PMS, Premenstrual Syndrome, is by far the most common women’s health / female’s health complaint. For some females, it disrupts their whole lives. The intricacies of a woman’s body are delicately tuned, and can become unbalanced or obstructed easily, causing pain, poor function and a disconcerting feeling of not feeling ‘together’ that often results in physiological and emotional problems, especially during the menstrual cycle.
WHAT CAUSES PMS?
The hormone shift in estrogen/progesterone ratios during the menstrual cycle is the major factor in PMS symptoms in the two week period before menstruation when the ratios are most elevated. Low brain serotonin, low thyroid, excess estrogen along with prostaglandin imbalance because of poor liver malfunction, and a diet loaded with too much salt, red meat, sugar and caffeine are all implicated in PMS. Most women that have PMS don’t get enough regular exercise. Many have low B vitamin levels, don’t get enough protein, and have several mineral deficiencies. Stress or long term emotional distress can most definitely also be a big factor.
