How Chinese Herbs Help PMS – The Modern World Plague
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is the most common disorder for women during their reproductive years, but it doesn’t have to be. Asian cultures have been using Chinese herbs as medicines to treat menstrual cycle related symptoms for centuries. Traditional Chinese medicine addresses the imbalance of Qi in the reproductive and other related organs and helps to re-establish the flow of Qi and bring a balance to the body. This allows the body to function optimally without drugs or hormone pills such as a birth control.
Often the underlying problem with PMS is the hormonal imbalance. Estrogen levels are commonly too high in relation to progesterone levels. What’s causing this imbalance? The most common cause is our diets. Hormones are sensitive and overeating and obesity often lead to conversion of androgens to estrogen by aromatase.
