The first two words in the title are definitely not common words used in everyday language, but if I said, an Indian spice, and painful menstrual cramps, you'd know what I am talking about. Let’s talk about how these three things are related…
Recently I received a review from a lady who said that after
using our Detox Pads two days before her menstrual cycle, she had almost
no discomfort.
“I decided to try the detoxifyingfoot pads to see if I would notice any positive results after one night. At the
time I was fighting off a cold and my voice sounded pretty deep. After using
the pads for one night I noticed a reduction in swelling in my lymph glands
behind my ears and my voice was back to normal. A pleasant but also unexpected
result after two days of using them, and having no idea my cycle was right
around the corner, was that my cramps were practically non-existent! I had no
discomfort for the duration of the period. That was a great surprise!” Lynn, Utah, USA
Why didn’t she experience dysmenorrhea or painful cramps?
How are removing toxins and menstrual cramps related? We know from our last
post that reflexology can dramatically improve premenstrual symptoms, so let’s
keep up the good news and help either yourself or a loved one have less pain
during that familiar cramping week.
Several articles online mention how environmental factors
affect the female reproductive system negatively1 . One article
listed a few things that would be helpful to avoid2 :
-Stress
-Toxic cosmetics or cleaning
products
-Plastics, canned food (most cans
are lined with BPA), etc.
-Toxic tampons and pads (Many
people say their cramps went away after using a menstrual cup)
By limiting the use of harmful products, and removing toxins
with the foot pads, it’s no wonder that Lynn had “practically non-existent”
cramps. Another tool for relieving pain in many areas of the body
including the abdominal area is turmeric3 . It is native to India
and has amazing properties.
“Turmeric has been found to have many useful
therapeutic qualities, including: anti-oxidant, anti-tumoral, anti-microbial,
anti-inflammatory, anti-hepatotoxic, anti-hyperlipidemic, and insect repellent
effects.
Much recent research has been devoted to the
beneficial qualities of Turmeric. It has been shown to
have more DNA protective qualities than the antioxidants beta
carotene and vitamin E.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has found Turmeric useful
for pains in the abdomen, liver, stomach, and
chest.”
There are many recipes for how to
incorporate turmeric in your everyday diet online. As always, research for
yourself anything new that you feel might help your situation and consult with
people you trust.
Here’s to less monthly pain!
