Menstrual Cramps Massage

[lapiswitch]

I kind of thought that everyone knew how to massage away menstrual cramps, but I found out tonight that I was wrong. So I thought I'd share my 'secret' with you all. It also works for constipation and gas

If you are doing it to someone else, closed fists, used carefully, also work very well. (Gently, mind. Firm and deep, but slow and careful.) Some people find that position awkward to do to themselves, but I've known people who do it.

The other thing that helps, if you're working on someone else, is to position the hands about six inches apart, vaguely over the ovaries, and push back and forth in a sort of kneading motion -- one fist pushes while the other lets up, and vice versa.

I used to do that for one of my roommates all the time.
