Discomfort during menstrual periods can range from slightly annoying to agonizing. For many women, cramps, low back pain, aching legs, a heavy feeling in the abdomen and pelvis, digestive upsets, diarrhoea, headaches, weakness, depression, and emotional stress can ruin a few days each month. Homoeopathic remedies can help soothe these miseries, and often help reduce a woman’s tendency toward menstrual problems. If discomfort is not easily relieved, seek the guidance of an experienced homoeopath. If pain or other symptoms seem to be serious, a physician’s assessment is important.
