Each woman thinks she has the worst that premenstrual syndrome can yield. But you can always find another woman who suffers from symptoms in a more severe manner—always. From the headaches and insomnia to the fatigue and cramps, PMS symptoms will vary, but one of the most exasperating can be the bloating.
The Life of Bloatedness
Julie Labadie suffers from abdominal bloating. Julie knows plenty of gals who complain about suffering from the worst type of abdominal pain—but no one suffers from the issue as badly as Julie does. Julie has been forced to skip work because of the pain. She’s had to cancel lunch dates. She even had to skip her flight home once because she couldn’t sit for extended periods.
You, like Julie, become debilitated by the bloatedness. Clothes don’t fit. You worry about the food you eat to minimize discomfort. And even physical distress keeps you from enjoying exercise and sex.
Doctors say the bloatedness is the result of either water retention or gas buildup in the intestines. And while these are the common causes for the problem, you know that the issue brings severe pain and discomfort usually one or two weeks before the start of your period.
It Gets Better
PMS is a universal problem. Each symptom has its own cause, and abdominal bloating is primarily the result of genetics, hormonal fluctuations and high-sodium diets. While diet can be remedied easily enough, genetics and hormones cannot.
For women like Julie who suffer from intense bouts of bloatedness, the medicinal properties of Chinese Herbs such as Licorice, Dong Quai, and many other herbs in a formula can help minimize the pain. Considered a sweet treat, Licorice remains a widely consumed herb with a medicinal history dating back to ancient Egypt. The licorice shrub, officially known as a weed, grows well in hot, dry climates, and Traditional Chinese Medicine employs this herb in as many as half of all patient prescriptions.
Licorice promotes digestive health by soothing irritated stomach tissue and flushing toxins from the body. It eases bowel disorders and inflammation to help stool pass smoothly, making the weed ideal for abdominal bloating.
For women who suffer from bloatedness as a result of hormonal imbalances, Dong Quai can also balance the body’s estrogen levels by regulating high and low fluctuations in the body. In addition, Dong Quai contains mild phytoestrogens, substances that mimic estrogen and naturally reduce abdominal bloating.
