I’m going to jump straight in and get to the nitty gritty details. Ever since I started the dreaded period ~ at around 13, I have suffered with crippling period cramps and generally I’m out of action for at least a day or two. I spent days at home doubled over in pain not being able to go to to school, it was awful.
My Dr at the time prescribed me the contraceptive pill to help with my periods, this worked for a while, but inevitability the pain and cramps came back, I’m now 34 and still suffer with pain and cramps during my period ~ and the odd craving if chocolate!
Over the years I have tried many treatments for the painful cramps from pills to water bottles, but nothing seems to last more than a few hours.
does it work?
Recently I have had the pleasure of trying the OurRemedy CBD Oil for my period cramps and I am delighted to report that not only am I able to function on the worst days of my period (first and second days) but the pain and cramps have lessened tenfold, which for me, has been an absolute game changer. I’m actually able to walk about and work without forcing myself and being in pain. I’m currently using CBD oil every evening for sleep problems anyway, but never thought about it for period cramps, it makes sense really doesn’t it?
If you find yourself like me, suffering each month with debilitating period cramps, it’s definitely worth giving OurRemedy CBD oil a try, you have nothing to loose and it can also be used for anxiety, sleep and chronic pain, so once your period is over you can still reap the benefits!
As you know I am a huge advocate for CBD ~ You just need to check out my CBD page to see how much it has helped me, so I’m always happy to recommend a new brand.
about BeYou cbd
OurRemedy CBD is a broad spectrum (put simply it means CBD isolates only contain some of the cannabinoids present in the hemp plant) Oil which is also vegan, cruelty Free, THC Free, which is what really draws me in. I’m awful at taking tablets so this works really well for me.
how to use
To use the oil, you simply just drop 5-10 drops under your tongue, leave for 1 minutes and you are done, no nasty tablets to contend with and the taste is rather pleasant ~ a hint of peppermint and not at all herby and strong like some CBD Oils. What I will say is it is a little bit of trial and error, you need to try different doses and see what works for you best. I suggest using the CBD oil all month long to get the best results for your period comes around.
giving back
I have to mention this incentive, as it is incredible ~ OurRemedy offer plastic free re-fills. If you have already purchased OurRemedy CBD Oil and have the plastic dropper, keep hold of it and order OurRemedy with an aluminium cap and get £5 off your order. For every full price bottle sold OurRemedy are donating to Bloody Good Period, a period poverty charity ~ I love this idea, it’s great to know a brand really a cares and looks after not only their customers, but gives back to charities too.
price
The 500mg/5% oil is £31.99 and if you are reordering with the aluminium cap you receive the £5 off which works out are £26.99 which is a great price to pay for pain free periods.

I absolutely LOVE CBD oil, both orally and for topical use. I too suffer from horrendous period cramps where I’m up almost all night or wake up early morning unable to go to sleep. I need to utilize CBD oil on a daily to see if it works for next cycle. Great read! 😊
Yay same, I love it! I use it in my skincare too, it’s the best, I really hate taking tablets so it’s a great natural alternative! Has definitely helped with my cramps, sleep and anxiety. Glad it’s worked for you too, that’s awesome to hear.
Fantastic!!! I know a few people that use CBD oil and have amazing results im so pleased for you that you have managed to tackle your period pain. I must ask though, has the pain ever been investigated? It sounds like you were really suffering and maybe there’s something more they could do. 🙁
CBD sounds like it would be amazing for my condition but its so expensive when you’re a student. Maybe one day I can experiment with whether it will work for me.

It’s definitely worth experimenting with, I love it! I actually haven’t had it investigated. This is something I need to do! I have terrible anxiety and paranoia when I’m on my period too, it’s awful & I dread it!
Xx
Ooh I found this really interesting to read – thank you for sharing! I have been toying with he idea of trying CBD oil for my period pains, but I guess I’m little a little anxious about trying it yet. Love the giving back incentive too.

I actually love using CDB oil. I use it for my muscles when I am sore and using them for your period pain is definitely helpful!
It’s incredible isn’t it, I use it daily for anxiety and sleep. It helps a lot! And love that it is natural too.
I love CBD oil, but I never thought to use it for cramps! Also, that’s so exciting that the company has a plastic-free option. Love it!
Such a fab company! I’ve been using it everyday and it’s so good. Need to get another bottle now haha.
I’m very pro of CBD and it also helps me both from my period pain and whenever I’m having trouble sleeping like you mention on this post it’s a life-changer. I’m glad that the stigma is breaking since CBD is super helpful for many things.

It’s incredible isn’t it, I love it and use it everyday.
I swear by CBD products, I use oil every day for anxiety, addiction and general wellness. The skincare products are amazing. For anyone wanting to try it I recommend!
Hi so I have endemetriosis, cysts and fibroids. My level of pain the first day of my menstrual cycle is a 9 out of 10 and I am not exaggerating for I have a high pain tolerance. It’s debilitating and I cannot even move let alone walk the entire first day which causes problem for me having two jobs and a full time student schedule. I am sober so cannot use thc products, but need a high quality cbd. Can anyone lead me in the direction of high quality cbd and the form of use that will help the most? Thanks in advance
CBD from my VAAY is great! X
