A few years into menstruation I remember going to a doctor, which I rarely do since I utilize natural remedies, and I told them I have severe period cramps and I needed to know how to stop having cramps during my period as fast as possible. The answer: birth control.
As I listened to my Grams and realized how vividly she remembered and could almost feel a pain she hasn't had for around 30 years it confirmed what a painful experience PMS, menstrual cramps and the other symptoms many of us suffer from each and every month really are.
