Gingerroot tea can relieve menstrual cramps. Simmer handful gingerroot, cut in slices for 15 minutes. Let it cool to drink later.

I found that the best way is to be as healthly as possible throughout the month the less toxins go in the less the nasty symptoms. I found eating lots of raw carrots and salads helped a lot. Also when you get cramps rest really helps, even if it's just lying down for 30 minutes.
