If PMS didn't cause enough discomfort, then wait for the first day of period and all hell breaks loose. Most of us experience period pain that makes it so difficult to get on with daily chores. And if you have any underlying reproductive issue, then the cramps can get worse to the point it gets unbearable. 

While there are many home remedies that have been brimming the internet to ease period pain, a nutritionist recently shared an Instagram post that has proven to be quite effective in easing the cramps. 

Nutritionist Lovneet Batra shared a period pain hack about eating jaggery. She wrote, "Having a small piece of jaggery works by releasing endorphins from the body. It can also prevent premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and has anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties that help in reducing uterine cramps."

Earlier, Kareena Kapoor's nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar shared that soaked raisins and saffron can also help ease the pain. According to the celebrity nutritionist, soaked raisins and kesar (saffron) not just soothe menstrual cramps but are also effective in dealing with mood swings. 

Soak 4-5 raisins with some kesar overnight and have it first thing in the morning. Diwekar suggests that one can follow this routine on other days too, as it helps in digestion. Besides this, kesar is known to affect serotonin activity.
