✨ 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!

Menstrual cramps we've all experienced them! Some worse than others. But damn girl, they can really put in a dent in your daily activities.
Period cramps aren't just in your head, your uterus (which is a muscle) actually spasms due to the prostaglandins that line your endometrial lining.

Living with PCOS can feel overwhelming. BUT small, consistent habits create big change.

Evidence shows that women with PCOS benefit from:
👉🏻Walking daily → improves insulin sensitivity
👉🏻Strength training → lowers androgens & supports ovulation
👉🏻Spending time outside → Vitamin D regulates cycles & mood
👉🏻Healthy breakfasts → stabilises blood sugar
👉🏻2L water daily → supports metabolism & detoxification
👉🏻 A nourishing nighttime routine → lowers cortisol & helps sleep

Why does this matter? 👉 Regular ovulation means your body produces progesterone, the hormone that balances estrogen, lowers inflammation, and helps regulate cycles.

But here’s the catch: many with PCOS struggle to ovulate consistently due to high androgens, insulin resistance, or irregular cycles.

This is why we created Luna 5 our clinically formulated herbal supplement designed for women with PCOS.
It supports:
✔️ Weight management & fluid balance
✔️ Skin health & acne reduction
✔️ Hormone regulation & cycle regularity

💚 You are not alone in this journey. With the right habits + herbal support, your body can come back into balance.

Your period is meant to flow.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, movement is everythingi, Qi and Blood need to flow freely for us to feel balanced and well.

Your menstrual cycle is no different. In fact, your period is your body’s monthly cleanse.
When the uterine lining sheds, it’s not just releasing blood, it’s clearing away the month’s physical, emotional, and even energetic build-up.

Think of it as your body’s own reset button.
This is your time to release:

The endometrial lining

Hormone metabolites

Toxins and chemicals from your environment

Emotional stress you’ve carried

But when we block that natural flow, for example, with internal products like tampons or menstrual cups we can create stagnation in the womb. In TCM, stagnation is often behind period pain, clotting, and cramping.

That’s why we often recommend period underwear or pads, so your blood can move freely, and your womb can do what she’s designed to do each month.

Let your period flow, your womb health depends on it! 🩸

Your hormones aren’t just “moody” — they’re being messed on a daily basis by invisible chemicals hiding in your home and the environment. 😳

Let’s talk endocrine disruptors, the uninvited guests that mimic, block, or mess with your natural hormones.
They can live in your candles, plastic containers, perfumes, and even your drinking water. And yes, they’re linked to:

⚠️ Irregular cycles
⚠️ PCOS + endometriosis
⚠️ Fertility issues
⚠️ Estrogen dominance
⚠️ Thyroid dysfunction

What does the research say?

Bisphenol A (BPA), found in plastics, can mimic estrogen and alter ovarian function (Peretz et al., Reprod Toxicol, 2014).

Phthalates, found in synthetic fragrances, are linked to reduced progesterone and altered ovulation (Souter et al., Environ Health Perspect, 2013).

Parabens, used in soaps + lotions, may increase estrogenic activity in the body (Vo et al., J Appl Toxicol, 2010).

The good news? Small changes make a BIG difference.

Swipe the image to see 4 easy swaps you can start today:
✨ Essential oil diffusers instead of air fresheners
✨ Natural, unscented soap
✨ Ditch plastic water bottles for filtered options
✨ Store your food in glass containers — not plastic

These changes support hormonal balance and reduce your daily chemical load. It’s a step toward empowered, conscious living and your hormones will thank you for it.

Living with PCOS can feel like your body is speaking a different language — but you can learn to understand it.

We've created a 5 simple healthy habits chart so you can adopt these practices into your daily rituals.

Here’s what science (and Chinese Medicine) agree on👇

✅ Walking outside daily improves insulin sensitivity and reduces cortisol — a major driver in PCOS
✅ Weight training supports ovulation and metabolic health
✅ A nourishing breakfast helps stabilise blood sugar and prevents the 3pm crash
✅ Quality sleep and a night routine boosts melatonin — which has been shown to improve menstrual regularity in PCOS
✅ Sunlight + nature support Vitamin D levels (low in many with PCOS) — critical for ovulation
✅ Hydration supports liver detoxification + hormone clearance

Here’s the key:
When you ovulate regularly, your body produces progesterone — a powerful hormone that calms inflammation, balances estrogen, and regulates your cycle.

Which habit are you focusing on this week?
