QUESTION: Dear Jamaica Herbalist,
I suffer from severe menstrual cramps which cause me to faint, go into hot and cold sweats, vomit and have loose bowels. I was wondering what you would recommend me taking as I am really desperate. The pain is unbearable.
Kind Regards
Moneek
RESPONSE: Dear Moneek,
There are a lot you can take to reduce or rid your cramps once you have visited the doctor and confirm there is nothing critically wrong with your system. Its more importantly about diet and lifestyle.
Aside from increasing your intake of omega found in fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies you should up on your diet of Magnesium is a mineral found naturally in foods such as green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains.
Teas from ginger, guinea hen weed, water grass, peppermint are also helpful.
