I am a woman in my late 30’s and I typically start taking magnesium supplement during my periods and it seemed to help to such a great extent that I no longer take ibuprofen. But will surely try cinnamon
Yeah I’ve been taking liposomal mag l-threonate for sleep/anxiety but my last 3 periods didn’t hurt as much. A big clot passed painlessly when normally it’s agonizing for the 10 mins or more it takes to pass.
Dr. Berg in the 1980s I took evening primrose oil capsules for my painful periods, and it was a miracle! I had no PMS, no cramping. When my period arrived, it was always a surprise, because I no longer had any symptoms.
I tried those pills and i had terrible heavy menstruation then i stopped using it~even vitamin D3if i use i will have heavy menstruation, i don't know why??😢
STOP EATING A HIGH CAR DIET! Trust me. I use to have horrible cramps until I completely cut out processed carbs like bread, pasta, sugar, cookies, potatoes... I would notice that the blood clots during menstruation was thick because carbs especially sugar and flour causes the blood to stick together and clot. When the blood is too thick then the uterus needs to CONTRACT more to push out the blood and this contraction is painful (similar to giving birth). Now my menstruation is painless and the blood is less thick on a clean Keto-vore diet.
Every month I need to take 2-3 ibuprofen though I know the side effect but I can’t help. After observing this video I took cod liver oil/Omega 3 and within an hour my pain drastically reduced! No words to thank you Dr! You are great!
I’m too old for periods now but from 18-30 I had pain that was so bad, I’d black out and wake up on pavements covered in my own sick with strangers trying to help me up. Throwing up with pain as it was so intense sometimes. No painkiller would ever help, it was excruciating. I would crawl around my house crying. It took 12yr of this horror to discover I was low in certain vitamins and minerals.
@@LB-lx6jo Sure, I was low in all the B vitamins, D3, K, Zinc, Iron (terrible anaemia) and it was all well before Internet so I never even thought about nutrients etc. The paracetamol did nothing, I’d take 4 at once and it was like I’d taken nothing! I used to describe it as someone putting a stick blender up there and switching it on, it was agony. Ibuprofen didn’t seem to be around in UK as commonly as now, so I wasn’t told about it, and when I did get it (Nurofen in UK) OMG, it really helped! No doc had ever suggested it. I had had years of the agony before that, it was the 80s. I hear primrose oil and starflower oil helps some women too. Good luck! 🌻
Me too, it was excruciating. From age 10 to age 35! A male doctor told me the cause was that I was "rejecting (my) womanhood." Honestly, that was the thinking back then. I finally figured out that I drank tons of milk and got too much calcium but needed Magnesium, which I did not get enough of. Thankfully I had a very easy menopause at age 50.
Same I remember I vomited during class in a bucket cause I said I felt sick and I could barely walk back home my legs were shaking and I felt really weak
For 10-15 years, I have had horrible disruptive cramps taking 4-6 ibuprofen monthly and after doing Keto, meditation, no sugar or alcohol, I have had ZERO issues for 3 months! 😊🎉
I experienced so many problems throughout these years, but after watching your videos and improving my lifestyle I feel wonderful before and during my periods. Now I know the reason specifically. My Vitamin D3 was extremely low. Thanks to Dear Dr. Berg.

