Attention Ladies! Learn How to Bring Ease to Your Monthly Cycle

From puberty through menopause women experience a monthly cycle that involves fluctuating hormones, times of fertility and periods of menstrual flow. For some women these natural cycles go rather smoothly, but about 75% of Western women experience significant health changes during their monthly cycle. Most of these symptoms occur in the 7-10 days prior to the start of menstruation, which is why these problems have been lumped under the heading premenstrual syndrome or PMS for short.

PMS is a real health issue for a majority of women and one that exacts a terrible toll. Suffering with PMS for a week every month adds up to three months out of a woman’s life every year. What’s sad is that much of this suffering is most often unnecessary and can easily be corrected using diet and lifestyle changes, appropriate nutritional supplements and herbs or, in some cases, natural hormones.

This issue of Sunshine Sharing will cover overall strategies that apply for all types of PMS as well as specific suggestions for the four main types of PMS (A, C, D and H) and two minor types (P and S) and how to understand the differences between them.

Remember if you suffer from PMS, you’re not alone—75% of women do. But this doesn’t mean you’re doomed to suffer for the rest of your life. Although PMS has many causes, it is possible to identify what’s causing problems with your monthly cycle and fix them. There are many natural remedies you can use to ease your suffering, balance your mood and help you feel good all month long.
