MENSTRUAL CRAMPS BRINGING YOU DOWN? TRY NATURAL METHODS OF PAIN RELIEF

How many times have you blamed your behaviour on ‘that-time-of-the-month’? How often do you find yourself skipping work or other engagements around the arrival of ‘aunty flo’? How frequently do you resort to taking strong and detrimental painkillers, in order to power through household chores? A common answer for many women is likely to be ‘too often’. As women bear the burden of propagating their race, they must also bear the burdens that accompany this miraculous ability. However, knowledge is power, and if one is equipped with the right knowledge, dealing with the symptoms of menstruation is easier.

Menstruation is an age-old biological cycle through which most women, if not all, suffer pain and discomfort in varying degrees. Severe cramps in the abdomen and back, bloating, mood swings, nausea and diarrhoea are not uncommon symptoms during periods. Menstrual cramps, even if not characterised by a throbbing and severe pain, have the unfortunate effect of making women feel low, dull and grumpy as well. The spasmodic dull ache around the core area also makes it hard for women to sit, stand, walk or sleep. Extreme spasms have the unfortunate effect of putting a woman entirely out of commission for one to three days, making them skip work, school or social events.

Natural methods to counter these symptoms, particularly for pain relief, have been around for centuries. However, with the onset of modern medicine, women preferred easily-available medication, leading to methods of natural pain relief being largely neglected. Relying on over-the-counter drugs may seem a fast and ideal solution, but multiple studies have shown their harmful long-term effects on the body. A recent study conducted by the Cochrane Collaboration, a network of reputed researchers, emphasises that in some cases medicines may cause harmful side-effects, ranging from stomach problems, nausea, headaches or drowsiness.

Fortunately, in recent years, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of natural remedies for medical problems. This has penetrated the menstrual health industry as well. Many innovative products have been launched to address a variety of menstrual health concerns. The most prominent of them are pain relief oils, which have been a game-changer when it comes to alleviating period-related problems.

 Essential oils have been used as a form of alternative medicine for centuries. They are made with particular plant extracts that are known for their multiple health benefits. Once the aromatic chemicals have been extracted from the plants, they are combined with a carrier oil to create a final product ready to be used. When searching for the right essential oil for any purpose, the important thing to focus on is how it is made, because essential oils obtained through chemical processes are not considered true essential oils and do not provide the same benefits.

Femingo, a wing of the successful brand ‘Yogic Naturals’, has launched its 100% pure natural oil, ‘Go Go Yin’. This ground-breaking product is aimed exclusively at delivering pain free menses through a simple application procedure, and stands far ahead of its competitors in the market. ‘Go Go Yin’ is a special blend of plant extracts that regulates the flow, in turn allowing the user to unwind and remain comfortable in situations that usually cause debilitating distress and extreme levels of pain. Further, it helps to stabilise the often-volatile symptoms of PMS or pre-menstrual syndrome.

The Femingo ‘Go Go Yin’ oil is easy to use and has an invitingly smooth texture. Along with alleviating symptoms of pain, it improves overall pelvic wellbeing. Most importantly, it has no side-effects, is biodegradable and aimed especially at busy women of today that are always on the go. This innovative compound contains no additional synthetics, which helps to diminish chances of allergic reactions and potential side effects. ‘Go Go Yin’ is produced using ingredients that can be easily assimilated by the human body.

Now period cramps and ‘those days of the month’ can no longer stop women from achieving everything they want. Just a couple of drops of the Femingo ‘Go Go Yin’ pain-relief oil ensures that every day is a smooth ride.
