Using Livia has definitely been very helpful in reducing the feeling of nausea and cramping side effects from my period. It does not totally erase my cramps and back pain but it definitely dims it down a good bit. I'm the kind of person that would rather cramp and cry in bed all while feeling nauseous, but when I use my Livia I am able to function a bit better than my average cycle days. Give it a try, see if it's right for you!
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
