Sorry, guys, us ladies got some problems to discuss. At times in my life, I have had period cramps that made it feel as though my body was actually trying to turn itself inside out - as though thats a thing. Back when Wegmans (grocery store) used to have a legit homeopathic section, I told some hippie woman that worked there my problem. She gave me this. I honestly wish I knew who she was because I am indebted. This stuff did what prescription painkillers could not. Now, about 15 years later, Ive gone back to this solution maybe 8-10x. Whenever this becomes a problem for me, I buy this stuff and it works. For any poor lady suffering from this problem, I just want to be clear - I typically use this in combination with: (1) Magnesium (250mg), (2) Aleve (aka: naproxen) (440mg) and (3) ThermaCare Heatwraps - Menstrual Pain Therapy. These three in addition to the Pulsatilla have given me my life & my sanity back many, many times. This combination may or may not work for you - but keep trying! Every body is different. Whatever youre taking this for, I hope you feel better.
