Honestly I was so skeptical because I tried so many things already - mefenamic acid, hot pack, jamu, you name it. My period cramps are the type where I cannot go to work, sometimes vomit also. My cousin recommended Bloom and I told her ya whatever. But after 2 cycles taking it consistently, my last period I only felt mild discomfort on day 1. No painkillers needed!! I really never thought this was possible for me.
