8. Herbal tea is your best friend
Several types of herbal teas can help reduce the pain felt due to menstruation cramps. Boiling cramp bark and drinking thrice a day can do wonders. Women who usually experience cramps can start drinking tea with peppermint oil about seven days before their period is likely to start. However, drinking herbal tea can be dangerous for women who are on other medications. Talk to your doctor before trying out this route to lessen period cramps.
