Are you suffering from stomach ache during periods? Throw away the painkiller, this aromatic thing kept in the kitchen will give instant relief

News India Live, Digital Desk: Only we girls and women know how difficult those “special days” of the month sometimes become. As soon as periods start, those strange cramps in the lower abdomen, pain in the waist and bad mood are the story of almost every house. Often, to get rid of this pain, we immediately take some ‘painkiller’ medicine. At that time we get relief, but we all know that taking medicines every month is not at all good for our body. And it is not possible to lie in bed the whole day with a hot water bag, work has to be done. Then what is the treatment? The answer is that small spice in your kitchen, which you often eat as a “mouth freshener” after eating in a restaurant. Yes, Fennel Seeds. How does Fennel help in pain? (How it works) You will be surprised to know that fennel is not just for removing bad breath. In Ayurveda, it is considered no less than a boon for women. When periods come, the muscles of our uterus contract, due to which we feel severe pain. Fennel contains natural elements (anti-inflammatory) which loosen the stiffness of these muscles. In simple language, it reduces the swelling inside the body and provides coolness to the pain. Research also believes that in many cases the effect of fennel is similar to that of painkillers, that too without any side effects. Right way to use (Best Usage) Just chewing dry fennel is also beneficial, but if the pain is severe then drink it like ‘herbal tea’. This is the most effective method: Fennel Tea: Heat a cup of water. Add one teaspoon fennel (lightly crushed is better) in it. Let it boil on low flame for 2-3 minutes. When the water acquires the color and aroma of fennel, filter it. You can add a little jaggery or honey to it. Tip: If you start drinking this tea once a day, a day or two before the start of your periods, then the pain may not start. Eat it after chewing: If you do not have time to make tea, then eat one spoon of raw fennel and a little sugar candy, chewing it thoroughly. As its juice goes down your throat, you will feel relief from stomach cramps. A little advice: Nature has given us many things to take care of ourselves. Next time when you suffer from period pain, wait for 5 minutes before taking chemical pills and try this fennel recipe. This will not only reduce pain, but will also remove the problem of gas and bloating in a jiffy. Take care of yourself, because your health comes first!
