No More Pain With PMS

Oöna Health, first in industry to formulate standardized cramp bark extract, launches OönaPMS2 as defense against symptoms of PMS.

NEW YORK, NY, April 29, 2004 -- Oöna Health is the first in its field to create a standardized cramp bark extract, and includes this new formulation in OönaPMS2, a womans new defense against premenstrual syndrome (PMS). OönaPMS2 addresses the onset of PMS symptoms by combining standardized extracts of cramp bark and ginger to help the body relax smooth muscles, such as the uterus. OönaPMS2 was developed by Oöna Health, a womens healthcare company that addresses the wide spectrum of womens healthcare needs.

The issue with cramp bark has been that the tinctures would need to be taken frequently throughout the day in order to be effective against the symptoms of PMS," comments Valerie Otto, president and founder of Oöna Health. Because we have standardized OönaPMS2, our product does not have to be taken as often as other herbal products that claim to do the same. OönaPMS2 has the ability to reduce the level of PMS severity and discomfort in women by 70% to 90%."

OönaPMS2s active ingredients, which are cramp bark and ginger, work together to alleviate PMS symptoms such as body aches, nausea, headaches, heavy bleeding, uterine

cramps, PMS-related indigestion and gas, PMS-related lower back pain and PMS-related muscle aches. Cramp bark has the active constituent verbenalin, which is a known

muscle relaxant and eases menstrual cramps by working as a uterine relaxant and general antispasmodic. The cramp bark extract contained in OönaPMS2 is a pure extract and is being patented by Oöna Health under the name O-Bark. Ginger reduces menstrual

cramps and gastronomical discomfort. Ginger derives most of its therapeutic effects from gingerol, which eases menstrual cramps by lowering a hormone-like substance known as prostaglandin, whose overproduction causes menstrual cramps.

The Oöna line is nationally available at natural health food stores, independent pharmacies, national retailers such as Vitamin Shoppe and Fred Meyer, and online at drugstore.com and oonahealth.com. OönaPMS2 can also be purchased over the phone by calling 888-596-5154.
