Homeopathy has a lot to offer in terms of homeopathic remedies for menstrual cramps. Pulsatilla is one of the most often indicated remedies for this problem.
Menstrual cramps are the most common complaint for women. This pain is caused by muscle contractions and cramps that inhibit blood flow to the lining of the uterus.
Some women may also suffer from nausea or diarrhoea with menstrual pain and feel tired or irritable with it.
Most women feel that period pain is something that they have to deal with and become resigned to suffering with it monthly and end up living on painkillers for a few days of the month.
If you have been taking the pill to regulate your cycle or it has been prescribed for period pains but it has not helped or it has created new problems, have a look at ways to naturally detox with homeopathic remedies and balance your cycle.
