When discussing women’s issues, first and foremost that comes to mind is the problems connected with their menstrual cycles.

Women unlike men, start menstruating in the form of cycles of about 29 days as soon as their system begins generating eggs. It is basically flow of blood that comes from the vaginal opening .When sperms are not joined with these eggs and if no conception takes place it flows out through the vagina from uterus. Hence a lady can estimate the date of her periods and arrange her activities accordingly.

While every female is conversant with this fact of life, they have to take care that unwanted pregnancies do not happen, and teenage pregnancies are completely avoided, because this will have an effect on the health of a maturing woman both physically and psychologically. Unfortunately this natural cycle of menstruation has its own problems, which women have to face willy-nilly.

Though the present generation is very well aware of the problems concerned with women’s health, and the role of nutrition in this respect, which have been well documented by pharmaceutical circles, unfortunately not much is known how natural products which are around us can help in regulating the menstrual cycle.

The usual disorders in women can be identified as missed menstrual period (amenorrhea), periods which are symptomatic of heavy or long discharge (menorrhagia), conversely very light discharge (hypomenorrhea), undetermined intervals (oligomenorrhea) apart from extremely painful periods (dysmenorrhea).

Women suffer from a number of problems including amenorrhea, problems connected with D&C operations, dysmenorrhea, late periods, and Fibroids.

Premenstrual syndrome or pain just prior to the menstrual cycle is experienced by most women. Back pain, tender-breast, cramps and headaches are quite common during menstruation. This is witnessed because of hormonal changes and also changes taken place while the uterus lining is casted away. There are some natural cures that are useful for curing these problems-

1) Black cohosh – Black cohosh is very useful in eliminating depression problems and puts an end to hot flushes. Regular intake of Black cohosh will put an end to all menstrual problems.

2. Another ancient traditional Chinese herb, Licorice Root, is effective in solving female reproductive setbacks, which can also control water preservation.

3. Vitamin C – Vitamin C increases the iron content and eradicates problems due to absence of iron inside the body .Regular intake of vitamins, minerals and nutrients help in reducing menstrual pain.

4) Flax seed- To cure hormonal problems flax seed can be very useful.

5. Don’t drink alcohol. Alcohol aggravates your problem. You can limit it to light wine only.

6. To strengthen your uterus, and decrease flow, drink one or two cups of tea made from Red Raspberry. Consume lots of fruits, seeds and nuts, pulses and vegetable oils, which provides you a number of nutrients to calm your muscles and nerves so that cramps can be got rid of. Herbs like shepherd’s purse can reduce heavy flow. For chronic heavy flows, these herbal treatments are the best.
