What are menstrual cramps?

Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) are discomforts around menstruation. Many seek medical advice in addition to everyday routines – warmth, light exercise, rest, and gentle herbs are often part of it.

Realistic Expectation: Herbs can supplement routines – they do not replace medical diagnosis or therapy.
