20 Best Herbs For Menstrual Cramps (2023 Updated)

I ordered 6 bottles, thinking it would be awesome, but after trying it for two months I don’t think I’ll be using them in the future. I went through an entire bottle with the first period. I got SUPER bloated, which never happens to me.

The pain did subside, but only to come back later in the cycle (when my period pain would have passed, around CD 4) in the form of terrible inflammation. My usual soothing bath only made it worse, and I ended up going to the doctor because I thought something must be wrong.

They tested me for infections and even eptopic pregnancy, and nothing came up. The bloating just made everything feel awful and I cried for the entire doctor’s visit because of the pain and sudden depression.

For my second period, I decided to give it another go, in case the last time was a fluke. I used far less (maybe 1/3-1/2 of the bottle), but still ended up with more bloating than normal, delayed cramping and inflammation.

I also felt depressed at the end of this period, which again is unusual for me. I’m not sure if it’s related to the herbal relief itself, or the fact that I suddenly felt like I would be stuck with horrible cramps until menopause because this thing didn’t work out.

Conclusions: Guess I’ll stick to iburprofen, RLT and lavender essential oil. It did provide immediate relief, but my cramping just seemed to move to the later part of my period week, and with an inflamed vengeance.

It should also be noted that I have above-average period pain, and possibly some degree of endometriosis.

This stuff really works great, I’ve noticed a little bit after I take it my cramps drastically lessens. It’s a live saver when I am having really bad pain before my work shift. I prefer this rather than advil, it has herbs that actually support your menstrual cycle ❤️ I will be forever using this!.

This has been the o my thing that has worked for my severe cramps for years now. I have said many times that I should’ve bought stock in this product years ago. I started ordering online so I always have backup.

This has been a lifesaver for me through the years.

After having my last child in Dec 2018 my periods were semi normal then I started getting really bad periods June 2019 I bled for 21-25 days off for 5 days then repeat. I became anemic and had low to no energy most days.

I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with adenomyosis. I would bleed so bad that I had to take medicine to stop the bleeding but that medicine made me very irritable and messed with me mentally so I was put on depo but I still bled, my Dr told me the only way this could be cured it to get a hysterectomy in which I refused and stopped the depo as well.

I started looking into natural teas and came across Dherbs menstrual cycle tea and gave it a try my 1st month taking it I drank 2-3 cups of tea a day for the duration of my period, i still bled for 20 days but it was lighter.

I was off for 16 days and when I came back on I started drinking the tea again, this period only lasted 7 days and was like a normal period. This tea is heaven sent for me and it really works I haven’t had a normal period in 3 years.

Thanks you Dherbs I will continue to purchase the menstrual cycle tea and even decided to purchase the energy tea as well, I am hoping that tea works as well as the menstrual cycle tea lord knows I am ready to have normal energy levels again!!.

This products works and definitely met my expectations. My cycle was delayed for 4 months due to stress, my FSH levels being too high and other hormonal related issues. My gynecologist suggested I go on fertility drugs or contraceptives to help balance my hormones.

I for one was never too keen on taking unnecessary drugs that will throw my hormones off balance. I read the reviews about this product and was eager to give it a try because I knew this would solve my problems.

Within 2-3 weeks of drinking this tea on a daily basis, my menstrual cycle was back on track. I have never been so excited to see my cycle. I just ordered my second package and will be taking it regularly to continue reaping the benefits for optimal health! This tea is the truth ladies.

you have nothing to lose!!!.

This is one of several products I’ve tried from Dherbs over the past few years, and as always, it met my expectations. I began drinking a cup every night 4-5 days prior to starting my period. The flavor is mild and tastes great with honey and lemon.

From the moment I started menstruating, I was plagued with terrible dysmenorrhea for several years, with severe pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Upon discovering Dherbs menstrual cycle formula, it was the thing that drastically shifted the suffering I experienced every month.

So this tea just helped to take things up a notch. My pain levels were minimal (considering where they had once been). I also noticed that my period was lighter overall. I did not see a reduction in the number of days, but it slowed down significantly earlier than usual.

I noticed no breast tenderness prior to starting. I was less bloated and took less over the counter painkillers. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this tea and will keep it in my arsenal for ultimately combating all period symptoms.

