To go along with my Raw journey - I just decided that after almost 14yrs of being on the depo shot for birth control that I wanted to switch to a non-hormonal method......

Which leads me to today: I got a paragard IUD inserted about 3hrs ago - I felt fine then, but now the cramps are starting to kick in. I haven't had a period in 3-4yrs - so having cramps is all new to me again. :eek:

My question is: Do you have any natural remedies to help alleviate the cramping - anything from food - to tea - to whatever else you found that works for you?

Thanks~

I think I figured some things out on my own:

White willow bark supplement
Heating pad
Peppermint/ginger tea
Calcium/magnesium supplement
