Hey

If you have menstrual cramps, you understand that ignoring them just isn’t an option! 

I remember I couldn’t survive my period without popping painkiller after painkiller.

Sure - they can help temporarily alleviate cramps, but they aren’t without their side effects. 

Medication such as Ibuprofen, Advil & Aleve - when used regularly each month over time can suppress ovulation & cause lower progesterone - making period problems & irregularities even worse! 

Since you’re here - I suspect you’re looking for more than just a “pill for every ill" 👏 

I want you to know that you can treat period pain naturally through food, herbs & lifestyle strategies so that you’re not suffering every month. 

Using herbal medicine is one of my FAVOURITE ways to support the body in relieving period pain.

It’s what inspired me to create My Moonbox product range. 

Below are some of my favourite research-supported, and traditional herbs for menstrual pain.

These are gentle, safe, effective & have been used for hundreds of years in some cultures...

Turmeric 

I know you've heard it about turmeric a billion times but have you given it a real go?! There are great studies about the benefits of turmeric for period pain. This powerhouse has been shown to be more effective than NSAIDs against period cramps. It helps relax your muscles & prevent painful uterus contractions. 

Ginger 

Anti-inflammatory ginger has also been shown to work just as effectively as ibuprofen to treat period pain. It’s also helpful for nausea, vomiting & bloating associated with period onset. 

Cinnamon 

Studies have demonstrated that consuming cinnamon in the week leading up to, and the first 3 days of your menstrual cycle can reduce menstrual pain, nausea & vomiting. This is also an excellent herb for heavy or excessive bleeding, and PMS as it helps stabilise blood sugar levels. 

Cramp Bark 

Cramp Bark's name comes from its use as an effective pain treatment for period cramps. Research indicates that cramp bark helps relax muscles & blood vessels in the uterus which helps relieve pain.

Raspberry leaf

Raspberry leaf tea is a well known all-round uterine tonic! It helps to reduce muscle spasms that can cause painful cramps & nausea! 

The key to getting THE MOST RELIEF out of these herbs is to ensure you’re consuming herbs that are of the highest quality & are certified ORGANIC. 

Buy the cheapest option in the supermarket? And it's NOT going to do much for you. 

You’ll find these recommended herbs in our Luna’s Gold Latte - all certified organic, of the highest quality & bioavailability. 

Drink a DELICIOUS Luna’s Gold a day throughout the entire month, to keep those cramps away. 

Plus you’ll find raspberry leaf & cramp bark in our best-selling New Moon Tea! Consume this tea in the week before & during your period!
