I suggest drinking the Moon Cycle Bliss Cramp-ease Tea in conjunction with this tincture. I have left Raspberry Leaf and Calendula out of the tincture so that you can take these lovely herbs in the form of the tea. Raspberry Leaf is an excellent uterine tonic and a boon for all women of child-bearing age and beyond. Calendula is anti-inflammatory and lymphatic and seems to reduce the congestion that contributes to painful period cramps. Drink the tea from a few days before you expect your bleed, until the end of bleeding. In addition, use the Cramp-ease Tincture on the days of strong cramping.
