menstrual cramps

Ginseng was discovered more than 5000 years ago in the mountains of Manchuria, China. The name is derived from the Chinese word “jen” meaning the form of man and “shen” defined as the crystallization of the essence of the earth.  However, this ancient herb was used approximately the same time in North America by many of the tribes there, though the European invaders did not know of its existence until the 16^th century.

Do you or a woman you know suffer from severe premenstrual pain? Water retention, lower back pain, mood swings, constipation, headaches? PMS can feel challenging because it affects our bodies physically and then it even affects us emotionally. I find when I have PMS, I have to cut back on my workload, make time for yoga and acupressure, and just basically give myself a break.
