Dealing with debilitating period symptoms each cycle?
Is The Hype For This New “Upgraded Painkiller” Justified?
If You Struggle With Unbearable Period Pain - Here's Why...
Caroline Robertson, naturopath with over 35 years of experience, shares the misunderstood reasons behind crippling period symptoms that leave so many women feeling helpless. Most importantly, she’ll share a safe, natural solution to help you break free from the monthly agony and reclaim control of your life.
Learn why your period symptoms are so unbearable. Why traditional pain relief doesn’t work for you. - And how to target the cause for lasting, natural relief.
Taking the Pain Out of Period Pain
“Why am I cursed with these cramps every month?”
One of my patients exclaimed in a defeated tone. Sadly, she’s not alone. If you’ve ever found yourself curled up in agony, unable to stand upright, and dreading that time of the month, you know exactly how she feels.As a Naturopath specialising in women’s health for 35 years, I’ve seen how dysmenorrhoea (severe period pain) can take over a woman’s life. Because it’s not just a couple of bad days - it’s intense physical pain, emotional strain, and a constant reminder that your body feels out of control - all of which can last for weeks!My patient Chloe for example, relied on painkillers to get through her day, but the more she depended on them, the more worried she became:


“I don’t want to create more problems from taking pills… I’d rather get natural relief.”
You and Chloe are not alone, many women feel trapped - caught in a cycle of pain, fear, and frustration as nothing seems to help those intense period symptoms.
Some endure nausea, faintness, or repeated hospitalisations before getting a diagnosis to their problems. For my client Rose, it was endometriosis - a condition affecting 190 million women worldwide. For some sufferers, it's adenomyosis, fibroids, or PCOS. But for most, they don’t know what’s the true cause behind their misery. All they know is that no matter what they try, it never seems to work!
So what could it be?
The Common Thread: Inflammation
Across all these conditions and the intense symptoms that follow, one factor stands out: inflammation. When your body’s inflammatory response skyrockets around your cycle, it triggers unbearable cramps and other debilitating symptoms.
The good news? Reducing inflammation often reduces pain. Accepting that inflammation plays a critical role is empowering - it means your body isn’t broken. There’s a treatable cause behind the suffering.
Why Inflammation Happens
During your cycle, your body produces prostaglandins to help shed the uterine lining. But when inflammation is heightened, these substances can spiral out of control, causing severe cramps. Stress, poor gut health, processed foods, and conditions like endometriosis only fuel this loop: more inflammation, more pain, more stress.
Having worked with hundreds of women, one thing is clear: calming the inflammation in your body can bring genuine, lasting relief.


You Don't Need Another Quick Fix
- Not Comprehensive: They mute pain but don’t address other - just as debilitating - symptoms like bloating, mood swings, or fatigue.
- Side Effects: Use of painkillers like ibuprofen come with a bunch of side effects, ranging from nausea to kidney and liver damage.
- Long-Term Risks: Regular and long term use raises the risk of ulcers and cardiovascular issues among other risks.
- Surface-Level Relief: Some painkillers like paracetamol doesn't even target inflammation, leaving the root cause untouched.

You can take alternative approaches to decreasing inflammation. Dietary changes, like avoiding processed foods and sugar, can help reduce inflammation, but they’re rarely enough for severe, hormone-driven symptoms. When you’re doubled over in pain, food tweaks alone won’t deliver the powerful relief you need.
The Ideal Middle Ground: Safe and Powerful Anti-Inflammation
What’s needed is a solution strong enough to tackle the worst cramps, yet gentle enough to use regularly. Natural, herb-based anti-inflammatories strike this balance perfectly, offering powerful relief without the risks of pharmaceuticals.
How To Pick the Right Solution
Regardless of what solution you choose to tackle your period symptoms, here's the things to look for which will deliver the best results:
- Safe for Long-Term Use: Find something that can provide relief month after month, with no harmful side effects.
- Proven to Work: Choose remedies backed by historical use and modern clinical trials.
- Trusted by Experts: Advice from experienced healthcare providers matters. Generally, if it's recommended by a healthcare provider or expert - it's more trustworthy.
- Easy to Use: Look for something simple to incorporate into your routine.
- Targets Inflammation: Don’t settle for surface fixes - find something that treats the root cause - inflammation.
- Comprehensive: It should alleviate all your symptoms, not just cramps or pain.

Painkillers are NOT the Solution
For strong period pains, cramps and other symptoms. Painkillers aren't always the best solution because of the side effects. Instead, you need something safer for regular use and ideally more comprehensive at addressing multiple symptoms.

I’ve been using Hey Sister! for almost five years now. I used to experience intense period pain and had tried just about every natural remedy under the sun. But this is the only product that actually comes close to delivering fast and effective relief like conventional options do.
And it’s not just about pain relief. This is a next-generation solution that’s rich in plant polyphenols, supporting tissue repair, gut health, and overall wellbeing. It’s about bloody time we had a better option — and Hey Sister! is it.

Reflecting on my own history with painful periods, I wish I’d had Hey Sister! Period sooner. But I’m profoundly grateful to share it now - especially with women who feel like they’ve tried everything else to no avail. You don’t have to silently endure crippling cramps. Confront the real root of your period torment - inflammation - with a safe, herbal solution that genuinely works.
