Gosh! Not again!
I woke up this morning feeling nauseated, weak and depressed because my 'red lady' came visiting. Thoughts of resorting to pain relieving drugs was the last thing on my mind because as an ardent advocate for mother nature, I believe that the balance I needed was in an organic plant; I quickly reach out for it from a nearby vegetable store.
Though still in pains, I was really uncomfortable then I made my way to the kitchen, put a little water on fire to boil while I sliced the miraculous plant and added to the boiling water. In a few minute, my fresh ginger tea was served. I now believed in the crushing powers of menstrual cramps by Ginger
