A Popular Natural Remedy for PMSWhat is PMS? PMS (Premenstrual Stress Syndrome) is stress which is related to the onset of menstruation. PMS is exceedingly common, and is characterized by symptoms of mood swings, depression, anxiety, and irritability. It is also often accompanied by periods of cramping and bloating. Most women experience these physical and emotional changes each month before menses, and for some women in particular however, the changes are exaggerated and range from breast tenderness to intense irritability and mood swings. There have been four specific PMS symptom categories that have been identified, which are: tension symptoms, including nervous tension, irritability, mood swings and anxiety; hyperhydration symptoms, including weight gain, swelling of the hands and feet, bloating and breast tenderness; craving symptoms, including increased hunger, cravings for sweets or salty foods, headaches, dizziness, and a pounding heart; depression symptoms, including poor memory function, frequent crying, insomnia, depression, and confusion. Using a Natural Remedy for PMS FemRelieve is one of the available forms of a natural remedy for PMS, and it is a specialized dietary supplement which is designed specifically to alleviate the symptoms that are associated with PMS. This product contains five powerful herbs as well as roots with well-established pedigrees in relation to the treatment of such issues as muscle spasm, cramping, and bloating. The most active ingredient in FemRelieve is Chaste Tree, which has been studied extensively in relation to PMS. 
There is also the option of simply changing your diet, in order to naturally relieve PMS symptoms. Some of the most basic ideas include that of: dietary fat intake especially that of animal fats should be limited, as this helps to reduce water retention; caffeine and alcohol intake should be avoided, as they are diuretic and can stimulate excretion of important nutrients; processed sugars should be avoided as this will prevent excessive magnesium excretion; salt intake should be limited, as this will aid reduction of bloating and tenderness. As well, you should increase your fiber intake, include physical exercise in your daily routine, eat fewer dairy products, have high protein snacks between meals, try to eliminate or at least reduce smoking as this reduces iron intake dramatically and affects nutrient absorption, and there are also a number of herbal treatments available to help relieve PMS symptoms. Available herbal remedies include that of: angelica root and red raspberry, valerian, peppermint, fennel seed, blessed thistle, feverfew, wild yam, milk thistle, and kombucha tea. |
