If you’ve ever suffered from period pain, you’ll be familiar with the old hot water bottle, tea and painkiller struggle which often still doesn’t bring relief. Well, it turns out there’s a certain herb that may help provide real relief.
Uzara, a traditional African herb, is already known as an effective relief for symptoms of diarrhoea. However, there is also research indicating Uzara may alleviate Dysmenorrhea, (the fancy term for menstrual cramps).
The preliminary study evaluated the efficacy and safety of Uzara as a relief for moderate and severe primary dysmenorrhea in comparison to ibuprofen. The results show that the root extract might be as effective as ibuprofen in the management of primary dysmenorrhea.
In normal speak, this basically means that the next time that time of the month comes around, you can toss away that microwavable teddy bear in favour of this magical herb, which should already be in your medicine cabinet for its stomach pain relieving benefits.
Look out for Releaf Truzara, a herbal supplement considered to help relieve symptoms of diarrhoea by reducing bowel mobility, and easing gastric-related stomach cramps because of its antispasmodic properties.