Holy wow. this product is a life changer. I feel the effects from taking this immediately, so far the two days I’ve used this, I’ve gone from feeling like I just wanted to burst out sobbing to blissful and like I’m floating on a cloud.

This is really not an exaggeration, it is working that well for me. My husband said even the tenor of my voice changed within the five minutes I took it the first time. Soooo grateful to find this!.

I have suffered from wild mood swings for decades and just accepted it as normal. It was a struggle for my family. I have started taking this tincture at the start of my luteal phase (right after ovulation) and it has made all the difference in the world.

It has countered the extreme side effects from the drop in estrogen leading up to menses for me. It has practically eliminated my volatility and immeasurably increased my patience. So grateful to you for this product!.

I’ve just started using this product for the first time after struggling with PMS related mood issues for years. I have only used it for one cycle but I found that even using half the recommended dose was hugely beneficial!! I was actually quite shocked at how well it works and I am so incredibly happy to have found a natural alternative to very common but life-altering symptoms.

So far so good! I’m about 3 weeks in. The first week and a half I was just super bloated, it was so uncomfortable. I felt a little constipated too. And then everything began releasing and I started having more regular bigger bowel movements more frequently and slowly but surely I started seeing little white pieces in my stool like little grains of rice.

I didn’t inspect it too much to look for other anomalies but that stood out for sure. I certainly believe this formula works! I think I’m going to do a 3 month cleanse just to be sure I got as much of them as possible and until I feel the symptoms have fully disappeared but I certainly have noticed some positive changes in my health.

I highly recommend this. And I’m so glad it’s super easy to commit to, just three pills once per day!.

I turned 40y/o & thats when I started having irregular periods. They would be as short as 1 day up to as long as 3 mths. Docs had ran every test that you can think of & everything came back normal and can’t explain why I can fill up a “after child birth” pad within 1 to 2hrs.

The docs want to put me on birth control but I don’t have fallopian tubes. After taking the Menstrual Cycle formula, I’m doing much better than before. The heavy bleeding is now my regular amount. No more hot & cold flashing, no more feeling tired, no more drinking energy drinks, no more sleeping the day away, no more feeling confused from too much blood lost.

I wanna say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, I rather be on herbs for the rest of my life over some man made chemical that could give me more problems later.

I’ve been a member of Herbs fan club for over 10 years, and I can attest that all their products work. Lately I’ve been feeling dizzy doing lots of yard work, so I had a checkup and they found nothing other than my cholesterol is a bit high.

Decided to purchase herbal H after reviewing the reviews and purchase a bottle which was delivered very quickly. My headache is gone, and my dizziness is gone so I must give credit where credit is due and that’s with Dherbs.

If you are considering or maybe skeptical of ordering anything here, don’t give it a second chance just click the button and watch your health improve. Highly recommend all these products!.

As I’ve gotten older (I’m 42), my periods have gotten more intense: debilitating cramping, leg pains, butt lightning, nausea, dizziness. Some months, I get through with moderate cramping and pain, meaning I take only 4-5 500mg Tylenol each day, and I’m not bed ridden.

Other months, I can’t move, despite taking the max daily amount of Tylenol and the pain is so bad I’m in tears and desperate for relief. Earlier this year, I made the switch to organic period products (which I recommend because most period products have tons of harsh ingredients) and that brought major relief for several months.

I wasn’t dreading my period anymore and even my partner was amazed at how mobile I was during those months. However, that joy was short-lived, my painful periods returned and I was once again taking way too much Tylenol with ZERO relief.

My liver was inflamed and my stomach was irritated, and the side effects had started to outweigh the potential benefits. My mental health was suffering and I was seriously concerned that I wouldn’t be able to deal with my periods much longer.

We are trying for kids, so birth control isn’t an option (not to mention the impact it had on my mental health) but I started considering removing my ovaries and uterus because holding out for children just didn’t seem worth it anymore.

I came across De Lune and figured let’s do it, it can’t hurt. I took the first dose one day before my period started (I track my cycle), when I began feeling those minor cramps/pains. I continued taking it throughout my period, basically in the morning, midday and in the evening.

These pills worked. I still had to take some Tylenol at times but was able to take a really low dose that didn’t give me any side effects. There is a bit of an after taste, like when you burp but honestly it was fine, and they take about 30mins to kick in, which was faster than pain killers for me.

