For some women, menstrual cramps are severe enough to cause suffering and disrupt normal life for a couple of days every month. Cannabis can help get rid of this dull throbbing pain thanks to its relaxing and pain-relieving properties. It can also help with other symptoms related to PMS, such as nausea or headaches. The best type of cannabis to relieve cramps is the body-oriented Indica plus many Indica-dominant hybrids, but certain Sativas can also be helpful, provided they are rich in THC. Sativas let you medicate during the day, leaving you active and functional. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, CBD also has the potential to ease menstrual cramps, so hefty levels of CBD are another sign that a certain strain is great for period cramps.
