Essential Oils
Essential oils are also excellent home remedies for cramps, particularly menstrual cramps. For example, when you have massage treatment during your period, the therapist’s hands press specific spots around the belly, side, and back.
Massage treatment and aromatherapy help lessen menstruation discomfort, according to a 2018 assessment of research. Lavender, peppermint, rose, and fennel is a few essential oils that may help relieve menstrual cramps. A person experiencing menstrual cramps can purchase or make their scented essential oil.
Meanwhile, some therapists feel that diluting the essential oil with a carrier oil is preferable. Nut or vegetable oils, like grapeseed or sweet almond oil, are typical carrier oils.
Therapists state that a safe concentration is one drop of essential oil per teaspoon of carrier oil. After diluting them with carrier oil, essential oils can also be applied to the skin. However, it’s not advisable to ingest essential oils because some are toxic.
Most studies support using essential oils as aromatherapy treatments, but some studies show they can be used in other contexts. In addition, they are considered one of the potent aromatherapy techniques that help reduce tension and anxiety.
