Lady's Bedstraw Overview
Galium verum, commonly known as lady's bedstraw, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Rubiaceae family. It is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, where it grows in dry grasslands, meadows, and heathlands. Lady's bedstraw is characterized by its clusters of small, bright yellow flowers that bloom from June to September, emitting a sweet scent reminiscent of honey. In traditional herbal medicine, the aerial parts of Galium verum are used to prepare herbal teas and infusions believed to have diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and mild sedative properties. Additionally, the plant has historical uses in bedding material, giving rise to its common name, "bedstraw," as it was once used to stuff mattresses and repel fleas.
Meclofenamate Overview

It also may be used to decrease bleeding in women who have abnormally heavy menstrual blood loss. Meclofenamate is in a class of medications called NSAIDs. It works by stopping the body's production of a substance that causes pain, fever, and inflammation.
