Relieve Menstrual Pain With Herbal Remedies

Across the world, women have developed their own ways of caring for themselves during menstruation.

Relieve Menstrual Pain With Herbal Remedies brings together more than 20 traditional practices from five continents, from Khamaré infusions in Africa and shiso tea in Japan to Mexican sobada massage and Ayurvedic sesame oil preparations.

Some involve plants, others massage, oils, warm preparations or rituals passed between generations. Each one is presented with its cultural context and practical preparation.

The book is less about offering a single answer than about documenting the many ways women have understood and cared for menstrual discomfort across cultures.
