I recently got some tea at the grocery store, because I have horribly strong cramps both a day or two before my period and for the first day or two of bleeding as well. I just wanted to share my find with you ladies :) Here's the excerpt on the box:

Woman’s Moon Cycle - Menstrual Comfort
Organic Woman’s Moon Cycle is an organic way to regulate mood swings, cramps and other minor symptoms of premenstrual discomfort. Our formula includes Dong Quai (Angelica sinensis) prescribed for centuries by practitioners of Chinese Medicine for balance, healthy menstruation and common PMS complaints. In addition, we have included Chaste Tree Berry (Vitex agnus– castus) which according to recent clinical research is effective in reducing symptoms of PMS. To calm hormonal influences and purify the skin and blood, we’ve added Organic Raspberry Leaf, recognized by German Commission E for menstrual respite. Juniper Berry and Organic Parsley Leaf ease water retention and promote mineral and hormonal steadiness, while Organic Chamomile Flower relaxes the mind and comforts the body. Yogic wisdom suggests women remain balanced, calm and nurture themselves during their monthly cycle. Let the herbal blend of Woman’s Moon Cycle help support you on your Moon Days.

There're also Women's Dong Quai Tonic and Women's Raspberry Leaf teas that may be of interest here. Check out the links for more info about what's in the teas, how to prepare, helpful yoga positions, and more :)

I would just like to caution readers of this post to look at the post saved in the memories on Organic Raspberry Leaf Tea (http://www.livejournal.com/community/menstrualhut/1237742.html). If your cramps/pains are caused by certain serious gynecological problems, this tea could do more harm than good. Herbal tea is always tauted as being all good for you. Just be careful, because herbs can sometimes be toxic on the body -- as toxic as any mainstream medicine.

If you're at all unsure as to whether you should be taking herbal treatments for your condition, whatever it may be, please seek the advice of a qualified naturopath, hebalist, doctor of Chinese medicine or nutritionist.
