Hello,

I haven't come across any specific details on this product's availability, but I believe I have the next best thing. The five herbs contained in Lydia Pinkham's original formula are:

(Pleurisy root) is diaphoretic, anti-spasmodic, carminative, and anti-inflammatory.

(Life root) is a traditional uterine tonic, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and emmenagogue used for amenorrhea or dysmenorrhea.

(Fenugreek) is vulnerary, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, tonic, emmenagogue, galactogogue, and hypotensive.

(Unicorn Root) was used by several Native American tribes for dysmenorrhea, uterine prolapse, pelvic congestion and to improve ovarian function.

(Black cohosh) is an emmenagogue, anti-spasmodic, alterative, nervine, and hypotensive and is used traditionally for menopausal symptoms.

Apparently the formula also contains alcohol, (ethanol, as in wine, beer and liquor of all sorts). Alcohol is said to relieve muscular stress and acts as a pain killer, and also changes one's mood.

For additional details on this formula, I'd recommend searching wikipedia for "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound".

Have any women here had success with it?
