Remedy
Cramps (belly or monthly)
Heat, chamomile or catnip, a walk. Yarrow tea is an old monthly herb — not if they could be pregnant.
A sudden worst-ever belly pain, or monthly bleeding that soaks a rag an hour for hours, is not tea.
Do this
- 1.Hot water bottle or a warm pot wrapped in cloth on the belly.
- 2.Chamomile or catnip tea.
- 3.Yarrow only if pregnancy is not on the table and they already know the plant.
Recipes
