You may hear people talk casually about PMS. This commonly refers to premenstrual syndrome – a group of mild to moderate discomforts that may happen before or during your period. These usually include feeling moody or irritable, breast tenderness, temporary puffiness or “bloating” in your abdomen, headache, tiredness, acne, and cravings for certain foods. You may experience some or all of these symptoms. Or, you may be lucky and have none.
The symptoms of PMS can usually be alleviated by following a healthy lifestyle. Exercise is a very good way to relieve cramps and decrease stress. Getting proper rest, following a healthy diet, and drinking plenty of water will help you feel your best and lessen some of the discomfort. Avoid caffeine and alcohol during this time, as well as foods that are high in salt, fat, and sugar. Over the counter pain relievers that contains ibuprofen or naprosyn may help, too. You may find alternative therapies (massage, aromatherapy, acupuncture) aimed at promoting comfort and reducing stress to be helpful. Check with your doctor/health care provider before starting any herbal remedies.
