Gentle PMS Relief: Simple Remedies for Period Wellness


Discover gentle, natural remedies for PMS symptoms - from cramps to fatigue - through poetic rituals, rest, and emotional care.


Discover Simple Remedies for PMS Symptom Relief

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) typically occurs once a month for most women. These symptoms arise alongside hormonal fluctuations - especially shifts in estrogen and progesterone - throughout the menstrual cycle. PMS can trigger inflammation, muscle soreness, and flu - like fatigue, often referred to as "periode flu".

Cramps result from uterine contractions, radiating pain to the lower back, thighs, and even shoulders. Emotional sensitivity and sleep disruption can amplify physical discomfort.

Every women experience PMS differently. As for me, I sometimes feel aches all over my body before and during my period. It's like finishing a marathon - your body refuses to move. My thighs pulse like drums, my back aches as if it carries centuries. I'm not just tired - I'm unraveling. Sweating, brain fog, dizziness, sluggishness, and an inability to concentrate. It's deeply frustrating. During those times, I simply lie down and binge - watch my favorite dramas.


Gentle Remedies and Rituals

The main intention of treating PMS is to relieve symptoms and reduce their impact on daily life. Here's what you can try:

  1. Whole - Body Aches
    • Warm baths, heating pads, and magnesium - rich foods. I usually drink spinach juice mixed with cucumber for hydration and lemon for vitamin C. Spinach is rich in folate and iron - great for blood health.
    • Gentle stretching or restorative yoga. This is my go - to for easing body aches. I practice Pilates and sometimes yoga - it helps restore strength.
    • Anti - inflammatory foods like turmeric and leafy greens. I love drinking ginger tea with lemongrass - it also helps reduce cramps.
  1. Cramps
    • Heat therapy, abdominal massage, and herbal teas (ginger, chamomile).
    • Over - the - counter pain relief (ibuprofen, naproxen).
    • Breathwork and pelvic tilts.
  1. Fatigue
    • Prioritize rest and slow rhythms - take a nap if needed.
    • Stay hydrated and eat iron - rich meals.
    • Journaling and emotional release. I struggle with this - do you? I prefer binge - watching drams to soothe my emotions, give yourself permission to pause and unwind from your busy schedule.
  1. Emotional and Energetic Support
    • Affirmation: "I soften into strength. My body is wise."
    • Embrace your cycle as a source of empowerment.
    • Permission to cancel, cacoon, and care.
Listen closely to what your body is asking for. These simple treatments may seem small, but they offer real relief. Try them - and you might be amazed by how these gentle rituals can empower your body and spirit.

"I love doing yoga or workouts like weightlifting , and sometimes I jog for about 30 minutes, three to four times a week. I simply enjoy moving my body. I think it has become more than just a habit now-it's my lifestyle. The Journey Began "Why did i say that? Because I can't stop thinking about my workout routines if i don't do them.

Stronger By Choice

"I Need to Diet"  That's the first thought that echoed in my head when I saw the number on the scale: 68 kilos. But instead of spiraling, I started listening. I didn't punish my body-I partnered with it. I never imagined that those four words would lead me to something deeper. Three green juices a week. More fiber, more protein. Less guilt, less guessing. I'm not shrinking to fit in-I'm evolving to show up.  Stronger by Choice.  Diet Alone Wasn't Enough When I was in elementry school, I had a friend who obsessed over her weight. She was so careful - avoiding greasy food, skipping dinner after 5 PM. Me? I'd eat anything, anytime. I had a naturally slim body and thought I'd never need to worry. Fast forward to today- I've become the picky one. And I finally understand why she was so mindful.  You Gotta Move But eating clean is just one piece of the puzzle. My biggest enemy? My own mind whispering: "You can exercise later." "Finish ...
