PMS Relief
PMS or premenstrual syndrome is not a joke, it refers to a group of symptoms that an estimated 95% of females of reproductive age experience before the beginning of their periods every month. PMS symptoms can be emotional or physical, or both. It can include bloating, headaches, fatigue, mood swings, feeling blue, poor concentration, insomnia, weight gain, constipation, and other undesirable sensations that happen due to hormonal fluctuations from your upcoming menstruation.
You are not doing anything wrong
PMS is not a condition that you can avoid altogether. It is your hormones fluctuating and producing all those symptoms. Sometimes you feel very light symptoms or maybe none, but some periods come with very uncomfortable sensations that you might experience.
Good news, there is relief!
You are not a victim of PMS, there are many tools available to you to help make its symptoms better. What can you do? Planned Parenthood believes many of the remedies used to provide relief from cramps can help with PMS symptoms.
Over-the-counter pain products
You don’t have to push through the pain. There are many natural creams and oral products that can help relieve inflammation and pain from menstrual migraines or cramps, using plant-based ingredients.
Hormonal birth control
By keeping your hormones stable and minimizing fluctuations, hormonal birth control can help reduce PMS symptoms. Your doctor can help you find an option that’s right for you.
Keep moving
Don’t stop your exercise routine. Even light exercise like walking can help with PMS symptoms. The increase in oxygen and circulation will help reduce pain and swelling, as well as stimulate a healthy digestion, and improve your overall mood.
Relaxing activities
Relaxation practices such as mindfulness, breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga, can help tame anxiety, move your focus from discomfort, keep you grounded, avoid mood swings, and promote a general feeling of well-being.
Get extra beauty sleep
Go to bed earlier making sure you are clocking in more hours of snooze. If you get the chance, take a nap during the day instead of scrolling mindlessly on your phone. Even short naps work. Try keeping regular hours of sleep every night as it can help with stress, mood changes, and fatigue. Sleeping also helps reduce inflammation and bloating so there are only upsides!
Eat your veggies
Fruits, veggies (especially leafy greens), whole grains, and protein can help you minimize digestive discomfort when you have PMS. Limit foods that you know can irritate, bloat, or constipate you. For a few days lay off greasy foods and limit, salt, sugar, caffeine, and alcohol.
Supplement your diet
Make sure you get enough minerals and vitamins by finding supplements that help with PMS symptoms. Herbal alternatives with ingredients such as ashwagandha, black cohosh, hemp extract, chasteberry, evening primrose oil, turmeric, and many other supplements have been reported to have positive effects in providing relief for PMS symptoms.
