Who would think that something topical could really help cramps? I didn't! I grew up depending on Midol and painkillers to address serious menstrual pain, and then after overhauling a lot of habits when I hit 30, I turned to natural remedies instead.

The recipe was inspired by my partner, who made my cramps look like a day at the beach. She used to have to spend at least one day/month completely out of commission because of cramps and she had tried EVERYTHING.

I was working at an herb shop and thought "What the heck, I'll mix up some antispasmodic herbs and oils and see what happens- It can't hurt." Taking some of the beautiful herbs that help cramps as a tea/tincture (motherwort, crampbark, raspberry leaf, ginger, rosehips, lavender, and more), I mixed them into a coconut oil concoction to gather their energy, made a wish, and then added essential oils that relieve tight muscles. A dash of arnica infused oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, and wha la!

Here's the best part: IT WORKED for my partner. As soon as the cramps started to flare up, she laid down and massaged the potion into her womb/lower abdomen and THEY WENT AWAY. So, tested and approved by one serious cramping babe. I was skeptical of my own creation, but the topical application is the real deal.

Since releasing the our Cramp Balm, dozens of folks have told us how effective it was for them. We'd love to hear your feedback too!
