Almost all women of age suffer with PMT at one time or another, if not all their lives. This simply doesn’t have to be the way. Gentle and nourishing ACUPUNCTURE is generally a pleasant and relaxing experience, and balances hormones so well that PMT quickly becomes a thing of the past.
Imagine your monthly PMT gone, forever.
BACKGROUND and SYMPTOMS
PMS is associated with imbalanced levels of progesterone and excess oestrogen and can be responsible for many physical and emotional symptoms in the days leading to menstruation:
Mood swings
Food cravings
Depression
Bloating and Fluid
Breast tenderness
Headaches
These symptoms vary from woman to woman but can begin as much as two weeks before a period and usually end an hour to a few days after the onset of menstruation. About half of all women regularly suffer from PMT and up to 10% suffer from extreme symptoms.
ALSO TRY SOME PMT FRIENDLY FOODS
Increase intake of mineral water, and drink herbal teas
Ensure you eat lean sources of protein including chicken, fresh fish, turkey and non animal based protein including legumes, pulses, lentils, brown rice and nuts
Eat regular meals and small snacks, and include some protein with each snack and meal
Increase dietary fibre by including some nuts and seeds, whole grains, lots of veg
Increase your intake of essential fatty acids (EFAs) through consumption of oily fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, trout, plus avocado, nuts and seeds (no peanuts)
Phytoestrogens (found abundantly in soy products) may exert a balancing effect when oestrogen levels are elevated. (legumes, seeds, soy, beans, plant proteins)
Take a good multivitamin/mineral tablet daily as directed.
ACUPUNCTURE + GOOD NUTRITION = BALANCED HORMONES
