Interesting, I've had good sucess with blackberry leaf, catnip and/or ground
ivy and ginger, but of course, everybody's a little different. Could the red
raspberry leaf and blackberry leaf have similar constituients? Aside from
tannins I don't know, I just know it works. While I know you won't believe
this, my wife's cramps were so bad I felt them, and this mix taken hot helped
a lot. Please don't tell her Evening Primrose is just for PMS... it's
eliminated her cramps too, or at least been part of the solution.

We've had great sucess with herbs, proper eating (which most women, especially
teenaged ones don't do enough of) and massage

I personally am not offended by any information. I was floored when I found
M.D.'s aren't required to know anything about nutrition, and find I'm less
likely to see one after ours discounted B-6 as being a help in carpel
tunnel... but he DOES have these nifty muscle relaxants..... Yea... right...

Keeping my soapbox in good repair
