Plant Medicine Provides Relief of PMS Symptoms Safely
The treatment options for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) vary considerably and reflect the multiple etiology theories and the complexity of hormonal interactions likely involved in PMS. They include ovulatory suppressants, progesterone, nutritional therapies, diuretics, bromocriptine, prostaglandin and melatonin inhibitors, antidepressants or psychopharmaceuticals, and psychosocial therapies such as relaxation training, support groups, exercise, and dietary changes. Progesterone is the most widely used treatment for PMS; however, its efficacy has been questioned.
Unfortunately, no one treatment has proven completely successful, and many of these therapies are not without side effects. In an effort to find safer, less extreme approaches to premenstrual syndrome management, researchers have explored the influence of diet and lifestyle modification and nutritional supplementation on female neuroendocrine function. The B-complex vitamins, magnesium, ascorbic acid, and essential fatty acids have the capability of influencing the same hormonal feedback systems as prescription treatments for premenstrual syndrome.
However, these natural substances focus on improving the way these systems interact by influencing the transport, reception, and elimination of peptide and steroid hormone levels, rather than directly decreasing or increasing a specific hormone. Numerous research studies have shown that nutritional supplementation may be effective in controlling symptoms of PMS. The focus is on improving liver function, because the biochemistry of hepatic estrogen conjugation emphasizes the role that nutritional deficiencies may play in depressing the clearance rate of estrogens.
Vitamin B6 is an important cofactor for enzymes involved in estrogen conjugation in the liver; for the synthesis of several neurotransmitters and for the synthesis of certain prostaglandins. With decreased levels of B6 in the body, the liver cannot conjugate estrogens, thus causing an increased blood level of estrogens. Vitamin B6 also stimulates cell membrane transfer of magnesium and increases intracellular magnesium. It provided considerable benefit to over half of the women, relieving headaches, edema, bloatedness, depression, and irritability.
Because magnesium plays such an integral part in normal cell function, magnesium insufficiency may account for a wide range of PMS symptoms. Studies have shown that erythrocyte magnesium levels in patients with PMS are significantly lower than that of control groups of normal women, and magnesium supplementation may help to relieve mood-related PMS symptoms. Magnesium depletion can be compounded by the use of diuretics, increased alcohol and dietary fat intakes, a high intake of dairy products, stress, and malabsorption syndromes.
Essential fatty acids, such as gamma-linolenic acid, are vital precursors of prostaglandins, which regulate the effects of sex hormones. A deficiency of essential fatty acids, either due to inadequate linoleic acid intake or failure of normal conversion of linoleic acid to gamma-linolenic acid, has been postulated to cause abnormal sensitivity to prolactin and the features of premenstrual syndrome. A high consumption of saturated animal fats, a source of arachidonic acid, can result in an overproduction of proinflammatory prostaglandins.
Plant medicine is proven by medical studies and clinical trials to successfully and safely provide relief of PMS symptoms. It contains pure and natural organic extracts and other all natural extracts to sooth and ease hormonal imbalance. No fillers, no dried capsules, no preservatives or chemicals, no artificial anything. Plant medicine provides a system of medicine which is in total biological harmony with the female body, and is non-invasive. Tests also indicate that relief of PMS symptoms often occurs within hours of use.
The certified organic medicinal plant extracts in plant medicine have the demonstrated ability to improve progesterone levels, or more importantly, create proper estrogen-progesterone balance into the second half of the monthly cycle and therefore ease or eliminate undesired symptoms caused by PMS. Application of plant medicine helps provide crucial balance between progesterone and estrogen levels. When treating sensitive skin make sure to use treatments made from certified organic medicinal plant extracts. To learn more, please go to [http://www.fonworld.org].
