Herbs for period pain

Question

Are there any Chinese medicine/ alternative medicine that you would recommend to ease period pain?

Answer

A common cause of menstrual pain is blood and qi stagnation, so herbs that help the blood and qi to flow more smoothly often reduce cramping.

Free Easy Wanderer formula can help promote smooth flow of liver qi stagnation and formulas with dan shen can also be helpful.

Master herbalist John Fung has very effective formula and information on his YouTube video about menstrual irregularity. He lists all the ingredients in his formula on that site:  A naturopath’s guide to addressing period pain
