4 tips to kicking Cramps (naturally)
Fact: cramps suck
Another Fact: They don’t have to
If you don’t get cramps that completely control your life during your period, then congrats. You’re one of the lucky ones 🙌🏽
Personally, I spent half my high school years missing class and not being able to participate in life because of period cramps. Which may or may not have been a good thing for everyone because between the mood swings and the pain, I was a colossal b*tch for at least a week 😂
Over the years, I have tried everything from hot water bottles & teas to Midol & the fetal position. And after all this time, I FINALLY found the solution & the products that ACTUALLY work.
So here are my 4 tips for kicking cramps, naturally
1. Stay Hydrated
Sounds basic, I know. But drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water a day will help reduce cramps, back pain & bloating. I like to fill up a large mason jar or water bottle so you get all the hydration without having to count or refill as much. Pro tip: drink it warm or hot. Hot water helps flush your system, reduce water retention & stress ✨
2. Yin & Tonic
This Products SAVED me & is my forever “go to”. The best part is that it is ✨all natural✨ and super effective. Yin & tonic by Ohne is formulated with botanicals like organic ginger, cramp bark & calendula and infused with vitamins and minerals vitamin including b1, vitamin b6, vitamin b12, iron, iodine, magnesium and zinc. It is a dream for balancing you out during that totm & kicking your cramps all day - amazeballs!
Just 4 droppers into some warm water up to 3 times a day and you will be feeling right as rain. Yin & tonic is also vegan, cruelty free, made with organic ingredients and packaged in the cutest recyclable bottle 🌱
3. CBD
If there was one thing I could give everyone to make the world a better place, it would be CBD. Hands down the most effective, multipurpose, all natural solution to EVERYTHING. Stress? CBD. Pain? CBD. Anxiety? CBD. Acne or wrinkles? CBD. Cramps? CBD! Literally my go to for everything. That being said. CBD on your period is a game changer. Drink it, eat it, smoke it, rub it all over your body. CBD will eliminate cramps, balance your mood & have you feeling relaxed & ready to take on the day- and that one co worker that just gets under your skin 😉
4. Balance Your Hormones
Needless to say that all the crappy symptoms that come with periods are a direct result of hormonal imbalance. Now you can adjust your diet, exercise, try to de stress etc (I'll be writing about that soon) but sometimes huge lifestyle changes aren’t realistic and honestly, we’re here to provide solutions that fit into your lifestyle without changing it. So I present to you, Knowell.
Knowell is a blend of 28 vitamins, minerals, and botanicals designed to support hormone balance from the inside out through every stage in life. Hormonal imbalance can leads to horrible cramps & pms, but other symptoms include irregular periods, fertility issues, mood swings, chronic fatigue, weight gain, skin and hair issues, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
I love recommending Knowell to our customer, and hearing how much much better they feel even after just a month on it. It’s not an immediate solution to kicking cramps, but a total game changer in the long run ✨
Hopefully, with these tips & the right products, you’ll be on your way to cramp free periods ✨
