I don't know how good is the HERB PAD that you want to buy. What is the cost and how to benefit you. Anyway, did you heard about magnetic pad?
Did you know what is Magnet Therapy? Magnet Therapy can give you better blood circulation and get better health.
How They Work
Magnetism is created primarily by the spin of electrons within a substance. If the spin of sufficient numbers of electrons is aligned, the substance becomes magnetic. Although iron is readily magnetized because of its many surplus electrons, virtually all substances can be magnetized. Natural magnets – lodestones - were created when iron-containing lava cooled and was magnetized by Earth’s magnetic field.
Most magnets are now made by passing a strong surge of direct-current (DC) electricity through an iron bar. Their strength has been greatly increased by combining iron with other elements.
Therapeutic Uses
Magnets are available in a wide-range of materials, strengths, and shapes: tiny BB-size used by acupuncturists, dime-size, neodymium (a rare-earth metal) of extraordinary power, domino, rectangular block, and flexible magnets of any size and shape. Therapeutic magnets are often cased in ceramic or embedded in an elastic patch or flexible strip. They are incorporated in wrist and back supports, seat and mattress pads, jewelry, and clothing-related items, such as shoe inserts and belts.
Many medical applications and scientific studies have used pulsed electromagnetic fields. In these fields, the electric current generating the magnetic field is turned on and off at a specified frequency.
Because magnetic fields drop off quickly with distance, the closer the magnet is to the skin the better. Although effectiveness may wear off as the body adapts, magnets may be worn as long as desired.
How Magnets Affect the Body
Although not exactly sure how, scientists believe that magnetic fields perturb the body’s own magnetic energy, which, in turn, triggers more conventional biochemical and physiological mechanisms. Magnetic fields:
· Increase blood flow, bringing in more oxygen and nutrients, and flushing away waste products.
· Modulate calcium flow through the body, which is essential to many physiological processes. Magnetic fields can attract calcium ions to heal a broken bone or help move calcium away from painful arthritic joints.
· Alter the acidity or alkalinity of body fluids, which are often out of balance with illness;
· Affect hormone production (including those of the brain’s all-important pineal gland), which initiates a cascade of biological effects.
· Alter enzyme activity and other biochemical processes, such as the production of ATP, a molecule that provides cellular fuel for the entire body.
· Stimulate electromagnetic energy flow through acupuncture meridians.
· Alter cell chromosome alignment.
Healing Applications
People have used magnetic therapy to treat many ailments. In Healing with Magnets, Gary Null provides an extensive list of not only these ailments but also supporting scientific studies. General uses include relief of pain and discomfort, reduction of inflammation, improved circulation, the ability to fight infections, reduction of stress, sleep promotion, correction of various central nervous system disorders, overall energy enhancement, acceleration of healing (especially bone fractures), and athletic performance enhancement.
Because paralysis aggravates many ailments amenable to magnetic therapy, it may be especially relevant for people with spinal cord dysfunction (SCD). Studies have shown that magnetic therapy is effective in controlling pain, enhancing circulation, promoting wound healing, reducing carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
I do have some alternative medication (nutritional supplement & magnetic therapies) may help on blood circulation, prevention and maintaining good health. I can recommend some if you need it. It is safe and natural. you can email me to know more. Or meet up to have a free body check up to know your health status.

Well, if it is available to you it can't hurt to try it out. I wouldn't believe it can relieve cramps and things as it is sitting on the outside of your body, but if the herbs smell, it can probably cover up the smell of menstruation.
I don't think this is available in America/Canada yet...
