[EllaC]

Can't remember where I read that, have been looking over this site trying to find the reference. I am sure some ladies have remarked that the cramps almost completely went away, but can't remember the exact conditions. So that's why I decided to ask here.

Thanks for your response. You said the tea by itself won't be enough so add evening primrose oil. I guess that comes in pill form to be swallowed. I hope the pills are small, she hates large pills and says she chokes on them. Or can the oil be added straight to the tea? Does she need to take this every day or just during her period?

JAmes EPO pills in my country are large but I see no reason to pin prick them (drain in a liquid she can tolerate) and take during her troublesome times of period only. I know omega 3s thin the blood and learned the hard way not to take during your cycle so I suspect omega 6 may not have that blood thinning effect?? (But I can’t confirm) Also fwiw if I take anything estrogen promoting during my cycle the blood flow is worse . I know it’s no joke the heavy flow and for me personally the heavy cramps accompany my worst heaviest days and I’m supposed to be on intravenous iron I’m that bad so worth consultation. I hope she finds relief. My daughter is of the age she will  start soon too....Cramps very bad can be endometriosis to so avoid anything estrogen. Just 2cescents worth and unproffesional at that xx
