Red Peony & Fennel Fruit Menstrual Pain Formula

An effective alternative to alleviate menstrual pain

“For most of my life, the first few days of my period have required me to take ibuprofen throughout the day to manage the cramping in my lower back. Since beginning Red Peony & Fennel Fruit Menstrual Pain Formula, I rarely, if ever, take a dose of ibuprofen. It alleviates my pain and inflammation beautifully, and if I remember to take the formula just before my period starts, I have experienced completely pain-free periods. I am so grateful for this formula, and grateful to experience my periods in such a positive manner for the first time in my life.”

History

Red Peony & Fennel Fruit Menstrual Pain Formula is based on a classic formula from a book originally published in 1830. Brette adapted this formula for a patient who couldn’t take all of the herbs in the classical formula. She changed the formula, taking out those herbs and adding in others that are good for menstrual pain. Her patient loved it. Over the next few years, Krystal, Keri and Brette prescribed Red Peony & Fennel Fruit to other patients who also had great results with it. They even hired a wonderful pharmacy in California to make a tincture version of it. Unfortunately, the tincture version was not as effective as the powder version. So, they began packaging a powder version of it using KPC granules.

Composition

All of the herbs in Red Peony & Fennel Fruit Menstrual Pain Formula do multiple things very well. In creating a formula, we use herbs with similar functions to enhance each other. This allows us to use a lower overall dosage of the herbs but get a strong effect. Here are the reasons we chose the herbs in the formula:
  • Red Peony & Ligusticum - antispasmodic to alleviate cramping.
  • Fennel Fruit, Dried Ginger, and Cinnamon Bark - warm the uterus (like a heating pad from the inside) and help with digesting the other herbs.
  • Corydalis and Myrrh - analgesics to help with pain.
  • Bulrush and Notoginseng - adaptogens that both invigorate blood and stop bleeding. Some women need (to be overly descriptive) clots to come out for their pain to stop while others have excessive bleeding that needs to stop. The adaptogens are wonderful because they can help in both of these situations, and they don't cause issues for women who have neither excessive clots nor bleeding.
“I remember when I first got my period my mother telling me what a beautiful thing it was and how one day this would allow me to become a mother. At that moment, I did not feel like bleeding and pain were a beautiful thing. I felt betrayed by my body. And, I think many women feel betrayed each month when they’re in pain. As an acupuncturist I’ve learned so much about the menstrual cycle and I see the beauty in it now. I hope that this formula not only gives women relief from pain but an entry point into seeing the beauty of their menstrual cycle.”