The timing of this video is eerie. I just had a bad cramps discussion with my gyno last Friday. As I’ve gotten older, my cramps have gotten way worse. They used to be mild to moderate, now they’re moderate to severe. Thanks for posting this video and alternatives to ibuprofen!!
I'm not surprised you didn't say anything about Vitamin B being a huge help for menstrual cramps, no one ever seems to know. However, I went from getting cramps so bad every month I would be throwing up from nausea to having NO SYMPTOMS at all!!! I hope women read this and really find it helps them, because I thought there was nothing that could help me. Good quality complex B vitamin daily ladies!
I have been inconsistent but yes B vitamins are crucial. Irwin Naturals is an awesome brand. I'm taking their Mega B complex and B12 for energy and pain. Also just discovered P5P which is Vit B6 in a better form that may help PMS.
Information like this should be regularly available to everyone. when I was a teen, no information was out there except take Tylenol or something. If you don’t take it before the symptoms, it makes it ineffective. Not to mention some women can experience server diarrhea and vomiting, which makes taking anything by mouth impossible. As I got older, natural methods like heating pads, etc. helped. But without instructions, how do you know when to take what. I would literally not eat for like 3 days until I felt somewhat functional when I was younger. My doctor recommended birth control pills to help with the symptoms. Basically, over the years I tried almost every random thing on the internet and recommended by doctors. Smh.
I don’t know how u do it but I’m Just on the second day of my period and dying and this video just came! And it’s soooo often when I have a problem or someone I know, I open UA-cam and dr Bergs new video is about that exact topic wooow
Perfect timing! I’m struggling with PMDD in my 30s and I’m desperately looking for a natural remedy. It’s debilitating. I got on birth control this year out of desperation and now regret it due to side effects. I stopped taking them a month ago but the withdrawal symptoms are wild. I refuse to get on any other prescription medication. Is anybody else out there struggling with PMDD? The doctors I visit, seem either clueless or dismissive about how extreme PMDD is. 😢
Ok, I saw this video yesterday and I came back here today to comment as my period started and I tested this. I don't have cramps exactly as I don't find it to be that painful but I always have this constant annoying feeling down there on my first or second day. Well I got the feeling, tested this position and boom: the feeling was gone instantly. What a relief. I can't believe I've never ever heard this anywhere before and I've had periods for almost 20 years already.
Ginger and cinnamon is a great drink. Or golden milk with coconut cream. The pain will not disappear if you are still consuming sugar and white flour. And not eating protein and vegetables.
Just in time for me, thank you. I've always had terribly painful periods. They got a bit better after I had kids, but I'm still down for a day with the cramps.
The best remedy is 1) 1 to 2 tblsp molasses daily 2) roasted pumpkin seeds Both contain magnesium. 3) Reduce dairy/calcium... interferes with magnesium absorption.
@@knowledgeiseverything7621 This is so helpful, thank you! I'm trying cutting out dairy at the moment anyway so it's great to have confirmation on that, I didn't know about it doing that to magnesium. Thanks so much!
What I realized was that, each time I worked out while on my peez the pain wasn’t that bad and the blood flow was quicker than when I wasn’t working out. I think this can help too.
I haven’t taken pain killers in almost 5yrs For me majority of my cramps come from what I ate around that time causing me to need to go use the bathroom. -So I try to drink more than I eat 3 days prior to my period and no diary -Steam with lavender a week or a few days prior to your period coming on NEVER do it while your period is actually on. -Drink raspberry tea -And vitamin d3 does help -Change your pads PLEASE to organic I would suggest using core pads. Regular pads have a lot of toxins in them
I drink 2 mugs of organic loose leaf raspberry leaf tea with spring water only everyday for a few days before my period starts and then up to 3 mugs a day everyday of my period and I have no more cramps, much lighter flow and my period has even shortened!! Also I switched to all organic pads & tampons and take weekly organic apple cider vinegar baths, all absolutely life changing!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just in time! My period is so painful I sometimes throw up. I couldn't sleep yesterday because of the pain, even ibuprofen wasn't helping 😪 I'm going to try this. I've also heard raspberry leaf tea can help and plan to try that as well.
@@Bamgeutcutiepie I always thought it was until I read differently online! But whenever I mention it to the doctors they either brush me off or just want to put me on birth control which I refuse to go back on, so I just live with it unfortunately
please don't. i know it's what we are up against, but it's your human right. change doctors till you find someone who understand this basic fact. they do exist. please don't just let your body stay sick 💕you got this! you can do it!!! 🌺@@BananaSplitBlitz

