10 Home Remedies For Cramps
Home Remedy #10: Chaste Tree
Chaste tree, or chasteberry, is also known as cloister pepper, hemp tree, or monk’s pepper. It is a shrub scientifically known as Vitex agnus-castus. The dried leaves and fruit are used in traditional medicine. Since it contains progestins, iridoids, and flavonoids, it may have the potential to ease menstrual cramps.
Scientifically, there has been little to no high-quality evidence that proves its efficacy. Besides the alleviation of menstrual cramps, it is also believed to be beneficial for those experiencing menopausal issues, painful breasts, and uterine fibroid cysts. It may also help increase the production of breast milk.
