I've taken ten pain relievers, a chinese herb patch and a hot bath (I don't know of anything a hot bath can't cure) after the bath a hot pad and still was in unbearable pain. On top of the pain the pain relievers made me light headed, and sick. My friend told me about a tincture that her mom bought specifically for pms cramping, I didn't think it would help. But I tried it and not to much longer I wasn't in pain! I couldn't believe it, not only did it actually relieve my pain, but I can go through the day and only have taken it once! Thats crazy to me, considering what I used to have to do! It is a liquid herbal extract, Vitex agnus-castus, also known as Chaste Tree. I buy it in a tincture and put about 20-30 drops in a little water and am good to go :)I have been looking for herbal remedies to help with my bloating and you have given me great ideas. I'll let you know how they work! Thanx for the info! I have always experienced excruciating pain due to cramps.

It mimics estrogen in the body. I recently tried it and I think it may have helped with the cramping and sleepiness I tend to experience about a week before Aunt Flo comes to town.

That's so interesting that's the origin of nose piercing! Who knew? I don't really get cramps but had my eyebrow and lip pierced for awhile.....does that have an effect on anything? Wow!

It's delicious that way. I like to add a peppermint leaf - the two go well together.Funny, I have my nose pierced but didn't know that it was supposed to alleviate cramps! But now that I think about it, I really don't get them too bad. Samantha, you can definitely drink Red Raspberry Tea iced! It’s delicious that way.

Years ago, to help alleviate cramps I got my nose pierced (per Auyrvedic tradition) which is supposed to help with cramps and labor pains... don't know yet it of works for labor pains but it has -somewhat- helped with my cramps. Some days though -like today- I just need coffee, even though I know it will kill me. I'll have to try the red raspberry tea. I wonder if it would work the same as an iced tea? Thoughts?? :)For a "anytime" tea I love Republic of Tea's "Good Hope Vanilla", it's naturally caffeine-free rooiboos blended with vanilla bean and a hint of cream.. it's so yummy with a swirl of vanilla. :) Thanks Stephanie, I’ll def have him try that.

Years ago when cramps were kicking my arse every month and over the counter stuff didn't help enough, I started trying teas. Like Kim said, red raspberry is awesome. That helped me so much. Blended teas made just for our "moon time" (tee hee) are my favorite though. I just watch out for the ones heavy in fennel because of the "licorice" taste :P For reals!

I personally use Mountain Rose Herbs' 'Liver Care' capsules since the medication I take for insulin resistance can damage the liver.

I love peppermint teas with a bit of chocolate :) Also, my boyfriend has a horrible liver problem (doctors don't know what it is) and I have suggested he tries the dandelion leave tea ... I'll let you all know if it works. Also, avoiding caffeine during PMS helps reduce cramps. Cut it out of your diet 2-3 days before you start and you'll notice a difference. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water. And as uncomfortable as they can be doing sit ups can help relieve cramps as well. I’ll have to try this next time.