Great info. I would love some help with PMDD. It’s a topic most doctors don’t want to touch on, lot of times writing a prescription, and I just don’t go that route. It’s been easier than it was in my 30’s, but I still struggle pretty hard before my bleeding starts.
I believe this has to do with hormonal imbalances. Can be remedied through diet and movement/living. Maybe find a hormone nutrition coach and do some mineral testing and find out what you need to focus on eating in diet to help balance hormones. This has brought me a long way!
If I would have only known this information before going into menopause I would have done things differently. BTW years ago when I initially complained to my local GP, her reply was "go and have a baby and the pain won't be as bad. I was shocked and became my own Dr studying natural remedies and stumbled upon Anna's wild yam cream which worked. I also love sprinkling cinnamon on top of my kefir shakes and raw cocoa drinks mixed with coconut milk. So yum! Thanks Dr Berg Your a gem. Aussie.
My stomachs been hurting since yesterday I took a pain pill but it’s still hurting this video just came in handy!! Great info I love that stretch pose it fixed my sciatica ❤
I’ve been taking Midol for a few months now it works wonders for me but I’m worried about the side effects of it. My grandma sent me this video. I tried the stretches and it relieved the pain as long as I was in the stretch. I can’t wait to try this this remedy out. I have had horrible period cramps my entire life, it was so bad at one point I was put on birth control. The BC did some weird stuff that scared me so I just threw it away. I really hope this helps because I don’t want to go back on any BC anytime soon
All of dr berg suggestions + my own personal favourite not mentioned here is a good old fashioned hot water bottle, not one of those pre filled microwave ones just a regular hot water one, follow the instructions for filling and it will be fine, I think it’s a combination of the warmth plus the weight of the bottle….feels like a warm hug for your tummy x
Had cramps that kept me in bed for days - changed my diet no sugar, less meat, less dairy and cramps were absent, slight pressure first day and smooth the remainder.
Will share this information to all my #students... I feel pity each time they miss lessons, #scream from the #dormitory in #pain. Others even #faint due to much pain😢.Dr Berg thanks alot

Ladies, dr. Burg has suggested DIM in the past and I can’t say enough about this product. In addition to everything else he says in this video, I would take them every day and you will see a marketable difference in any period pain.
Sorry to say, but you are wrong. Nothing is such effective as Ibuprofen. I was taking Curcumin / Turmeric a looot, useless, as all the things mentioned in the reviews
Can you please do a video on ENDOMETRIOSIS & any help for that (besides surgery & continuous birth control)? Had surgery years ago and they didn’t get it all &/or some grew back. 😩
I was able to completely eliminate my period cramps by going on an all organic diet. Local grass-fed meat and organic vegetables. That’s just my experience.

Thanks for the remedy, very helpful, also please help us know the cause for cysts ruptures with very painful periods , causing dizziness ,fainting and how to prevent ?
The cause of the cyst ruptures (in my own personal experiences) are from inflammation. No doctor has been able to tell me why they burst other than that it’s natural they do. Any time I’ve gotten sick from a burst cyst, I noticed it was due to my uptake of sugar. It’s been a month since my last painful cyst burst and so far I feel great. My period is a few days later than normal but I’m not feeling those pre PMS signs that I usually feel when I’m about to start. And I haven’t eaten anything other than my own fresh homemade meals consisting of meats, veggies, nuts, fruits, sweet potatoes. So pretty much Paleo. Goodluck to you my friend, you are not alone. Trust your diet though
I made a discovery a couple years back and feel stupid I didnt come up with it sooner. Ive know for years that more out alignment I was the worse that pain and cramping was, so it always varied. One thing is consistent with my body and most people's in my practice (Rolfing) I would say 95% of my clients have one hip forward and the other back. Simple test, stand what you feel is square. Look down, if one foot is more forward its highly likely that hip is forward as well. The discovery was to lay on the side that the hip is back, knees bent slightly and stacked now take that hip that is forward and move it back so your legs are staggered. I usually am able to fall asleep like this. The pain subsides almost immediately for me. However I make sure and do magnesium and my body responds quite quickly to stretching. I often wake up in pain again to realize Im out of that position, I go back in and again immediate relief enough to fall back asleep
Can you please do a video about MSM?? I’ve been taking MSM for a while and it definitely helps with my cycles tremendously! The bleeding isn’t as heavy and the cramping is significantly lower. In my research I’ve found that it’s also great for reducing inflammation because it detoxifies the body from the cellular level. Would love to hear your input.

