'I have had such good success with Cramp Bark that it is often the starting point, especially if the pain is sharp and intense. Wild Yam is also superb at helping when the pain is more deep, dull and aching.

Many women instinctively feel like putting some form of heat onto their belly to relieve period pain. If this helps and you likewise apply the same kind of heat to the feet at the same time the relief obtained may be more than doubled.

It is of course vital to look at the bigger picture with a view to understanding why the periods are so painful and what can be done to treat the cause. In talking with my colleagues as well as from my own practice I can see that painful periods and women’s problems in general are areas that herbal medicine consistently excels in helping.

There is a high likelihood that you will be well rewarded if you do what it takes to find a good herbalist and go and visit with them.
