DYSMENORRHEA

A great number of women suffer severe pain before and during the periods. In many of these cases we can by overcoming the local congestion give the greatest relief. We recommend:

  • 1. Massage of the liver.
  • 2. Massage of the whole abdomen.
  • 3. St. rotation of arms.
  • 4. L. rotation of feet.
  • 5. St. rotation of body.
  • 6. L. rotation of leg.
  • 7. St. bending of turned body.
  • 8. L. rotation of pelvis.

This treatment should be given to the patient at least two weeks before the period is expected, and she should be properly instructed how to take a few good movements to prevent the congestion of blood in the abdomen.

I have made the observation that women who lace tightly are always the greatest sufferers from dysmenorrhea.
