Many women these days are suffering from painful lower abdominal cramps, to a point that they are not able to do their day to day work. This condition is called dysmenorrhea. This can be caused with or without a underlying disease condition. When there is an underlying condition, then the focus of treatment should be on that. When the cramps occur without any underlying condition, it is mostly due to unhealthy food and lifestyle habits. In either case, this pain can be reduced by taking ayurvedic medicines, diet, yoga and panchakarma therapies.
