam helps the uterus to work more efficiently during menses. This uterine support allows for proper function of the uterus while working to prevent uterine cramping or spasm. This herb has a wonderful action on the ovaries, toning them and aiding in ovarian cyst pain.

Digestive Upset with Inflammation

Ginger: If you experience nausea, vomiting or diarrhea due to painful cramping and hormonal changes, ginger is one of the best herbs to soothe the stomach. It is also anti-inflammatory. Also see Chamomile.

In one 2012 randomized controlled trial of 120 women with moderate or severe primary dysmenorrhea, the control group taking 500 mg capsules of ginger root powder three times a day felt significant differences, a reduction, in the severity and duration of pain when Ginger was taken before the start of menstruation, versus those who took a placebo. (BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine)

Anxiety, Nervous Tension, Irritability with Menstrual Cramps

Chamomile: This sweet little flower is both anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic. It is also helpful for women with digestive constipation contributing to pain. Because this herb is also a nervine and mild sedative it may help to reduce stress, relax the nervous system and induce a restful state in the body. This can be very useful when experiencing menstrual cramping accompanied by anxiety and irritability. Chamomile is best sipped as a tea during menstruation.

Motherwort: Very effective at reducing uterine muscle spasm, cramping and improving uterine tone. It is also a wonderful mild sedative, aids in insomnia, headache and dizziness. It is a specific remedy for heart palpitations, stress, and anxiety associated with pelvic pain.

Dong Quai is also in this category.

Severe Cramping and Pain

Jamaican Dogwood: This herb combines well with Cramp Bark or Black Haw. It is important to seek the guidance of a qualified herbalist, midwife or naturopathic doctor if you are considering this herb for pain. Never self-prescribe this herb. This herb is extremely antispasmodic and analgesic. It is traditionally used for all neuralgic and muscular cramps and spasm. This is an herb that is often relied on by herbalists for women who have unrelenting pain disturbing daily life activities because of debilitating pain. I wanted all of you to know that there are natural options for extreme dysmenorrhea, Jamaican Dogwood may be a good option for women who have lost all hope, or where other remedies have failed.

Aromatherapy Support for Painful Menstrual Cramps

Essential Oil Massage blends or hot compress are another form of pain relief for menstrual cramps. Below are some of the best essential oils for painful cramps.

German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla, Matricaria recutita)
German chamomile is best known for its ability to reduce inflammation. This oil is a deep blue in color due to the presence of azulene. It also has some pain reducing effects, promotes calming of the nerves and reduces anger, irritability, and depression.

Sweet Marjoram (Origanum marjorana, Marjorana hortensis)
This is a great oil for menstrual cramps. Reduces pain on all levels. Great to use with a hot compress on the abdomen when experiencing menstrual cramps.

Sweet Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare, Foeniculum officinale, Anthum foeniculum)
Helps to regulate the menstrual cycle, may help reduce hormone fluctuation. It is also aids in reducing muscle spasm.
* Do not use if you have epilepsy.

[green_box title=”Video: How to Make an Oil Blend for Menstrual Cramps”][/green_box]

Menstrual Cramps Essential Oil Blend
*Best used only during painful period, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, before ovulation

Number of Drops= Carrier Oil Blend (4oz.) Bath Compress
German Chamomile 15 2 2
Clary Sage 20 2 2
Rose Otto 10 1 1
Sweet Marjoram 20 2  

Self Fertility Massage and Fertility Yoga

Uterine spasm is sometimes associated with a weak uterus. If the uterine muscles are “out of shape” they are more likely to spasm. Self Fertility Massage may greatly help to strengthen, stimulate, detoxify and support overall uterine health. Self Fertility Massage also increases endorphins, which help reduce pain. Another good option is to practice Fertility Yoga. Fertility Yoga uses specific poses to keep the reproductive organs in proper alignment, with adequate circulation.

The Mind & Body Connection to Painful Menstruation

Dr. Christiane Northrup brings this topic up in her wonderful book Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom. Is there a connection with our thoughts, past experiences, and social expectation in the role of pain during menstruation? She thinks so. She has been a doctor for over 25 years and has bridged the gap between conventional medicine and holistic practices. Through her years of clinical work, she has found there is indeed a relationship with past thoughts of our bodies and menstrual cycles, as well as what we still currently believe about our bodies that contribute to menstrual pain. With up to 60% of the US females having mild to extreme dysmenorrhea it is an idea worth mulling over.

