I discovered this years ago from my chiropractor, we lose more magnesium when we menstruate. All you need to do is take a dose of magnesium powder and within 20 minutes the cramps should dissipate. Magnesium also helps lots of other things too and is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Here is some more info on benefits and choosing a supplement http://goodfoodeating.org/844/best-magnesium-supplement/

I had no idea that turmeric was such a versatile and helpful spice. Since turmeric is an anti-inflammatory, does it help with menstrual cramps? My sister gets really bad ones, and most things don’t really help.
