Natural Relief for Period Pain: Hot, Cold & Oils

by Jaime Thomson

Let’s be real: period pain is the worst. Whether you get mild cramps, intense endo flare-ups, or those deep aches that stop you in your tracks — you deserve real relief that’s gentle, natural, and easy to use at home, in the office or out and about. 

At Blair Henry Designs, we specialise in hot and cold therapy that actually fits into your life — beautifully made and filled with lupin for long-lasting, natural comfort.

Let’s walk through our favourite ways to ease period pain using hot, cold, and essential oils.

1. Heat Therapy – Your Cramp Fighting Bestie

Heat therapy has been used for centuries to ease menstrual discomfort. Applying heat to the lower abdomen can:

  • Relax the muscles of the uterus

  • Increase blood flow

  • Reduce the intensity of cramps

  • Ease lower back tension

Our Back & Belly Belt was designed with this in mind — it straps around your waist, stays in place, and gives targeted relief exactly where you need it. Hands-free, reusable, and always there when you need it.

2. Cold Therapy – For Swelling, Fatigue, and Endo Flares

If you're feeling swollen, achy, or suffering from endometriosis-related inflammation, cold therapy can be a game changer.
Chilling one of our back and belly belts, square or long packs in the freezer for a few hours creates a cold compress that:

  • Numbs discomfort

  • Reduces inflammation

  • Feels refreshing and calming on bloated bellies or sore lower backs

Try rotating heat in the morning and cold in the evening to balance comfort and recovery.

3. Essential Oils – Calm the Cramps (and your Mood)

Because our packs are fragrance-free, you can add your own favourite oils to tailor the experience.
Here are a few we love:

  • Clary Sage: Hormone-balancing, antispasmodic, and great for cramps

  • Lavender: Calming, anti-inflammatory, and helps you rest

  • Frankincense: Reduces anxiety and supports deep relaxation

We get it — you’re busy, tired, and juggling everything. That’s why our packs are:

  • Quick to heat or chill

  • Mould to your body

  • Made with soft cotton and no nasties

  • Reusable for years

Natural relief doesn’t have to be complicated. It just has to work.
