        Icy Lin

        The menstrual cramps and discomfort has bothered me for almost one year. I had to take pain killers for some months and felt very cold on my feet during period. After 2 months of treatment from Dr. Grace, I don’t have any pain when period comes and my energy level is much higher. It is amazing! Highly recommend it!
