Cramp Relief During Your Period: Alternative Medicine with CBD and THC

When cramps hit, you need fast, safe, and simple strategies. Many women are turning to alternative medicine approaches, including CBD and THC, to complement foundational self-care.

Fast Relief Basics

  • Apply a heating pad to the lower abdomen or back.
  • Hydrate and add minerals (electrolytes, magnesium-rich foods).
  • Try gentle movement to loosen tight muscles.

Where CBD May Fit

  • Daytime calm without intoxication for work or study.
  • Possible support for baseline discomfort and stress.

Where THC May Fit

  • Low-dose evening use for peak cramps and sleep support.
  • Avoid driving; discuss dose and timing with a clinician.

Choosing Formats

  • Oils/tinctures: Flexible dosing and relatively quick onset.
  • Capsules: Convenient and consistent once you’ve found your dose.
  • Topicals: Targeted comfort for the abdomen or lower back.

Safety First

  • Start low, go slow, and track responses.
  • Discuss medications and conditions with your doctor.
  • Avoid use if pregnant or breastfeeding unless advised by a clinician.
