Solving the PMS Problem

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 have some form of discomfort during their monthly cycle. These health disturbances, which include both physical and emotional symptoms, typically occur about 7-10 days before the start of menstruation. 

Although these symptoms vary from woman to woman, they typically include cramps, headaches, backache, bloating, edema, food cravings, irritability, moodiness, and depression. There may also be problems with constipation or diarrhea, reduced tolerance for light and noise, sleep disturbances, fatigue, anxiety, difficulty with concentration, and loss of interest in sex.

These symptoms have been lumped together under the term, premenstrual syndrome, or PMS for short.  About 5% of women experience symptoms so severe that they interfere with their ability to function normally. Medicine has coined a new term for these women, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Whatever you label the problem, however, modern medicine only offers symptomatic relief for PMS or PMDD symptoms. 

This does not mean that there are no solutions. There are. In many cultures, the majority of women do not experience PMS. This suggests that dietary and lifestyle factors common to most Western women are causing this discomfort during the monthly cycle. 

So, in this month’s Sunshine Sharing Hour, we’ll explore the underlying causes of PMS (and PMDD) and the dietary and lifestyle changes that can help to eliminate PMS problems. This includes nutritional supplements that can help to balance a woman’s cycle. We’ll also explore herbs used in other cultures to support a healthy menstrual cycle in women.
