If I smell a candle that I find to have a very relaxing aroma it helps the cramps to go away for a few minutes... Does anyone else find something like this helps them? Just wondering, I haven't heard of anyone else that this works for, I know it's not weird or anything, I just wanted to know if anyone else finds this true for them. Also, any other tips you have for dealing with cramps would be GREATLY appreciated, not like taking medications or staying away from caffine, which I do, but suggestions of different things that may help, like my suggestion of smelling a candle... What else might help?

light exercises at the first sign. It releases hormones that help with cramps. Heat packs on the tummy. Moist are best. I took 1 tylenol and 1 advil when I had really bad ones during my lifetime.
Aroma therapy like lavender which relaxes you. A nice hot bath to treat any back or leg cramps before bed. Drink lots of water and make sure your iron levels are up, many young women become anemic durine their early reproductive years, eat enough foods that contain iron and folate and even a multivitamin and mineral suppliment to help overall health. Good luck.

What helps me is a nice hot bath. I usually pop out a few pills, get a book, put some bubble bath in the tub and relax.
