Made For You

Why Crampy, and what it does.

The Problem

Cycle discomfort shouldn't be the only thing on the menu. Cramps are uterine muscle contractions — something herbs have been used to support for centuries. We built Crampy as a plant-first ritual you can lean on.

The Crampy Answer

Crampy is a fast-acting tincture of cramp bark, Dong Quai, Chinese Peony, ginger, and lemon balm — antispasmodic and blood-moving herbs traditionally used at the first twinge. Sublingual delivery means it's felt in 20–40 minutes, not the 60+ minutes a capsule needs to dissolve.

Stackable formulas

✦ From the founder

"Your body was never broken. It was dismissed. We built the apothecary it always deserved."

I started Peace Love Hormones in 2019 in a Grass Valley kitchen — one clinical herbalist, five formulas, and a circle of women tired of being told their pain was normal.

Every bottle we ship is still small-batch, clinically dosed, and formulated by me. If it wouldn't sit on my own shelf, it doesn't go on yours.

The Long Story

From the herbalist's bench

Period cramps don't have to be your monthly normal. Crampy is a fast-acting herbal tincture formulated specifically for menstrual pain — not a painkiller that masks the problem, but a botanical formula that targets the root mechanisms behind cramping: smooth muscle spasm, prostaglandin-driven inflammation, and the hormonal imbalances that make some cycles worse than others. What Crampy Does for Period Pain Fast-acting relief in as little as 30 minutes — potent enough to cut through even your worst cramp days Targets cramping at the source — antispasmodic herbs directly relax the uterine muscles driving your pain Reduces prostaglandin-driven inflammation — the hormonal compounds responsible for cramp severity Absorbs 3-5x faster than capsules — tincture format delivers actives directly into the bloodstream Works preventively too — start 1-2 days before your period for dramatically milder cramps Key Ingredients in Crampy Cramp Bark (Viburnum opulus) The foundational herb for period pain. Cramp bark contains viburnum compounds that directly relax smooth muscle tissue — including the uterine muscles responsible for menstrual cramping. Its antispasmodic action is specific to the uterus, making it one of the most targeted natural remedies available for period pain. Ginger Root Research has shown ginger to be as effective as ibuprofen for menstrual pain relief. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis — reducing the inflammatory compounds that drive cramping intensity — while also easing the nausea that often accompanies severe cramps. Wild Yam Wild yam has a long traditional history of use for menstrual cramps and PMS. It contains diosgenin, a steroidal saponin that supports natural progesterone balance and has antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties in the uterine tissue. Chamomile Chamomile contributes dual action: antispasmodic properties that relax cramping muscles, and calming nervine effects that ease the anxiety and irritability that often compound period pain. It also supports healthy digestion during the digestive disruption that accompanies menstruation for many women. How to Use Crampy for Period Cramp Relief Take 1-2 dropperfuls (approximately 30-60 drops) in water or under the tongue. For acute cramping, take every 2-3 hours as needed. For best results, begin use 1-2 days before your period starts. Tinctures absorb sublingually within minutes — significantly faster than capsules or tea. Why a Tincture for Menstrual Cramps? Capsules and tablets must dissolve in your stomach before the active compounds can enter your bloodstream — a process that takes 45-90 minutes. When cramps hit, you don't have 90 minutes to wait. Crampy's liquid tincture format absorbs through the mucous membranes and begins working in 15-30 minutes. That difference matters when you're in pain.
