I've tried the Moon Ease tea. I didn't really care for the taste, and it didn't help my symptoms at all (which sound similar to yours since I have almost no cramps until my period starts, then my uterus goes into overdrive for the next day or two). I don't know if it was related or just coincidental, but one month I drank a bunch of peppermint tea (like a cup a day), and my period was cramp-free. I didn't try it again after that because that's a lotta mint tea, but mint tea does help with pms-related nausea and hot flashes that I get.
If you get heartburn with pms, I found that ginger tea works for me.
One month when I was really late starting my period, I drank a bunch of parsely tea with some rosemary (or maybe thyme? I forget, but one helps stimulate uterine contractions IIRC) and a bit of ginger tea. I didn't have any cramps that month, but I'm not sure I want to force my period to start when I don't really need that push, you know?