I’d love to see a video on colloidal silver and its effects on the body. Maybe you’ve made one and I’ve missed it. Love the content and all of the amazing medical insights you have. Keep up the great work.
I get rid of my menstrual cramp/painful periods with a pinch of celtic sea salt. I get instant relief with this. Just a pinch is all I need for that day.
I used to suffer from this since I was sixteen years old. I ended 2 times to the hospital because I had vomits and such extreme pain. I don't have any pathological problems so my gynecologist kept on prescribing painkillers that didn't always work and also, over the years my body got used to them and they didn't work at all. So after 25 years of suffering I accidentally discovered that chicory juice can almost eliminate the pain within 10-15 minutes when it's consumed slightly hot. I like drinking it with some lemon for better taste and the results are always the same. The pain dissapears! Another plant recommended for period pains is achillea I haven't tried it yet so I ll give you feedback soon.
Thank you Dr Berg for the useful information ❤ Should I take these supplements every day/ two weeks before my period or on the day when the cramp starts? Thank you
I am not religious but when I had a bad cramps I took out my rosary and pray for healing or least to get some sleep, that's how bad it is, not to mention feeling depress and hopeless, suicide, worst when you are single. 😔
Trans male tween right here, been experiencing horrible period cramps for only a few minutes tonight, happened a few days ago too, and a few other times I had my period, it really sucks, but that first fix helped. I reccomend drinking tons of water, using the bathroom a lot, eat chocolate, have a mental breakdown in the tub eating ice cream if you have to.
I'm Greek. My mom would make me a warm drink out of cinnamon and clover. It really stinks and is hard to drink but omg it was the only thing that ever helped. Now it makes sense why!
There's a product called "period underwear" that came out a few years back. You wear it, wash it, let it dry and no more buying disposable pads. The surprising benefit is most women who switched to these, found their pms lessening greatly or even disappearing all together. It also reduced heavy bleeding and reduced the length of each cycle. Some women began making their own sanitary pads from muslin or other unbleached absorbent materials and also experienced reduction of pms and shortened menstrual cycles. For any women who want to sew their own products, I know that Heidi from Rain Country Homestead has a detailed YT video on that and I'm sure there's others, as well.

Dr. Berg, I'm 37 years old and for a year now I've been taking Clove Spice ( ground ) when I'm in pain, an amount of 2 teaspoons with lukewarm water and it's magic! No, it's not a placebo effect because I've tried other substances that didn't help. Please make an informational video about cloves and explain how it is such a powerful pain reliever! How It Works?! Thanks
I can honestly say at age 45 I have probably only had a couple dozen periods in my life with bad cramps- I believe this is because I was vegetarian but I am not sure. Interestingly - I want to use this info for my occasional headaches. I do not like taking Advil I feel bad the following days to week, almost like I get a rebound headache. I have only taken Advil or Tylenol also a couple dozen times in my life and I avoid it at all costs. It is strange because my Dad took it a few times a day for around 4 years for various pains and he seems fine but he quit. I’m starting to think females react to drugs way different than men but in any case my relatively infrequent but severe headache I will try Cinnamon/ thank you Dr. Berg
Hey Dr Berg, I follow for months now, and stater keto and intermittent fasting, drop about 20 pounds, but now I can’t stop eating cookies at the middle of the night, I am having a difficult time quitting.
Iovaries hurt too. I had by choice my uterus removed in my mind 30s 34 I believe. And every so often I had period pain , not nearly as bad. Now in my early 50s it's so rare, but praise God I'm not having menopause. Nothing has changed 🎉🙏💯
@drberg you mentioned taking Calcium and Magnesium together with vit D. Wouldn't that oppose the uptake of both Ca and Mg since they are both positively charged ions? so i assume neither would be absorbed? please clarify. thank you!
Dr. Berg, does this treatment apply to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease? My doctor told me that the reason for this is a thick infection in the pelvis that descends from the vagina into the pelvis
thank you I knew about omega 3 and the minerals but I tried adding cinnamon and I have had no cramps this cycle. I am so happy that I can apply this in the future and have no pain. I also used to experience very poor sleep and I'm hoping this will also go away.
Hello Dr. Berg, I am a loyal viewer of yours. My father has been diagnosed with stage III brain cancer, and the doctors have mentioned that he may have only two to three years to live. I am wondering if fasting can be a potential treatment for brain cancer. Are there any other methods that could help with the treatment? Please, I implore you to provide me with some guidance. Thank you.
Yes. See Dr Berg’s videos on each of the points you mention, including interviews. Possibly easier to find on his website / app. Or by asking his staff.
Doctor many women triggered menstrual pain while passing stool. This is a big issue among women, they can't eat because if they go to the restroom, the pain will kill them and they're going to vomit. The ease of passing of stool and having enough fibers before the start of cycle are very Important factors. Not eating while on periods is not good for health. Eating bananas in my cycle helped with cramps for some reason.
1. Cinnamon
2. Vitamin D, Calcium and Magnesium
3. Omega 3 fatty acid
Vitamin D 3
Per the video, he says 1,000mg cinnamon 3x / day

