COMMON DOESN’T EQUAL NORMAL
Since I started learning more about menstrual health and participating in women’s circles where people open up about their lives, I have realized how much of a problem menstrual cramps are for many women. Most women tend to think of this pain as an annoying, yet normal occurrence. Some women will have cramps so bad that they can’t leave bed, and when they approach the medical establishment, many will be put on birth control and treated like the problem is all on their head.
There is a lot of advice on the Internet about this subject. A quick search on “how to make my cramps go away” will come up with tons of solutions that vary from holistic solutions like hormone balancing diets, hot baths, essential oils, acupuncture and orgasms to more mainstream remedies like drugs and birth control pills. A while ago I wrote a guest blog post for Bebo Mia about vaginal steams and dance movements that can help prevent and lessen cramps.
