Yarrow flowers will flat-out kill menstrual cramps. Don't use the leaves for tea, as they cause weird dreams for some people and are better for external use (wound healing, for example). Also, if you're pregnant and want to stay pregnant, DO NOT drink yarrow tea -- the Paiute Indians used yarrow tea to cause a miscarriage.

Caution: this is a strong herb. You may well notice a faster and stronger flow (but without pain!) if you drink a lot of the tea. Four or five small flowers will make a big pot of tea, and a cup is usually enough. It can be a little bitter (though some people don't think so) so you might want to add honey.

Yarrow grows wild [photo] but you can also buy it online or from a garden center or herb store.
