Home Remedy #4: Omega-3 Fatty Acid
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. It can be divided into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), alpha linolenic acid (ALA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fatty acids can be found in marine algae and phytoplankton. Other common sources include algal oil, walnuts, flaxseed oil, and hemp oil.
Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for the body’s normal metabolism. These components have been found to help decrease inflammation. Some studies found that women who take omega-3 fatty acids as a supplement experience less menstrual pain compared to those who take a placebo.