My period only just ended and I’ve already placed my order for next month so it’s ready on hand. I recommend DeLune for anyone who is suffering like me, and I really hope it works for you. My period pain has taken me to some dark places, but I’m truly hopeful that I’ve finally found something that works.

Thank you, De Lune!.

Cramp Aid really helps me, and I am some one with extremely painful cramps. Sometimes no medicine helps alone, but using another conventional painkiller + Cramp Aid usually helps a lot. Again, some months nothing eases the pain but I don’t feel that’s some shortcoming in Cramp Aid.

Other months Cramp Aid is enough if I time it correctly. I do notice on the following, less painful days, that Cramp Aid is all I need to take if I’ve been taking it consistently that cycle. It also seems to hit more quickly than conventional painkillers.

And I think taking it before cramps come or at the very first intuition of cramps is key to success, and because it is not a “drug” you don’t have to worry about it. I have extremely painful periods and am so happy to have this in my arsenal to survive! It definitely helps me feel confident going into the period, like I’m gonna be okay.

An essential subscription for myself.

Yo… this stuff works. I have always had bad cramps. I was on birth control for about 5 years to help my cramps for but recently stopped my birth control. I anticipated my first period after bc with much anxiety and rightly so, because my cramps were horrible — tears, ungodly amounts of Advil and naproxen, and discomfort.

In searching for solutions, I found DeLune and thought I’d give it a try! Man, am I glad I did. DeLune is a tool! It doesn’t completely take the pain away, but it makes it manageable — thanks to the anti-inflammatory properties.

Instead of hurting my stomach and chest with too much Advil, I can take a few Tylenol here and there alongside the DeLune and be pain free. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a way to make your cramps bearable in a natural, no side effects way.

i have been drinking and subscribing this tea to family and friends for years and the results are astonishing. If you drink on a constant basis with a reasonable diet you will see results!

I bought this product a few years back. Each teabag was full then. However today the teabags are half full. (So a type of con game to say your getting 18 teabags, when it would really equal 9 teabags!).

This is my favorite tea. I could drink it all day!

Twice a month my hormones go haywire with uncontrollable mood swings, suicidal ideations, debilitating depression, & more. This is even with antidepressants & birth control pills. It affects my relationships, job performance, & me.

One day I saw this at the store & decided to give it a try and I’ve been on it ever since. It is the missing link to my monthly cycle. With it I function with only mild symptoms every other week. It truly saved my life.

I am forever grateful LifeSeasons!.

I have been suffering with really bad PMDD in the last few years as my hormones have regulated after having two kids and breastfeeding. I’ve had bad cramps, mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts, feelings of rejection and horrible menstrual migraines.

This supplement, in addition to a good quality magnesium supplement, has been life changing. My mood has improved, my cramps aren’t as bad and my period doesn’t last as long. I highly recommend this supplement, it has had such a major positive impact on my life.

I love how uplifted I feel after taking this. It truly helps the time of the month go by with ease and more relaxation. What a source of comfort this is for my body aches and to soothe my muscles. I’m grateful to have found a product to support me when I’m not feeling my best and need some extra support for my mood.

I gave birth to my little one over 7 months ago. I had a water home birth. My midwife gave me orange juice with cramp bark in it throughout the active labor. This allowed me to sleep in-between contractions.

M active labor was far less painful then my inactive labor due to the cramp bark. My midwife told me to add this to my water at least once a day for cramping. My husband took care of me those first 2 weeks, and he was amazing.

He ensured I had the cramp bark and other supplements. I did not experience any cramping at all after giving birth. My menstrual cycle returned this month and I tried using the cramp bark. I usually experience labor like cramps during my period (EXCRUCIATING).

This was the first menstrual cycle that I had absolutely no stomach cramping whatsoever. I did have slight back cramps on a level of 2 or 3, but that is it. I will be using this from now on.

Even though this herb is traditionally used by women to ease cramps produced by menstruation, it has great benefits for men, too. It is beneficial for blood pressure health, heart health and muscle health.

It helps with cramps produced after exercise and in small doses prevents them before exercise and enhances performance. In regular doses, it is very relaxing and at night it helps you get a deep sleep with no morning grogginess.

