Hot towels, homeopathy, essential oils—have you tried every remedy for menstrual cramps? There's a promising new option: artisanal chocolate. Specifically, Frauenmond ("The Moon of Women"), crafted by Swiss chocolatier Marc Widmer of Chocolate with Love.
Three years ago, Widmer collaborated with a phytotherapist to develop this unique formula. It features 60% cocoa blended with 17 herbs sourced from the Swiss Alps. The combination of chocolate's theobromine and serotonin-boosting properties with these herbs aims to calm the body and soothe period pain.
To bring this innovative chocolate to a wider audience, Widmer launched a successful crowdfunding campaign. It's now available directly from the Chocolate with Love website for about €12 per tablet. A small price for potential relief—try it and see.
