THIS IS AMAZING FOR MENSTRUAL CRAMPS. It works faster than popping some Advil for me.
Now, the dosage and how to take it.
Dosage: Take 20-30 drops as needed, in juice or tea. You CAN take under your tongue if you want. It is just easier to get down when putting in juice. This is a formula that I take only as needed. If you want one to balance your hormones, the menopause formula can do that (I am bad at naming, that one is really more of a balancing female hormones formula, great for menopause or just hormones in general for women)..
Why are tinctures a preferred method of taking herbs? Because tinctures are potent! You don’t waste your money on pills that have been in the manufacturing process for months / years and lose potency! With an alcohol base, the tinctures pull out all the medicinal benefits of the plant, and preserve them naturally for you! They don’t lose potency over time. If you forget about this formula in your cupboard and find it in 5 years, you can still take it! It will still be potent! Isn't that cool?
A question I get asked a lot is about the dosage for kids or babies. This is one formula you probably don't want to give to babies or kids. For teenagers who are dealing with menstrual cramps, this would be great. Give them the regular dose, same as an adult.
Now, the ingredients.
Black Cohosh: Musculoskeletal, respiratory, and female reproductive systems. The anti-spasmodic and analgesic actions on the female reproductive system make it useful for treating spasmodic dysmenorrhea or any spasm or tension of the female organs. Has been researched and utilized extensively in the management of menopausal symptoms.

Relieves dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain (e.g. menstrual clots, uterine fibroids, endometriosis), amenorrhea, PMS, menopausal symptoms and infertility. Thought to “lessen pelvic congestion”, and relieve pain from obstructed blood stasis, also acting as a mild laxative.
Oat Straw: Nutritive; Taken over time will increase one’s stamina and strength. Will “feed” the nervous system especially when under stress, and is specific in cases of nervous debility and exhaustion, especially when associated with depression, insomnia, and “weakness of the nerves”. Has been given to help with addiction withdrawals (e.g. opium, tobacco).Considered to also have antispasmodic, demulcent, diuretic, and vulnerary actions and is useful in rheumatic conditions. Often used in baths as an emollient and to treat insomnia and anxiety as well as in a variety of skin conditions, including burns and eczema.

Topically is is wound healing and a mild anesthetic useful for rheumatic & muscular pains and neuralgia.
Motherwort: Is most indicated in nervous debility with irritation and unrest.
