6 magic products in your kitchen

Find out what are these 6 beneficial foods in our days!

1.Ginger
Ginger is known for its natural analgesic properties, which are attributed to several bioactive compounds present in the plant. The most important compounds in this regard are the gingerols, shogaol and zingerone. These compounds have several effects that may contribute to its ability to relieve pain:


Anti-inflammatory properties:
The gingerols, in particular, have significant anti-inflammatory effects. Inflammation is a biological response to injury or tissue damage and is often a source of pain. By reducing inflammation, ginger can help reduce associated pain.


Inhibition of Prostaglandin Synthesis:
Gingerols have been shown to inhibit the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which plays a key role in the production of prostaglandins, which are chemical mediators involved in inflammation and pain. By doing this, ginger can reduce pain similar to how non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen work.


2.Magnesium

Magnesium can exert an indirect analgesic effect on the body through several mechanisms, although it is not an analgesic in the conventional sense. The following are some of the ways in which magnesium may contribute to pain relief:

Regulation of NMDA Channels:
Magnesium acts as a natural blocker of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) channels in nerve cells. NMDA receptors are involved in pain transmission. By blocking these receptors, magnesium can help reduce the sensation of pain, especially in conditions such as neuropathy or neuropathic pain.

Reduced Inflammation:
Magnesium has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. It can decrease levels of inflammatory markers in the body, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), which are associated with chronic pain and inflammation.

Muscle Relaxation:
Magnesium is essential for proper muscle function. It can help prevent or relieve muscle cramps and tension by interfering with muscle contraction, which can be a source of pain.


3.Infusions
Infusions of certain herbs and plants may have analgesic effects due to the bioactive compounds they contain. These substances can act in the body in various ways to reduce or relieve pain. Here are some mechanisms by which infusions may be analgesic:

Anti-inflammatory Compounds:
Many plants have natural anti-inflammatory properties. For example, turmeric and ginger contain compounds that can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory enzymes and cytokines in the body, which can help reduce inflammation and associated pain.

Alkaloids:
Some infusions contain alkaloids that can act on the central and peripheral nervous system to reduce pain perception. For example, willow bark infusion contains salicin, which in the body is converted to salicylic acid, a precursor to aspirin.

Flavonoids:
These antioxidant compounds, present in many plants, can help reduce cell damage and inflammation, often resulting in pain relief.


4.Essential oils
Maybe you have lavender or peppermint essential oil in your drawers? Diffused, inhaled or massaged (mixed with a carrier oil), they work wonders to soothe cramps and headaches.


5.White vinegar
White vinegar is a natural disinfectant. You can add a small amount of white vinegar (about a tablespoon) to your menstrual panty rinse water to help eliminate odors (or let it soak overnight for a thorough cleaning).

6.Rice
Fill a cotton bag with dry rice and seal it tightly. Rice naturally retains heat, so pop the bag in the microwave or oven (not too hot) for a few minutes to make a natural hot water bottle. It also works with dried lentils.

These products have beneficial properties to combat the aches and pains caused by menstruation.

In addition, our panties, being 100% natural, respect the PH and the natural flow avoiding chemicals that alter our vaginal flora and cause or increase the pain or even the bleeding or the time that lasts our menstruation.
