Letâs face it:
Menstrual cramps are no fun. But instead of surrendering to the couch (and that pint of ice cream), meet The Formula for Cramps, a topical cream blending 3,000 years of Chinese herbal wisdom with a vibe thatâs free of sticky goop. Think of it as your on-demand heating pad but infused with botanical magic and a sprinkle of castor oil and magnesium.
Rooted in Chinese medicineâs golden rules (balance, warmth, flow), this cream is a love letter to your uterusâcrafted by herbalists who actually get it.

Why This Cream Stands Out
- Rooted in Tradition: Uses herbs celebrated in Chinese medicine for centuries to support womenâs health.
- Clean & Conscious: All-natural ingredients, cruelty-free, and free of dyes and artificial additives.
- Fast-Acting Relief: Absorbs quickly and pairs perfectly with heat therapy for deeper soothing.
- Easy to Use: Portable for on-the-go relief, the castor oil absorbs fully without being messy and sticky.
- Eases Cramping: Topical magnesium acts as a natural muscle relaxer for maximum relief.
The Herbal Powerhouses

Wild Angelic (Bai Zhi):
A dual-action herb that tackles inflammation and pain. Known as the âherbal ice pack with a warming kickâ, it soothes deep-seated discomfort while promoting healing.

Motherwort (Yi Mu Cao):
Eases cramps and gently supports mood during hormonal shifts.

Sappan Wood (Su Mu):
This vibrant red wood invigorates blood flow and reduces swellingâkey for easing stubborn cramps.

Mugwort Leaf (Ai Ye):
Traditionally used to reduce inflammation and stagnation.

Other herbs:
White Peony Root (Bai Shao), Corydalis, licorice root
How It Works: The Science of Tradition
Chinese medicine views cramps as a sign of âstagnationâ (poor circulation or energy flow). Formula for Cramps tackles this by:
- Warming the lower abdomen and back to relax muscles.
- Enhancing circulation with herbs like safflower and sappan wood.
- Reducing inflammation using peony root and licorice.
The result? Relief that feels like a reset button for your cycle.
The Formula Difference
- Ethical: Cruelty-free and eco-conscious.
- Transparent: No mystery ingredientsâjust stuff you can pronounce.
- Joyfully effective: Because comfort shouldnât feel like a chore.

How to Use
- Slather it on your lower belly, lower back, or even your belly button (yes, really!).
- Layer with heat (heating pad, warm sock filled with riceâget creative!). This step is not always necessary but feels great.
- Repeat whenever cramps return.
Note: Keep it away from your eyeballs. Seriously.
The Warming Support Crew
- Menthol: Helps herbs penetrate deeply while cooling irritated areas.
- Ginger & Copaiba Essential Oils: Boost circulation with a comforting warmthâlike a hug for your abdomen.
- Castor Oil: Acts as a carrier to deliver herbs where theyâre needed most. And best of all, itâs not oily and greasy in our proprietary cream form.
Skin-Loving Extras
- Magnesium Sea Flakes: Like a relaxing beach day for tense muscles.
- Orange & Cypress Oils: Reduces fluid retention and helps herbs to penetrate.
Final Thought:
Periods are naturalâbut suffering through them doesnât have to be. With The Formula for Cramps, youâre not just soothing aches; youâre embracing a lineage of herbal wisdom designed to help women thrive.
Crafted by herbalists. Inspired by tradition.
