Menstrual pain, headache, constipation,
diarrhea, PMS, swelling, bloating, irregular cycle, are just a few of the "female"
problems plaguing women. I believe that both menstruation and menopause are normal
processes that female bodies go through and that the experience of minor discomforts
does not constitute an illness.
There is cause for concern when symptoms are in overabundance, when there is too much bleeding
or no bleeding at all, sweating buckets or debilitating pain, in other words,
when nature does not progress as it should. In such a situation we look at the
whole picture and history and tease out what the symptoms are telling us: is there
a hormone imbalance? Vitamin deficiency? Food allergies? Hypoglycemia or other
reasons?
It may be that your liver needs help breaking down the hormones and there are foods and herbs that can help with that. There are herbs that can help regulate an irregular cycle. It may be that your nervous system needs support. There are functional foods and natural solutions for many of these problems.
With the appropriate diet and targeted supplementation many female problems can be
resolved. Regulating menses takes at least three cycles, patience and resolve
are needed to carry through with the regimen but successful periods or easier
menopause make it all worthwhile.
