Hare Krishna dear Sisters and Mothers,
Here I wanted to share with amazing thing which I used in my own self and got very good results.
Usually many girls are having pains during their menstrual periods. The main reason for that might be some inflammations in female organs because of cold and etc.
Once I was at home, and this period started with so much pain that I felt myself as if my intestines were coming out. It was so painful that by the time I was not even to stand what to speak of walking and doing something around the house. No one was at home so I could only lie down, cry and somehow sleep in order not to feel this pain. Hours past. I did not move from my place and felt little relief. But later my sister came home and seeing my condition gave me a pain killer. I wanted to refuse to drink that pill but I did not have any choice I did. And pain was gone after 30-40 minutes.
But in the reality that pill did not cure anything it just stopped my feelings of pain.
In this way 2-3 days I had to drink a painkiller.
Month past, I left home to my studies in India. And I used to live alone. Because of that it was difficult for me to get sick. Next periods started and with that amount of pain. Now I did not have my sister nearby, no painkillers…nothing!
Then I thought if it is because of inflammation which is usually because of cold “so let me try to heat the body!” So I had 250 ml of Mayapur ghee. I took half tea spoon of that ghee, heated on fire and applied on areas of pain. And You do not believe me, after half hour pain WAS GONE! I was shocked. I was amazed!
It says cow is a walking drugstore – so she was!
From that day on, I daily apply little warmed ghee to those places where I felt pain. It is also good if we apply it when we have inflammation in our kidneys but it is another story J

Dear Mataji Maral,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you for sharing this. The ghee is surely a miraclous substance, the essence of cow's milk.
I do not know much detail about this, but one doctor told my devotee friend that the pain has to do with the opening of the womb when the menstruation starts. And that after giving birth the womb becomes more open and there is less pain. In my country there is a saying elder women sometimes tell the young girls that they will not have pain after giving birth, and it makes the girls upset. But according to this doctor it is true. At that time we were living in brahmacharinin ashram, so that doctor advised my friend to go into hot shower when menstruation starts and heat the belly until pain stops. But I am sure the ghee helps better.
My own experience, I always had a lot of pain when menstruation started and always took several pills every time because otherwise I could not get through it. But after my son was born, I have no more pain, zero. Still, I do not feel great when the menstruation starts, I still feel weak and prefer to take rest. In traditional culture women are allowed to take rest on those days. But I have no more pain. So I think that the girls in traditional society who have children very soon after attaining puberty will have less problem with this, though I am not sure.
And I also know one mataji who had a lot of pain and also she could not become pregnant. But after taking an ayurvedic panca karma treatment she had no more pain and after a few months became pregnant. Again, I do not know much detail about this but as far as I understand taking the oil baths and oil enemas in that treatment helps a lot with different problems of female organs. Some of these things are also advised for last months of pregnancy to make the childbirth more easy.

please accept my humble obeisances dear Madhavi Lata Mataji,
thank You for Your reply!
Yes, pancha karma is the process where mostly used pure cow ghee. First they clean the body from the dirt. They do other things.
It is amazing, Ayurvedic medicine is such that works mostly not on the disease itself but in prevention of such like diseases.
When i was a pujari at the Temple i was so busy that i hardly could find time to eat properly in this way i used to become sick more often and loose my days on the bed. So it was in the mode of passion.
But later i read that in South India Pujaris spend daily even hours taking care of their bodies. Like applying oil, messaging, ....and never get sick.
In Ayurveda it is said that every day we have to wash our mouth with till oil. And few days in a week to apply oils to the whole body...because oil warms body and makes it smooth and removes dirt easily.

Maybe that doctor is correct. Maybe after child child birth it will go away. But still if pain is there it is abnormal. And i know the reason of my pains, it is because of cold and often wet clothes.
I requested my friend also to apply ghee and she did and after few minutes pain was gone. So thought to share it with my Sisters here :D
Thank You so much dear Madhavi Lata Mataji! It is so nice to talk to You!
Your servant,
