A member asked:

Does mustard really help menstrual cramps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No medical proof...: There are "ancient" home remedies that suggest that mustard or vinegar can help menstrual cramps... there is no medical research to back this up. Not saying it doesn't help, but the best way to figure it out for yourself it to try it I would say...
