    Period cramps can be managed with simple home remedies.

    Applying heat to your abdomen or lower back can relax the muscles and reduce pain.

    Gentle exercise or stretching also helps improve blood flow. A warm bath and light belly massage may offer extra comfort.

    Eating fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods supports overall well-being, while staying hydrated and sleeping in a comfortable position can make symptoms easier to handle.

    Over-the-counter pain relievers may help if the discomfort is more intense.

    Foods to Avoid During Period Cramps

    Try to reduce fast foods, sugary snacks, salty meals, caffeine, and oily or fatty foods, as they may worsen cramps.
