Home remedy – Hay flower bag for menstrual pain

11.02.2009 1 minute read From Editorial team

Anyone plagued by annoying menstrual pain should try a hay flower bag. The moist heat increases blood circulation in the lower abdomen down to deep tissue layers. The essential oils of the hay have an antispasmodic and pain-relieving effect, allowing the uterus to relax.

This home remedy is available in pharmacies or at Amazon and, depending on the manufacturer, is either doused with boiling water or heated over steam. Then let it cool down a little so that it is pleasantly hot, wrap it in a cloth – it should now be damp but not wet – and place it on the painful lower abdomen. Rest for about 40 minutes and enjoy the effect.
