Not sure if it works for everyone, but I have EXTREMELY severe cramps and I have tried almost everything. I can't take Midol because my body is too sensitive to the caffeine in it 😭... however my mom is really into essential oils, which I thought was a total load of crap. But she bought me  Dragon Time bath and shower gel to use during that time of the month to help relieve stress and cramps and IT WORKS!!!!! Girls you have no idea how thankful I am for this stuff 😅 please try it if you can't find something that works for you, it's amazing. Men can use it also to relieve stress, but I just take a hot bath and pour some in and close the curtain so the steam with the oil comes up and I can get more out of it.
