Cold enters through your feet, and cold creates cramps - keep your feet warm

If your period cramps are bad, try:

• soaking your feet in warm water every night before bed
• drinking bone broths
• keeping your uterus warm (heat pads, cloth bands, keeping your feet warm)
• avoiding cold foods (salads, ice drinks, ice cream)
• drinking warming teas
• eating iron-replenishing foods (meat, certain soups, dark colored foods typically signify high iron)
• eat a warm, small nutritious breakfast (congee, hot porridge)
• get enough movement to have a very slight sweat and pant (that's it!)
• keep stress down (deep breaths)
• prioritize sleep (sleep earlier, keep electronics away from bedtime)
