Painful Menses

I’ve always had very painful period cramps too, I could even faint! I avoid taking painkillers/panadol and just endure. Those heat pads never work. Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of warm water but avoid coffee. I apply this chinese ointment ‘Siang Pure Oil Formula I’ (the red one) on my tummy; it helps soothe the cramps a little and the smell keeps me calm. Backrubs help too.
