What is the natural treatment for stomach cramps? My mother in law has been suffering from it but I don’t want to get medications for her.

This is a good reason for your mother in law to go see a doctor. Many, many things can cause stomach cramps and finding out the cause would direct what treatments are appropriate.
essential oils are good for cramps like Melissa oil, Peppermint, etc. It is really going to depend on why she is having the cramps to decide the best effective treatment.
Sorry your mother in law is having this issue. There are some herbs that can potentially help calm stomach cramps. Of course to know if these will help or if there’s a different treatment she actually needs would mean knowing why she getting cramps/what’s the cause of her pain so she should go see a naturopathic doctor or similar practitioner.
Generally speaking, some herbs that have helped many with stomach cramps are a category of herbs called carminatives and antispasmodics. This is a fancy way of saying herbs that get rid of excess gas, relieve discomfort and reduce intestinal cramping/spasms. There are lots of tea blends you can find at local health food stores and online that are labeled as carminative. I prefer to give teas for this as they’re usually cheaper and work well but they also come in tinctures and pill forms. They include herbs like fennel seed, anise, chamomile, peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, and they might even include something like marshmallow or slippery elm or okra which are demulcents (soothe irritated lining of the gut). Sometimes if a blend isn’t available, just getting a tea of one of these herbs can help too. The blend is best but not always necessary.
