9.Acupressure
Touching key places on your belly, back, and feet can increase blood flow and release endorphins to soothe both your body and mind for a little while. There’s also a spot in the fleshy part between your thumb and index finger that relieves aches and pain. See a trained, certified expert to help you find those points and explain how to stimulate them.
10.Strike a Pose
Exercises that work your core are as good for cramps as a massage. Start with a few deep breaths while lying on your back with bent knees. Try yoga positions such as bound angel, bridge, and staff pose. While some yogis say no to inversions (when your head goes below your heart) during your period, other medical experts say that advice is outdated and it’s fine to do them.