I would literally not eat for like 3 days until I felt somewhat functional when I was younger. My doctor recommended birth control pills to help with the symptoms. Basically, over the years I tried almost every random thing on the internet and recommended by doctors. Smh.
I don’t know how u do it but I’m
Just on the second day of my period and dying and this video just came! And it’s soooo often when I have a problem or someone I know, I open UA-cam and dr Bergs new video is about that exact topic wooow
Perfect timing! I’m struggling with PMDD in my 30s and I’m desperately looking for a natural remedy. It’s debilitating. I got on birth control this year out of desperation and now regret it due to side effects. I stopped taking them a month ago but the withdrawal symptoms are wild. I refuse to get on any other prescription medication. Is anybody else out there struggling with PMDD? The doctors I visit, seem either clueless or dismissive about how extreme PMDD is. 😢

Did you tried acupunture session I feel like it reduce with few sessions
Damn! Just did the stretch and it did relieve some pain. Iam on my second day of cycle.
Thank you.
Same here
Man! I want you to live hundreds of thousands years,,,you are saving lives.
Ok, I saw this video yesterday and I came back here today to comment as my period started and I tested this. I don't have cramps exactly as I don't find it to be that painful but I always have this constant annoying feeling down there on my first or second day. Well I got the feeling, tested this position and boom: the feeling was gone instantly. What a relief. I can't believe I've never ever heard this anywhere before and I've had periods for almost 20 years already.
thank you so much for showing how to cure it naturally. I've been waiting for this video for so long.
Sure. Glad to share this video. Take care.
Geez, you just helped me piece together my 20 year long struggle with period agony. I’m glad to know I’m on the right track, thank you!
My mother always makes me cinnamon when I’m dying of period! Never thought it is actually that effective
Dr Berg’s videos /articles on menstruations may also help.
I will send this informative video to my Daughter. Thanks Dr. Berg! 🩷
Thanks. Hope this will help her.
Ginger and cinnamon is a great drink. Or golden milk with coconut cream.
The pain will not disappear if you are still consuming sugar and white flour. And not eating protein and vegetables.
Just in time for me, thank you. I've always had terribly painful periods. They got a bit better after I had kids, but I'm still down for a day with the cramps.
Let me

@@helenevion5948 I'll check them out, thanks!
The best remedy is 1) 1 to 2 tblsp molasses daily
2) roasted pumpkin seeds
Both contain magnesium.
3) Reduce dairy/calcium... interferes with magnesium absorption.
@@knowledgeiseverything7621 This is so helpful, thank you! I'm trying cutting out dairy at the moment anyway so it's great to have confirmation on that, I didn't know about it doing that to magnesium. Thanks so much!
Came back to say the stretch gave me immediate relief. The magnesium also helped within a half hour, have not tried the other suggestions.
What I realized was that, each time I worked out while on my peez the pain wasn’t that bad and the blood flow was quicker than when I wasn’t working out. I think this can help too.
I haven’t taken pain killers in almost 5yrs
For me majority of my cramps come from what I ate around that time causing me to need to go use the bathroom.
-So I try to drink more than I eat 3 days prior to my period and no diary
-Steam with lavender a week or a few days prior to your period coming on NEVER do it while your period is actually on.
-Drink raspberry tea
-And vitamin d3 does help
-Change your pads PLEASE to organic I would suggest using core pads. Regular pads have a lot of toxins in them
This stretch works!!!! I swear by it, I do it right before my period starts and it makes such a difference
Awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing!
Incredible timing as always! Thank you!
Most welcome!
That position does help. I tried so many positions and that position actually helps to reduce pain
What about calcium glucarate?
And dim?
They were mentioned in previous videos about cramps
Cinnamon will also lessen bleeding if you take enough .
I have a lot of women I need to show this too! I come from a family of heavy crampers 😮 Thank You
I drink 2 mugs of organic loose leaf raspberry leaf tea with spring water only everyday for a few days before my period starts and then up to 3 mugs a day everyday of my period and I have no more cramps, much lighter flow and my period has even shortened!! Also I switched to all organic pads & tampons and take weekly organic apple cider vinegar baths, all absolutely life changing!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Just in time! My period is so painful I sometimes throw up. I couldn't sleep yesterday because of the pain, even ibuprofen wasn't helping 😪 I'm going to try this. I've also heard raspberry leaf tea can help and plan to try that as well.
Thats not normal. I hope you know ❤ have you checked for endometriosis?
@@Bamgeutcutiepie I always thought it was until I read differently online! But whenever I mention it to the doctors they either brush me off or just want to put me on birth control which I refuse to go back on, so I just live with it unfortunately
please don't. i know it's what we are up against, but it's your human right. change doctors till you find someone who understand this basic fact. they do exist. please don't just let your body stay sick 💕you got this! you can do it!!! 🌺@@BananaSplitBlitz