It also helps with good digestion and elimination. Take as directed. Remember to do your part. Supplements just supplement.

I have been trying cramp batch for muscle cramping in my neck and back and I feel that it actually worked. So keep it on hand because I prefer nature taking care of me rather chemicals.

What a difference this product has made in my hormonal rollercoaster ride. My PMS and period have changed so much, this supplement was a game changer for me. Where have your been my whole life! This has balanced my hormones sbd moods so well, I feel semi normal during pms.

I still have symptoms but they are not nearly as bad. Plus my period symptoms have significantly been better. I loved this so much I have 2 ladies who both purchased after hearing and seeing how much better I felt.

I’m on month 6 using it and no tuning back!.

Let me share my wonderful experience. due to cloud over my head during my ovulation time, i feel like i want a magic pill. Here we go o got it. Say one more time, it’s RENEW. with in 15 minutes, i observed difference in my mood.

It uplifted my mood, my spirits, my energy levels. I became normal like how i will be in times other than my ovulation. Please go ahead and help many women who will become weak due to these hormonal changes.

i wish vali group to become huge success. these medicines are v important and affordable as well. Thanks vali!!.

Hello, I’m just about finished my first bottle of Renew and getting ready to start a 2nd. Within the month I’ve had one complete cycle, and for this first month, no it hasn’t reduced symptoms how I had hoped it would.

I still got a terrible acne breakout, bad cramps, bloating, fatigue, mood swings, hot flashes, etc throughout the cycle (as is my typical). However, I’m aware that hormone supplementation can usually take 90 days to take affect, so I’m going to take a second bottle to see how it goes.

Do not wait until the bottom of the bottle to sign up for the free bottle, apparently it will take over 2 weeks to get it so please keep that in mind.

Hi, I hope that this review helps someone. While this product may help some -it did not help me at all. Here’s a bit of background, I have terrible cramps at times & I cannot take advil &/or tylenol so I search for products like this.

Also for the record I don’t have anger issues. Ok that being said, this product did not help me in the least bit, it did not budge my pain. now for the weird part -it caused me to be irrationally angry -very.

Not only was this the only thing I took but I also was careful to only take the recommended amount. So buyer beware -try it, it may work awesome for your body, not for me though.

I have tried this product twice now. Typically I experience extremely painful cramps and bad nausea during the first day or two of my period. I normally take between 8 and 10 ibuprofen (throughout the day), which I really wanted to stop doing.

I tried this product last month and it seemed to help alleviate the pain and I ended up only taking one ibuprofen. This month, I tried it again and it completely took away the pain and I didn’t need any Advil.

It significantly helped me cut back on using as much. I will be ordering more!.

Amazing natural medicine that works. I like the packaging, easy to carry and no issues with any sides affects. They do charge shipping, be prepared for that. They take PayPal, which means you can be and pay later.

I am buying again.

I’m suffering form PMDD and this supplement helps me a lot, every month, exactly 10 days before my period I would feel a little off- depressed, always on a fight mode with my husband but since I took these pills last month was the only month we never fought.

Differently will be buying again and again. I’m so glad that I don’t feel any bad side effects too unlike other supplements which mostly make be constipated. This one- won’t. You won’t feel any bad side effects.

So thankful!.

I’m so thankful to God for guiding me to trying this product! It’s the first time I’ve ever gotten relief for my PMS or possible PMDD ( as it’s so bad during this time). I definitely will be using this everyday.

Will also surely recommend to anyone suffering with this. There’s no relief though when my cycle actually begins and the awful pains I get- have to use painkillers for that. But I’m so very grateful for the producers of this! 🙏🏻.

I am so glad fb ads helped me find this product based on searching for something for inflammation! As of 3 years ago my period changed at age 35 not sure if it was due to stress, hormones, age or what!! The pain was so unbearable for days the heating pad no longer worked for relief and I would take asprin for inflammation pain.

It would be hard to walk my dog or do things around the house and I suffered for 3 years monthly. Before finding this product I even went to see my doctor, gastrointestinal doctor, and obgyn to find a solution and run tests yet no fibroids or endometriosis was found yet no one had a definite resolution to my problem.

