Routine Maca Capsules For PMS Symptoms

Description

PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome)

PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is the name for the symptoms women experience in the weeks before their period. The majority of women report having pain during their periods. The pain is often mild but, in about 1 in 10 women, the pain is severe enough to affect day-to-day activities. The pain can become so severe that they are unable to go to school or work. The medical term for period pain is ‘dysmenorrhoea’. Most women who suffer from severe period pain start birth control, however, a small number don’t due to personal reasons.

Symptoms of PMS

Each woman’s symptoms are different and can vary from month to month. The most common symptoms of PMS include:

• mood swings
• feeling upset, anxious and irritable
• tiredness or trouble sleeping
• bloating or tummy pain
• breast tenderness
• headaches
• spotty skin
• greasy hair
• changes in appetite and sex drive

Things that can be done to help these symptoms include exercising regularly, keeping a healthy diet and taking pain killers. However, these might not always help.

Reasons behind PMS Symptoms

There are a number of reasons women suffer from PMS symptoms. One of the reasons includes cyclic changes in hormones, meaning they change with hormonal fluctuations and disappear with pregnancy and menopause. Another reason is due to chemical changes in the brain. Fluctuations of serotonin trigger PMS  symptoms. Insufficient amounts of serotonin can contribute to premenstrual depression, fatigue, food cravings and sleep problems.

Birth Control

Many women are unable to take birth control to combat PMS symptoms. This is why they search for herbal remedies that are known to act as a natural substitute for birth control, like maca root. The reasons why women can’t take birth control could be due to a number of reasons, including having a history of blood clots, history of strokes or heart attacks, cancer, high blood pressure and much more. Taking birth control under these conditions could worsen these situations.

How Routine Maca Capsules Can Help

PMS symptoms can be debilitating. They cause pain and discomfort and affect the lifestyle of many women every month. Maca powder has been shown to balance hormones, which might help ease PMS symptoms.

Maca root is a good source of vitamin B6, potassium, manganese, vitamin C, iron, and copper. These vitamins help with PMS symptoms. For instance, Vitamin B6 helps produce dopamine and serotonin for the brain, and potassium helps combat bloating, depression and irritability.

As maca is an adaptogen, not a stimulant, it can help the body adapt to hormonal changes and bring balance back into the body during these sub-optimal times. Maca root could help your body in producing more hormones at a time when your own endocrine system may be flagging due to the effects of changes in hormones.

Maca Root is not just helpful when it comes to helping with PMS symptoms, but it also helps with libido, energy levels, depression, hot flushes, night sweats, headaches, migraines, anxiety for postmenopausal women, menstrual pain and so much more! The benefits are endless!
