A study published in the journal Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice reported that a plant called Teucrium polium (felty germander) may help ease the pain caused by primary dysmenorrhea. The researchers noted that this marks the first time that T. polium was used for pain relief in individuals with the condition.
The research team concluded that T. polium can be used as a natural alternative for mefenamic acid and that it can help reduce the pain caused by primary dysmenorrhea.
