Avoid red meat, refined sugars, milk, and fatty foods.
Eat lots of fresh vegetables, whole grains (especially if you experience constipation or indigestion), nuts, seeds and fruit.
Avoid caffeine. It constricts blood vessels and increases tension.
Meditate, get a massage.
Have an orgasm (alone or with a partner).

Raspberry tea is also excellent for relieving cramps or other menstrual problems. It can be combined with lavender if one needs their nerves to be calmed down, too, or has a headache.
