Why am I only "getting it" now?

luv4all7 said:

Hey Mach, do U have any remedies for cramps?

Maybe it was done by georgia o keefe..?

luv4all7 said:

you do mean beside OTC drugs right ?

Mach said:

Is OTC over the counter? Yeah, or other rememdies.

luv4all7 said:

go get yourself some magnesium. it will help alot

Essential oil of lavender rubbed into crampy areas feels great. Lavender is known for its relaxing calming effect

Heat on the abdomen - the old standby - try a hot bath or a hot water bottle

Raspberry leaf tea. This is considered to be a good uterine tonic; some women find that drinking it before their periods helps with cramps. Follow the directions on the box.

"Dragon Time". It is produced by Young Living Essential Oils. It is $12.00 for 4 oz., but I only use 4-6 drops, and the relief is almost instantaneous

When I had some, a few drops of the Bach Flower Remedies Rescue Remedy rubbed on my abdomen used to work wonders for me. Why it worked is a bit of a mystery to me, but then Bach Flower Remedies always are marvellously mysterious.
An infusion of grated ginger root warms me up and provides almost instantaneous relief from cramps. It's an excellent alternative to pharmacy painkillers.

There is a natural gel called Inner Peace, made by Inno-vite. This product is amazing - I noticed big differences in just a month. Its a gel that you rub onto your arms, stomach, legs, etc. throughout the month in different amounts, and the Wild Yam in it apparantly eases the pain.

Passion Flower tincture definitely helps cramps. Put a few drops in some chamomile tea and vua la. Go to your health food store and ask about the tincture or even how to make your own.

Good calls, Mach. Raspberry leaf is one of the best uterine tonifiers in the natural world.

The Mistress is an herbalist by trade and has a couple of additional suggestions:

Cramp bark is a really good remedy (yes, that's the name of the plant...you boil the bark in fresh water, strain and drink with honey). My favorite remedy is a mixture of cramp bark, catnip leaves, vitex berries, and fresh ginger root, simmered in some water for about 30 minutes and drunk with honey.

You can buy dried cramp bark and other herbs from Mountain Rose Herbs, or just get some fresh ginger root from the supermarket. Peel and slice a few pieces the size of quarters, and simmer as above.

Warm peppermint tea has been known to do the trick for me, but others have had results ranging from total relief to nothing at all. Different plants are friends to different people.

But the number one rememdy that I recommend for painful periods is regular self care. When we don't take care of ourselves with regular rest and self-care, our bodies will take us down. One of the ways women's bodies do this is through painful periods. It's a way of forcing us to slow down, stay in bed, take a bath. Once I learned this and consciously incorporated more rest and self-care into my everyday routine, my periods were significantly less painful and miserable.

Good luck.

i love cramp bark ...i have a rather lrg bag in my cupboard

i grow fresh mint right outside my kitchen and love using that for lots of things too

Mach said:

Peppermint is one of my most cherished plant allies...I use peppermint tea for everything from cramps to depression to indigestion to headaches. It also contains a stunning array of vitamins and minerals.

FunkMistress said:

...i grow spearmint also .. i love to throw in a few leaves for a slight taste change

I think the word "twat" is totally disgusting.

Although, it is better than the c- word.

Nice paintings you have there, though.