The obgyn only offered birth control or suppressing my hormones all together for no period at all. I talked it over with my Husband on the verge to just try something and I read the reviews on this product from others with similar discomfort and unusual situations.

I have been using the PMS jar for 3 cycles now and it definitely has produced life changing results for me! I can do more daily and only have minimal cramps. The internal gas and inflammation build up seems to controlled better + I take evening primrose supplements for hormonal balance/ progesterone levels.

I used Flo gummies for a year and they were good for moods but not inflammation. This product truly helps with all that it mentions and depending on the length of your cycle one jar can go a long way! Natural is always best! Cheers!.

For YEARS I have suffered from very debiliting period cramps. Every month I knew my period was coming, I always dreaded because I knew that I was going to be stuck at home doubled over in pain, bloated, and throwing up.

The week before my actual period I always get horrible fatigue as one of my PMS symptoms. When I first saw this supplement at Target, I thought there was no way it was going to work because nothing else ever has – but I was desperate.

The box there comes with only 8 pills so I figured it would be a good “trial run”. Not only do these pills help me significantly with my PMS symptoms, but it has reduced my period bloat to almost nothing and made my period cramps bearable.

I kept taking them for 3 months to see if they really worked or if it was just placebo. They work! I also like that I only need to take them the week before my period and during my period and not everyday all month.

These supplements have saved my life and I can’t live without them during my period! I will continue to buy these from Semaine for the rest of my life!.

I usually feel like a truck has run over me on the days leading up to, and through, my period. Semaine is great for countering my energy sag and helping me maintain a more “normal” energy cycle around period time.

The first couple of months I felt like my cramps were less intense and painful taking one dose of two pills per day, but then my cramps came roaring back with a vengeance. I tried increasing the dose (2 pills 2x a day), and while this helped a little with the pain, it boosted my energy like three espressos.

I couldn’t sleep. So I could not continue increasing the dosage. I use this now mainly to help boost my energy levels leading up to my period, and for that, it’s great. However, I have not had success with the supplement helping to alleviate period pain and cramps.

I would recommend this for energy, but not for painful periods. The green tea component in these supplements will keep you from sleeping if you take up to the eight pills a day recommendation for bad cramps!.

I was nervous about taking these at first. I take a stimulant for ADHD and an Antidepressant for depression / mood swings so I wasn’t sure how it would interact. PMDD brings an entire separate set of issues though— mostly in the form of intense back and stomach pain, zero motivation, and constant aggravation.

I waited until the second day of PMDD to see if I could tell a difference between taking the pill and not, and let me tell you, there is a HUGE difference. Plus, I felt no interactions between the Stimulant and Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitor.

I don’t write reviews, but this product deserves one big time. PMDD ADHD makes finding the motivation to complete work or even get out of bed nearly impossible. However, this pill took away some of my PMDD symptoms and definitely muted the rest.

It allowed me to forget my pain, lack of motivation, and random intense mood swings enough for me to happily be around family, study for finals, finish a project for work, and write a five page paper.

I’m not sure what on earth is in there, but I’m certainly buying this again. I HIGHLY recommend!.

This oil is incredibly helpful for my very painful periods. The scent is great too!! I only wish it was still called Moon Cycle rather than period. Pulling out an oil called Moon Cycle is much more discreet than advertising to everyone around me that I have my period.

It’s just something I’d rather keep private. Other than that, it’s a wonderful product! But put the name back please!.

This roll-on is a “must” for me every month. The cramps disappear and my body feels so much better when I use this. The yummy smell is super soothing and adds to the comfort. Thank you, Saje!

I have the peppermint halo and pain release oil blends and they are truly great. When I saw a period oil I needed to buy it. I get bad cramps and this oil really really helps. It is so worth it and I have also layered both the period and pain release oils for major relief.

My daughter uses this and she tells me all the time how well it works for her. She has cramps and headaches and this takes both away in one dose. I am so thankful that the off brand works just as well for her as the brand name.

The cost savings is worth it to us as well as the relief she gets.

I got these because they were cheaper than the name brand ones but tbh they worked perfectly !! My cramps were gone within less than 30 minutes! I even take them for headaches if I need a caffeine l lift!!.

Just as good as any name brand like Midol or whatever. I personally get really bad cramps so these are a must have for me.
