The media and doctors have us all trained to take a pill when you don’t feel good, don’t they?
Well, think about this for a moment – what is it that you have been trained to take when you do have a menstrual headache during your period?
Are you taking aspirin? With all the many side effects, it’s too easy to end up in the emergency room from internal bleeding or other side effects.
Aspirin eats away the stomach lining and leaves holes there, which ends up causing the internal bleeding. Unfortunately, people die every year from internal bleeding caused by aspirin.
Here’s the bottom line: your periods are a natural phenomenon. You are natural. Thus you need a natural solution, not some chemical solution that ends up causing problems and side effects. That’s lunacy!
Herbs are natural and so are vitamins. So why not make a smart move and do something natural for your body that your body will LOVE? Why treat your body with disrespect by giving it chemicals and making its job harder? You’ll end up having fewer and fewer incidents of PMS if only you would change your entire philosophy…
You might be wondering well, what remedies will I take if I don’t take aspirin? How about giving me 4 things to take?
While you’re on your period, you could take these to stop, relieve or prevent headaches:
1. Magnesium supplement
Unfortunately, statistics show that over half of us are deficient in this mineral that keeps headaches away. A supplement of up to 500 mg magnesium is a good dose to start with, and it’s only needed once daily. Try it! Studies show it helps relieve headaches.
2. B vitamins
The B vitamins are generally good for improving digestion and helping us have good moods. If you’re irritable, angry, moody, depressed, or feeling a little too exuberant, it could be that there’s a B vitamin you’re missing. Here’s the bottom line – there are several B vitamins and you need all of them, not just one of them. So take what is called a B complex that contains vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, folic acid, choline, inositol and biotin. A nice dosage to start with is 25 mg, which means that vitamin B1, 2 and 6 are in the dosage of 25 mg.
3. Colon cleanse herbals
If you’re constipated, you could end up with a headache so it’s best to start the colon cleanse the week before your period starts. Extending the length of time of your colon cleanse to six weeks is exceptionally helpful as a 3-day, 7-day, or even a 10-day cleanse is never enough.
Colon cleanses are widely available on the market; I like the Dr. Christopher brand the most.
4. Period vitamin
A period vitamin is like period insurance that you won’t get PMS. You’ll have to trust me on this one if you’ve never taken one. The reason why it works and could prevent headache during your period as well as a lot of other symptoms is that it will fill in the gaps of your nutrition with vitamins A, B complex, C, D, E, calcium, magnesium, iodine, iron, boron, and herbs that fill in the more subtler holes of your body’s physiology left open by poor diet. When you provide the body with everything it needs, there’s no reason to have symptoms.
See what you can do to beat the premenstrual or menstrual headache. Make it a game.
