Cramp Butter

(formerly called moontime) 

I formulated this salve because I wanted to create something that specifically targeted menstrual cramps, along with the general aches, pains + bloating that can unfortunately come along with our cycle (this includes PMS symptoms). As someone who has had painful menstrual cramps, I knew that if I could create something that helped me, then it would help others. This also works wonders for postpartum cramps!  

This balm is double infused with pain-reducing, anti-inflammatory, and muscle relaxing herbs. It has a mild cooling effect which helps with pain quickly. 

All organic/wild ingredients: cramp bark, ginger root, cinnamon, arnica flowers, white willow bark, catnip, motherwort, nettle + raspberry leaf, local beeswax & essential oils of geranium, chamomile, clary sage, lavender, rosemary, spearmint + ginger

To use: Simply rub this salve all over your abdomen + lower back. I like to apply it before my cramps arrive to stop them from happening. I find that this salve is even more effective when applied right before using a hot water bottle on the area. The heat drives the oils deep into your skin and allows them to work even more effectively.
