Acupuncture
According to research, acupuncture can ease menstrual cramps and reduce inflammation-related discomfort by releasing endorphins that make patients feel calmer. According to a 2017 analysis, several acupuncture points were located in areas where stimulation may impact the activity of numerous sensory neurons. These locations are also referred to as receptive fields.
Acupuncture entails putting needles into the body to activate sensory nerves in the skin and muscles. It could aid in the treatment of physical ailments and chronic pain.
The physical stimulation of the insertion of a needle in certain areas may alter how the muscles and central nervous system perceive pain and enhance blood flow to specific regions of the body.
Although considered one of the home remedies for cramps, acupuncture also has side effects, so seeking medical advice first is necessary. Some possible risks of acupuncture are bruises, soreness in the injected area, and bleeding. Also, if the needles being used are not sterilized, it can lead to an infection, and worse, a needle may break, damaging internal organs.