If you continue to struggle with painful menstrual cramps it is definitely worth considering what ideas or thoughts about your cycle, your body, and your entire life that no longer serve your highest good. Perhaps you have been sexually abused, or even emotionally abused by someone in your life; could this trauma be contributing to your monthly pain? Do you look at your menstrual cycle as a burden or with disgust? Now is the time to go within, change your thoughts on you; love yourself completely. Allow yourself to love. Let yourself know you love you; this may actually be releasing enough to let go of painful menstruation.

I have actually worked with many clients who have said that by changing how they think about their fertility journey, dealing with past hurt/anger, and shifting how they speak about their bodies to positive, loving words, that they are no longer having painful menstrual cycles. Those ladies faced the truths of who and what they thought they were in this world. The transformation has been lovely and completely inspiring!

May you go forward to heal your pain. Know that you have the power to heal your body.

Zinc is an important fertility nutrient for both sexes. 

Zinc is critical to the synthesis of DNA and RNA, as well as healthy egg and sperm production. 

While not a direct cause of infertility, a deficiency in zinc can lead to chromosomal abnormalities that can, in turn, lead to fertility problems or increased miscarriage risk.

For men, zinc is key to normal testosterone production and sperm formation. It’s highly concentrated in seminal fluid, and is important for sperm morphology and motility.

For women, zinc supports hormonal balance and a healthy menstrual cycle. 

It encourages regular ovulation and nourishes the ovarian follicles. 

Zinc encourages proper protein metabolism for egg health, and enriches follicular fluid for implantation support. 

Zinc is very easily consumed in your Fertility Diet. 

To shore up your dietary zinc, include more of the following foods in your diet:
🎃🌰 - raw pumpkin and sesame seeds
🧀 - nutritional yeast
🌾 - wheat germ
👩🌾👨🌾🌱 - chickpeas
🍲 - lentils
🍤 - quality seafood (shrimp)
🦪 - oysters
🥩 - grass-fed beef

Age and fertility are one of the most frequent topics I get questions about. 

Understandably. 

But there are many factors that can have an impact on the health of the ovaries and eggs over time including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, and stress, just to name a few.

In addition, having healthy fertility is based on many additional aspects to consider, including:
➡️ Proper circulation
➡️ A healthy fertility cycle
➡️ Balanced hormones
➡️ Healthy eggs

Egg health is one of the cornerstones of healthy fertility. 

The health of your eggs (ova) can affect whether or not fertilization and implantation will occur as well as the viability of a pregnancy.

During the cycle of an egg’s journey towards ovulation, there is a window of opportunity, a period of time, when certain factors can affect the health of the eggs that are preparing for ovulation. ⏳

This journey takes about 90 days. 

The steps you take today will impact the health of your eggs 3 months from now. 

That is why I talk so much about taking a MINIMUM of 90 days to prepare for pregnancy or IVF/IUI. 

🙂 The good news is that there are steps you can take to help support the health of your eggs. There is too much info to put into this tiny caption but….

This all-in-one solution combines the ancient wisdom of self-acupressure with the natural healing properties of essential oils to support each stage of your fertility cycle.

Acupressure is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body using fingers, palms, or specialized tools, instead of using needles as in acupuncture.

Self-acupressure is a time-tested technique that you can use to balance energy flow and optimize bodily functions. By targeting these points, self-acupressure (like acupuncture) can naturally enhance fertility and reproductive health.

The Drop Cycle Method Program provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for locating and stimulating these points, making it simple for anyone to incorporate self-acupressure into their daily routine.

Essential oils are concentrated extracts from plants that contain powerful, therapeutic properties. Essential oils are an important element of the Drop Cycle Method because of how effective they are for encouraging reproductive health.

Essential oils have been shown to assist with:
- hormonal balance*
- inflammation reduction*
- stress relief*
- healing promotion*
- and immune system boosting*

The Drop Cycle Method Program includes a selection of carefully chosen, therapeutic essential oil blends that work in harmony with self-acupressure for each fertility phase to further boost fertility and promote relaxation.

Experience a natural, holistic approach to enhancing your chances of conception and overall well-being.
