Chinese herbs have been found more effective that standard drugs when it comes to the pain related with monthly menstruation, according to a new piece of research from Australia.

In fact, Chinese herbs may be more effective than even acupuncture or heat compression, as the study involving 3,500 women showed.

The end aftereffect included the researchers stating that Chinese herbs had “overall superiority” compared to other treatments, which included placebos (no treatment), NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), OCPs (oral contraceptive pill), acupuncture and heat compression.

I know many public who are huge fans of Chinese herbs (search for TCM on Wikipedia) for everything from

colds to canker sores. Perhaps menstrual pain can be added to that list now. What do you think?
