Painful cramps and bloating during menstruation, according to Ayurveda, are an expression of aggravated Vata dosha. Vata gets stuck and does not move down and out properly (which is why the cramps subside somewhat when bleeding gets going). The cramp balm can be applied generously to the lower abdomen in clockwise circles as soon as signs of menstruation appear, to provide warming relief. The herbs ginger, gokshura and fenugreek have been chosen for their ability to help Vata dosha flow properly in a downwards direction, and shatavari for its rejuvenative effect on the reproductive system.
