Crampbark (Viburnum opulus): Crampbark is very useful for cramps and the discomfort of menstruation, as well as other uterine problems. Spearmint (Mentha ssp.): Acts as a calmative and tastes great. Valerian rt..(Valeriana officinalis): Is used for menstrual cramps and pain relief. Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata): Is a mild sedative and antispasmodic Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus): Is an important woman’s herb in that it seems to regulate the menstrual cycle. It is also useful for the symptoms of PMS as well as menopause. Marshmallow rt. (Althaea officinalis): Is useful for inflammation and irritation in the pelvic region. Ginger root (Zingiber officinale): (You add to the blend) Ginger acts as a stimulant and warming agent. I find it best to use the fresh root, as the dried root changes it’s energy from warm to HOT. The taste will be very different. Licorice rt. (Glycyrrhiza uralensis): Harmonizes the action of the herbs.
