WHAT IS PMS?

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a group of physical and emotional symptoms that occur anywhere between 1-2 weeks before your period.

Although PMS symptoms are very common among women, it doesn’t mean they have to be normal. I would say that in many cases, they are much harsher than they need to be. If you are experiencing harsh or debilitating PMS symptoms beyond a slight discomfort, you may benefit from incorporating some therapeutic natural strategies.

Symptoms of PMS usually emerge during the drop in estrogen and progesterone before the shedding of the uterine lining. One of the primary factors that has been isolated as linked to harsh PMS symptoms is an imbalance in hormones. In particular, estrogen dominance may be at play for many women.

WHAT ARE PMS SYMPTOMS?

For the women I am writing to, the symptoms of PMS are much worse than the regular symptoms that come around when a cycle is about to start. There are many common physical symptoms, such as bloating, fatigue, cramps, breast swelling, etc. Apart from these symptoms, there may also be mood swings, irritability, depression, anxiety, and lack of concentration.

While hormone levels fluctuate differently for each woman, the symptoms they face may also vary. Some women display mild symptoms while some others have severe ones. Severe PMS symptoms are rare. However, there is a percentage of women who have severe symptoms.

In such cases, it is known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder or PMDD (7). The symptoms include depression, suicidal tendencies, panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia, and other extreme feelings. It also occurs due to a more pronounced imbalance in estrogen and progesterone levels. In such cases, it is important to consult a doctor immediately.

HOW TO EASE SYMPTOMS OF PMS?

Most women show at least some signs of PMS during their cycle.  Following a healthy lifestyle and improving your diet, getting a lot of rest, and regular physical activity can reduce your symptoms.  There is no absolute cure for PMS but there are steps you can take to make your PMS experience milder.

On top of using lifestyle strategies to balance hormones and relieve PMS symptoms, another way to decrease the severity of the symptoms is by using Chasteberry. It is known to help women regain a normal menstrual cycle (3).
