✨ Luna 1 – Ancient Chinese Medicine
Created by Dr Amanda Waaldyk , after years of watching women (myself included with adenomyosis and stage 4 endometriosis) suffer with debilitating pain, cramps, heavy periods, nausea & fatigue.
For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has treated gynaecological conditions with powerful herbal formulas. Luna 1 draws on this wisdom, reimagined for today’s woman & menstruator.
How it works 👇🏻
It's a famous formula composed by Zhang Zhongjing, in the Eastern Han Dynasty! It's been used for around 1800 years, specifically for gynae issues.
Bai Shao (Peony): reduces prostaglandins (the culprits behind cramps) and softens the liver to relieve pain.
Yu Jin (Turmeric): reduces inflammation, balances estrogen, and inhibits cell proliferation (supportive in endo).
Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng): tonifies Qi to reduce fatigue and restore vitality.
Dang Gui (Angelica): balances hormones and nourishes Qi & Blood.
This hierarchical formula is designed to:
💫 Support women with dysmenorrhea (painful periods), menorrhagia (heavy bleeding), adenomyosis and endometriosis
💫 Warm the womb and open pelvic meridians to ease pain
💫 Reduce prostaglandin activity to calm spasms and cramps
🌹 Peony is known as the “rose of the East” softening, nourishing, and guiding us back into flow.
Luna 1 is more than a supplement. It is womb medicine bridging ancient herbal wisdom with modern science to bring relief where it’s long been overdue.

Period pain is your body calling for support!
Research shows that castor oil packs can improve circulation, reduce inflammation and relax smooth muscle, all of which may help calm painful cramps. Many women with endometriosis, adenomyosis and heavy, painful periods swear by them as a natural remedy! We can vouch over here at Woom HQ
But here’s the truth 👉 relief often needs a multi-layered approach.
🌿 Pair castor oil packs with:
✔️ Anti-inflammatory nutrition (omega-3 rich foods, more greens, less ultra-processed foods)
✔️ Movement (even gentle yoga or walking can lower prostaglandins that drive cramps)
✔️ Targeted herbal support
And this is where Luna 1 comes in.
Formulated with Peony (Paeonia lactiflora) and other TCM herbal allies. Luna 1 supports blood flow, calms uterine spasms and reduces inflammation. Clinical research shows Peony can ease dysmenorrhea (period pain) and modulate hormone balance, all of which are powerful allies for endo, adeno and painful periods.
So when your period pain flares:
Castor oil pack on the outside.
Luna 1 working on the inside.
Because you deserve more than “just take the pill.” You deserve real solutions!
