Menstrual Cramps? Here’s How Ayurveda Can Help Naturally
Periods are natural but pain doesn’t have to be.
If you’ve ever curled up with a hot water bag, skipped work, or taken painkillers just to survive that one day of the month, you’re not alone. Around 70% of women experience menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) and for many, the pain is intense, recurring, and disruptive.
But what if there was a natural, side effect free way to ease that pain? Ayurveda says there is.
What Causes Period Pain in Ayurveda?
According to Ayurveda, menstrual pain is often linked to aggravated Vata dosha, which governs movement and flow in the body. During menstruation, Vata directs the downward flow (Apana Vayu). When this becomes imbalanced due to stress, cold exposure, poor digestion, or improper diet it causes sharp, cramping pains in the lower abdomen and back.
Ayurveda treats period pain not as a problem to suppress but as a signal a call to restore balance.
Natural Remedies for Cramps Backed by Ayurveda
Here are a few holistic solutions to ease period pain naturally:
🌿 1. Ayurvedic Oil Massage (Abhyanga)
Gently massaging your lower abdomen and back with a warm herbal oil helps calm Vata, improve circulation, and ease uterine contractions.
Best when done before bed or during the initial pain phase.
🍵 2. Herbal Teas & Decoctions
Sipping warm infusions of ginger, fennel, or cinnamon reduces inflammation and soothes digestive spasms that accompany cramps.
🧘 3. Gentle Movement & Restorative Yoga
Postures like Supta Baddha Konasana or Child’s Pose release tension in the pelvis and back. Avoid intense workouts; focus on warmth and grounding.
🧂 4. Warmth, Always
Cold aggravates Vata. Stay warm, eat warm, and avoid raw or refrigerated foods during your cycle.
