Maca root from Peru is said to get hormones in balance and alleviate period problems and pains. Like anything, it's best organic with no preservatives. also, if it's in capsule form, a capsule made from veggie cellulose is the best imo. I think I got mine from Sun foods. I don't have period problems or I would tell you if it works. Health Question & Answer
I was told that lack of salt in the body could be the cause of cramps so occasional consumption of preserved figs or salt-coated nuts may be helpful. However, if your friend would like to try this simple technique which works for me as well as those I have asked to try it; then all that is required is to say "relax" to the part of the body that is suffering the cramp. A fully relaxed muscle will not get cramped so it is best to practice relaxing the muscles of the leg for instance before the onset and like a miracle the oncoming cramp, like a huge wave, will pass by, followed by great relief. There is nothing to lose in trying it so please do. Health Question & Answer
