does papaya help in periods - #24757
I am really trying to figure out if papaya helps in periods. Lately, I've been having these intense cramps during my cycle, and even though I try to eat healthy, I can't seem to get relief. A friend suggested that I start eating papaya because she heard that it can help with menstrual cramps and maybe even regulate the flow. Honestly, I'm skeptical. Like, does papaya really help in periods? Last month, I made a smoothie with papaya, but I didn't notice any significant difference, and I felt frustrated. Do I need to consume more of it, or is there a right time during my cycle when it’s most effective? I've also read some weird stuff online about papaya causing heavy bleeding—that's super confusing!! Should I be cautious about eating papaya if I already have heavy periods? I really wanna find something natural to relieve the pain and make my periods a bit easier. Any insights? I mean, does papaya help in periods or is it just one of those myths?
