Period pain is tough to endure and we absolutely hate it when they arrive with aunt Flo every month! There are some women who face more trouble than others, but guess what? We are here to help everyone deal with these annoying cramps. Yes, you heard it right. 

In most cases, cramps are not viewed as a serious health condition. In some cases, they could be the cause of poor lifestyle habits. But most of the time, period pain can be treated at home. So, what’s your go-to solution when you suffer from period pain? Well, you can do several things to ease your period pain, but the one that always works for me is this jaggery and ajwain drink. 

Let’s find out how jaggery can treat period pain at home effectively

On days I struggle with heavy flow and crazy cramps, a steaming cup of a drink that contains jaggery comforts me and how. This is all because jaggery contains several essential nutrients like sodium and potassium, proving to be very effective in treating menstrual problems. If you’re experiencing mood swings, cramps, and other symptoms during menstruation, jaggery can do wonders for your period problems. In addition, jaggery is rich in iron and folate, which ensures that a normal level of blood cells is maintained in your body. In fact, this can even increase hemoglobin content in blood, thus preventing weakness due to blood loss during menstruation.
