Stomach pain can ruin your day. You might suffer from chronic stomach pain that is so intense that you might struggle to get through day-to-day activities. Sometimes, abdominal pain can be the worst kind of pain that you can experience. If you feel wary about the pain relievers and laxatives that your doctor might prescribe you, there plenty of herbs like the ever-helpful peppermint that can be used to relieve lower abdominal pain.

• German chamomile
• Meadowsweet
• Slippery Elm
• Kankerbossie
• Ginger
• Fennel

One of the best herbs of all for abdominal pain is peppermint. Peppermint can prevent spasms in the digestive system and also encourages gastric secretions.

Exercises are also good for lower abdominal pain as long as they are not too vigorous. One good form of exercise is yoga, since yoga works the body slowly and is not too hard on the abdomen. Yoga can be combined with meditation, breathing and relaxation exercises, and aromatherapy.

Also, you can prevent lower abdominal pain by remaining in motion. Sitting or standing for a long period of time can contribute to the strain on your abdomen and increase lower abdominal pain. The way you sleep might also contribute to lower abdominal pain.
