Moon Balm, a new menstruation ‘wonder cure’ for period cramps, launches in SA

Struggling with period and ovarian pains and constant migraines when it’s ‘that time of the month’? Moon Balm could be the relief you need.


Every month hundreds of thousands of women across the world suffer through their periods, experiencing not only painful cramping, but in many instances also excruciating migraines.

While there are several medications on the market to treat both the cramps and migraines, they, unfortunately don’t always do the trick for everyone.

Kiko Vitals, a feminine supplement range, might just have the answer for women looking for alternative remedies to get relief from their menstruation problems.

After two years of research and development, the company on Monday launched Moon Balm in their online shop.
