Menstrual Cramp Relief

Menstrual Cramp Relief: During menstruation, the uterus sheds its lining, causing contractions. The pain from cramps ranges from person to person, cycle to cycle. Some report mild cramping, while others suffer from debilitating pain, especially those with endometriosis. Around 20% of women suffer from endometriosis, which causes severe cramping and pain, along with digestive distress, bloating, and a variety of other unpleasant symptoms. Heat therapy is a natural and effective way to reduce pain from cramps as it helps the uterine muscles relax. Warmies are microwavable stuffed animals that act as a heat pad similar to hot water bottles but without the mess.
