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.

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.

Cycle timing

When to take Crampy

Crampy is taken as needed, not daily — and it works best if you start slightly before the pain does.

  • Late luteal

    Start one to two days before your bleed is due if you know your pattern.

  • Menstrual

    One dropper at the first twinge, repeat up to three times a day.

  • Follicular

    Not needed. Put the bottle away.

  • Ovulatory

    Some women use it for mid-cycle ovulation pain.

Honest expectations

What actually happens, and when

No hype. This is the pattern most women describe, in order.

  1. 1

    Cycle 1

    First use

    Crampy is acute-use. Most women take it at the first twinge and again a few hours later.

  2. 2

    Cycle 2

    Second period on it

    You'll know your own rhythm — how early to start and how many doses you actually need.

  3. 3

    Cycle 3

    Pattern

    Taking it in the two days before bleeding, rather than after pain lands, is what most women settle on.

  4. 4

    Cycle 4+

    Honest read

    Crampy manages pain in the moment. If your cramps are getting worse cycle over cycle, that's a conversation for your provider.

From the bench

How it is made

  1. I.

    Harvest

    Certified-organic herbs, bought whole and in season from growers we can name.

  2. II.

    Macerate

    Cold-macerated for weeks in organic cane alcohol and filtered water — no heat shortcuts.

  3. III.

    Press

    Hand-pressed to pull the marc dry, so the full-spectrum extract makes it into the bottle.

  4. IV.

    Bench-blend

    Blended by hand in small batches on the bench, to the exact formulation ratio.

  5. V.

    Third-party test

    Every batch leaves only after an independent lab clears identity and purity.

Why I formulated Crampy
Crampy exists because 'take an ibuprofen and lie down' was the only advice I ever got. Cramp bark has been the herbalist's answer for a hundred and fifty years — it just never got dosed properly in a bottle you could buy. So we made that bottle.

Questions

The answers

When exactly should I take Crampy?

At the first twinge, and ideally a day or two before your bleed if your cycle is predictable. Up to three droppers a day during your period.

Is Crampy a daily formula?

No. It's an as-needed formula for the days around your bleed. Soothe is the daily one.

Can I take it with ibuprofen?

Many women do, but check with your provider — especially if you take pain relief regularly.

When does Crampy ship?

Crampy is available to pre-order now and ships by September 1, 2026. You're charged when you order and your place in the first batch is held.

Will it help with endometriosis pain?

We can't claim that. Crampy is a traditional antispasmodic formula for menstrual cramping — endometriosis needs a clinician, not a tincture.

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.