I just love when the Doc has pertinent information for FEMALES 💕
Sure. Glad to share info that can help my female audience.
@@Drbergyour extreme keto diet is not good for fertile women who are not overweight. Just sayin'
Great info. I would love some help with PMDD. It’s a topic most doctors don’t want to touch on, lot of times writing a prescription, and I just don’t go that route. It’s been easier than it was in my 30’s, but I still struggle pretty hard before my bleeding starts.
I believe this has to do with hormonal imbalances. Can be remedied through diet and movement/living. Maybe find a hormone nutrition coach and do some mineral testing and find out what you need to focus on eating in diet to help balance hormones. This has brought me a long way!
If I would have only known this information before going into menopause I would have done things differently. BTW years ago when I initially complained to my local GP, her reply was "go and have a baby and the pain won't be as bad. I was shocked and became my own Dr studying natural remedies and stumbled upon Anna's wild yam cream which worked. I also love sprinkling cinnamon on top of my kefir shakes and raw cocoa drinks mixed with coconut milk. So yum! Thanks Dr Berg Your a gem. Aussie.
Thanks for sharing!
My stomachs been hurting since yesterday I took a pain pill but it’s still hurting this video just came in handy!! Great info I love that stretch pose it fixed my sciatica ❤

I’ve been taking Midol for a few months now it works wonders for me but I’m worried about the side effects of it.
My grandma sent me this video. I tried the stretches and it relieved the pain as long as I was in the stretch. I can’t wait to try this this remedy out.
I have had horrible period cramps my entire life, it was so bad at one point I was put on birth control. The BC did some weird stuff that scared me so I just threw it away. I really hope this helps because I don’t want to go back on any BC anytime soon
Thank you so much for this. I'd be even more grateful if you could do another talk on how to speed up the peri menopause process! 🙏
😂😂😂😂 I understand the pain.

CINNAMON! And stretch, vitamin D, magnesium, calcium, omega 3.
Yes. Calcium lactate or such. Avoid calcium carbonate.
All of dr berg suggestions + my own personal favourite not mentioned here is a good old fashioned hot water bottle, not one of those pre filled microwave ones just a regular hot water one, follow the instructions for filling and it will be fine, I think it’s a combination of the warmth plus the weight of the bottle….feels like a warm hug for your tummy x
Had cramps that kept me in bed for days - changed my diet no sugar, less meat, less dairy and cramps were absent, slight pressure first day and smooth the remainder.
Will share this information to all my #students... I feel pity each time they miss lessons, #scream from the #dormitory in #pain. Others even #faint due to much pain😢.Dr Berg thanks alot
So sorry to hear about your students. Hope my videos will help them.
Try to get them to go keto diet, or eliminate complex carbs and gluten

Ladies, dr. Burg has suggested DIM in the past and I can’t say enough about this product. In addition to everything else he says in this video, I would take them every day and you will see a marketable difference in any period pain.
I would imagine Curcumin would be on the list. It’s known to be as strong as ibuprofen. 😊
Sorry to say, but you are wrong. Nothing is such effective as Ibuprofen. I was taking Curcumin / Turmeric a looot, useless, as all the things mentioned in the reviews
Can you please do a video on ENDOMETRIOSIS & any help for that (besides surgery & continuous birth control)?
Had surgery years ago and they didn’t get it all &/or some grew back. 😩

