Cannabis tampons: menstrual cramps disappear in 20 minutes

Many positive reviews highlight the effectiveness of the latest trendy pain reliever to relieve painful periods. Rather than sticking to Advil or Nurofen, many American women have chosen to turn to cannabis tampons, marketed by Foria, a company that distributes all kinds of cannabis-infused products, including lubricant.

According to several reviews, both cramps and lower back pain were relieved by this new product, which is administered as a suppository. The tampons are not psychoactive. They just relieve pain, without causing any "high.".

These tampons have not yet been approved by the FDA, the U.S. consumer protection agency. However, numerous online reviews attest that Foria products have helped manage this pain and lasted longer than traditional pain relievers.

A woman reports in Broadly that his cramps would go away within 20 minutes.

«I have some’endometriosis »which came back after a partial hysterectomy,« notes one user. »When I have my periods, in addition to excruciating pain, I look pregnant, and the inflammation affects my bladder. Foria is one of the few things that brings me relief!".

A pack of 4 stamps costs 44$.

«Cannabis has long been used for its natural benefits in managing menstrual symptoms » notes the Foria website. «Our goal is to share the powerful medicinal properties of this plant by using modern extraction techniques to standardize its purity and potency, ensuring a safe and accessible experience for all women.».

Cannabis balms are made from cocoa butter mixed with distilled THC oil and a CBD extract derived from organic hemp.

The vaginal walls absorb the medication directly into the bloodstream. The cannabinoids are then thought to soothe the nerves in the uterus, cervix, and ovaries to block pain and relax the muscles.

These patches are currently available only in California and Colorado, and patients must have a medical cannabis card as well as a prescription from their doctor.
