Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 What herbs are good for this kind of pain...you know the aching all through the back kind of cramps. I work with someone who had such intense menstrual cramps she could barely get out of bed and often didn't. They were terrible. She went to a holistic MD and he gave her Vitex. It completely alleviated the pain and she said she finally felt sane again. Vitex is an herb, also known as chaste tree. Gloria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I can't tell you anything for the short term, but Calcium Supplements and Chasteberry do the trick for me. Taken daily - after a cycle or two the cramps lessened Greatly. Alos, lots of water, and interestingly enough I've found that if I don't eat meat during my period that the cramps are not so bad.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hi Victoria, I have a Calcium/Magnesium drink which works excellent for this pain (at least it does for me!), hotwater bottle (on the tummy) or hot bath works great too, but doesn't last long. Calcium is a very underrated but excellent pain killer! Doc has a female formula (it's in the files) which re-balances the hormones, often the problem with the painful cramps. Not an immediate solution if you need one right now, but definitely worth a try for next month. BTW, I suggest taking that formula mid-cycle. I once took it just before my period was due, and that period was VERY painful. The next ones weren't. love Lisa - victoriameetze herbal remedies Monday, August 23, 2004 9:59 PM Herbal Remedies - menstral cramps I never used to have them but now I do, what can I take, I do not loke taking advil or midol but sometimes I give up and can't take it anymore.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I would reccemond the same thing. Espically the female formula. White Willow Bark is also a good general pain killer.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hi Victoria, I can recomend something I use. It is called " For Her " . I am the mother of twins and two other children (3 of them are adults and one is 8 years old now). Since I was young I always suffered from cramps during this time...also after the twins, 20+ years ago, I suffered as well from a heavy flow. Now I do not suffer from the cramps and my flow only lasts two days. I highly recomend it. You can get it at www.real.beautyisscience.com I hope this helps you let me know, Kathy herbal remedies , " victoriameetze " <victoriameetze> wrote: > I never used to have them but now I do, what can I take, I do not > loke taking advil or midol but sometimes I give up and can't take it > anymore.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hi Victoria, I know you've gotten lots of advice on this already, but this one I have some personal experience with and wanted to throw my comments in. I found that my cramps were always worse when I hadn't been exercising, so I highly recommend that you've got some kind of activity every day, even if just a brisk 20 minute walk. The other thing I had some luck with, on the days of the cramps was peppermint tea. It took a lot to drive me to this because I HATE peppermint, but it did help.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Yes, that was already recommended. My situation was completely handled with the cleanse and female formula. Now my period sneaks up on me! No warning! LOL!