@@helenevion5948are you using the UA-cam app on your phone or tablet? If so that's probably why a website address is not working
Dr Berg what would you say to adding DIM supplement - perhaps just before or at the time of the period to decrease estrogen? Asking for my daughter 🙏
Dr Berg’s videos /articles on DIM, on estrogen, on menstruations, ect, may help.
I was able to completely eliminate my period cramps by going on an all organic diet. Local grass-fed meat and organic vegetables. That’s just my experience.
Yes, it’s very common but must be shared. Thank you so much for sharing.
Organic helps alot because not organic meat is full of chemicals and hormones which imbalances that’s why we get painful cramps
Dr Berg, is there any truth behind sun charged water?
Can u do a video on it?
I’m suffered since 11 years old, when I thought I was dying, lol. I’ve been taking Advil ever since, which I’m sure isn’t good. Can’t wait to try this
Try fish oil, and ginger lemon infusion a week before and onwards

Dr. Mindy has great info about what to do the week before your period to help you not cramp. BUT Dr. Bergs video is great about what to do WHEN you have the cramps!! Thank you for this great info Dr. Berg! I love that you teach us how the body works and how things affect the body! 👏👏👏
Thanks for the remedy, very helpful, also please help us know the cause for cysts ruptures with very painful periods , causing dizziness ,fainting and how to prevent ?
The cause of the cyst ruptures (in my own personal experiences) are from inflammation. No doctor has been able to tell me why they burst other than that it’s natural they do. Any time I’ve gotten sick from a burst cyst, I noticed it was due to my uptake of sugar. It’s been a month since my last painful cyst burst and so far I feel great. My period is a few days later than normal but I’m not feeling those pre PMS signs that I usually feel when I’m about to start. And I haven’t eaten anything other than my own fresh homemade meals consisting of meats, veggies, nuts, fruits, sweet potatoes. So pretty much Paleo.
Goodluck to you my friend, you are not alone. Trust your diet though
Thank you 🙏
I made a discovery a couple years back and feel stupid I didnt come up with it sooner. Ive know for years that more out alignment I was the worse that pain and cramping was, so it always varied. One thing is consistent with my body and most people's in my practice (Rolfing) I would say 95% of my clients have one hip forward and the other back. Simple test, stand what you feel is square. Look down, if one foot is more forward its highly likely that hip is forward as well. The discovery was to lay on the side that the hip is back, knees bent slightly and stacked now take that hip that is forward and move it back so your legs are staggered. I usually am able to fall asleep like this. The pain subsides almost immediately for me. However I make sure and do magnesium and my body responds quite quickly to stretching. I often wake up in pain again to realize Im out of that position, I go back in and again immediate relief enough to fall back asleep
Black seed oil
No greasy food before period water n fruit

Can you please do a video about MSM?? I’ve been taking MSM for a while and it definitely helps with my cycles tremendously! The bleeding isn’t as heavy and the cramping is significantly lower. In my research I’ve found that it’s also great for reducing inflammation because it detoxifies the body from the cellular level. Would love to hear your input.

Dr Berg made videos on MSM and on inflammation that may help.
My wife is having bad cramps. This and a different foot reflexology video really helped!

Cinnamon we use is called GUI ZHI it’s the most active part of the actual herb

I get rid of my menstrual cramp/painful periods with a pinch of celtic sea salt. I get instant relief with this. Just a pinch is all I need for that day.
I used to suffer from this since I was sixteen years old. I ended 2 times to the hospital because I had vomits and such extreme pain. I don't have any pathological problems so my gynecologist kept on prescribing painkillers that didn't always work and also, over the years my body got used to them and they didn't work at all. So after 25 years of suffering I accidentally discovered that chicory juice can almost eliminate the pain within 10-15 minutes when it's consumed slightly hot. I like drinking it with some lemon for better taste and the results are always the same. The pain dissapears! Another plant recommended for period pains is achillea I haven't tried it yet so I ll give you feedback soon.
Magnesium glycinate- it’s all I’m sayin’ ❤
thank goodness for your advice Dr. Berg! this is so important, especially the part about side effects of ibuprofen!!
Thank you Dr Berg for the useful information ❤
Should I take these supplements every day/ two weeks before my period or on the day when the cramp starts? Thank you
Happy Wednesday!
Thanks for following!
Can you make your own cinnamon capsules or do they need to be purchased?
Regular cinnamon or Ceylon cinnamon
@jonimarshall8313 ceylon cinnamon is the real one, take it.
I am not religious but when I had a bad cramps I took out my rosary and pray for healing or least to get some sleep, that's how bad it is, not to mention feeling depress and hopeless, suicide, worst when you are single. 😔

