Big List of Cramp Cures

[macabre-grrl.livejournal.com]

Everybody look at this page for a most exhaustive list of cramp remedies. Some I have never heard of before, like oregano tea and seaweed sugar broth.

The website also has a pattern for cloth pads, organic flannel by the yard, and cool buckwheat pillows.

I read in a book a while ago about high carb diets, and eating carbs every 3hrs, can help prevent pain from periods and Endometriosis etc. So i tryed it, so far its working. I figure a little extra weight is a fair trade for not living on pain killers.

That's interesting. I've always been told that avoiding sugary-foods and foods that have high amounts of carbs in them will _increase_ cramps.

it works on the theory that cramps are caused by low insulin levels.
