Every woman has experienced with most terrible Period cramps at least a few times in their life. So here are a few tips that can help you or your wife, daughter, or friend to be pain-free.
Cramps are caused because of an excess of prostaglandins hormone created in your body that causes your uterus to squeeze or contract and then ultimately shed its lining, so your cramps are just contractions in your uterus.

Avoid Caffeine, Sugar, Salt

They can dehydrate your body and make your cramps even worse and will even cause bloating