Excellent topic.Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Have a nice day❤
Trans male tween right here, been experiencing horrible period cramps for only a few minutes tonight, happened a few days ago too, and a few other times I had my period, it really sucks, but that first fix helped. I reccomend drinking tons of water, using the bathroom a lot, eat chocolate, have a mental breakdown in the tub eating ice cream if you have to.
in Indonesia the most common for menstrual cramp is taking Turmeric juice. Traditionally takes about 2-3 days before and during period.
Dr Berg your freaking Amazing❤
I'm Greek. My mom would make me a warm drink out of cinnamon and clover. It really stinks and is hard to drink but omg it was the only thing that ever helped. Now it makes sense why!
There's a product called "period underwear" that came out a few years back. You wear it, wash it, let it dry and no more buying disposable pads. The surprising benefit is most women who switched to these, found their pms lessening greatly or even disappearing all together. It also reduced heavy bleeding and reduced the length of each cycle.
Some women began making their own sanitary pads from muslin or other unbleached absorbent materials and also experienced reduction of pms and shortened menstrual cycles.
For any women who want to sew their own products, I know that Heidi from Rain Country Homestead has a detailed YT video on that and I'm sure there's others, as well.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching the video.
Dr. Berg, I'm 37 years old and for a year now I've been taking Clove Spice ( ground ) when I'm in pain, an amount of 2 teaspoons with lukewarm water and it's magic!
No, it's not a placebo effect because I've tried other substances that didn't help.
Please make an informational video about cloves and explain how it is such a powerful pain reliever! How It Works?! Thanks
I can honestly say at age 45 I have probably only had a couple dozen periods in my life with bad cramps- I believe this is because I was vegetarian but I am not sure. Interestingly - I want to use this info for my occasional headaches. I do not like taking Advil I feel bad the following days to week, almost like I get a rebound headache. I have only taken Advil or Tylenol also a couple dozen times in my life and I avoid it at all costs. It is strange because my Dad took it a few times a day for around 4 years for various pains and he seems fine but he quit. I’m starting to think females react to drugs way different than men but in any case my relatively infrequent but severe headache I will try Cinnamon/ thank you Dr. Berg
Great 👍 Dr Berg’s videos /articles on headaches may also help.
Hey Dr Berg, I follow for months now, and stater keto and intermittent fasting, drop about 20 pounds, but now I can’t stop eating cookies at the middle of the night, I am having a difficult time quitting.
thank you for this video. currently suffering but getting informed! does ginger help as well? like ginger tea
Iovaries hurt too. I had by choice my uterus removed in my mind 30s 34 I believe. And every so often I had period pain , not nearly as bad. Now in my early 50s it's so rare, but praise God I'm not having menopause. Nothing has changed 🎉🙏💯
@drberg you mentioned taking Calcium and Magnesium together with vit D. Wouldn't that oppose the uptake of both Ca and Mg since they are both positively charged ions? so i assume neither would be absorbed? please clarify. thank you!
My one stop Doc
Dr. Berg, does this treatment apply to chronic pelvic inflammatory disease? My doctor told me that the reason for this is a thick infection in the pelvis that descends from the vagina into the pelvis
It may help. Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on inflammation and on infections may help with more data.
thank you I knew about omega 3 and the minerals but I tried adding cinnamon and I have had no cramps this cycle. I am so happy that I can apply this in the future and have no pain. I also used to experience very poor sleep and I'm hoping this will also go away.
Hello Dr. Berg,
I am a loyal viewer of yours. My father has been diagnosed with stage III brain cancer, and the doctors have mentioned that he may have only two to three years to live.
I am wondering if fasting can be a potential treatment for brain cancer. Are there any other methods that could help with the treatment?
Please, I implore you to provide me with some guidance. Thank you.
Yes. See Dr Berg’s videos on each of the points you mention, including interviews. Possibly easier to find on his website / app. Or by asking his staff.
Thank you Dr Berg ❤ your content is so useful 👏
Glad to hear that! You're very welcome!
Doctor many women triggered menstrual pain while passing stool. This is a big issue among women, they can't eat because if they go to the restroom, the pain will kill them and they're going to vomit. The ease of passing of stool and having enough fibers before the start of cycle are very Important factors.
Not eating while on periods is not good for health.
Eating bananas in my cycle helped with cramps for some reason.
