Cramp bark contains phytochemicals that calm cramps Herbal teas for menstrual cramps : Herbs that relax the stomach muscles, called antispasmodics, contain phytochemicals that ease muscle spasms and help relax the uterus. Many of these same herbal allies have a gentle sedatating effect, helping to calm frayed nerves at the same time. Black and blue cohosh, though unrelated herbs, can be combined to treat painful cramps. My favorite old remedy is a soothing cup of raspberry tea, sipped slowly until the cramping subsides, others prefer a cup of lemon balm or catnip. Whatever your favorite, try adding a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger to enhance both flavor and effect. |

Aromatherapy for painful periods: A soothing abominal massage can go a long way in releasing pain and tension from the lower belly. Some good choices are for massage blends are clary sage, chamomile, geranium and Jasmine. These same oils can be added to a warm, relaxing herbal bath. |
