Natural PMS Relief

While widely accepted as part of being a woman, PMS symptoms can be prevented and treated naturally, without drugs. They are typically a result of progesterone deficiency, otherwise known as estrogen dominance in PMS. Understanding these hormonal changes is the first step toward achieving lasting PMS relief.

Symptoms of Progesterone Deficiency (Estrogen Dominance) include:

  • Breast swelling/tenderness
  • Headaches
  • Hormonal changes and mood swings
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Abnormal menstrual cycles
  • Bloating
  • Weight gain (particularly around the waist and hips)

Although natural progesterone balances the actions of estrogen and affects the health of the skin, hair, bones, heart, and brain, its main purpose is to maintain pregnancy and ensure that a fetus is carried to term.  Progesterone is an amazing hormone that, like estrogen, acts on every cell in the body. When looking at how to reduce estrogen dominance, restoring this vital hormone is often the priority.

When progesterone is in balance with the body’s other hormones, it can produce many benefits, including:

  • Anti-Cancer: reduces the risk of breast cancer
  • Musculoskeletal: builds bone
  • Neurological: decreases anxiety and depression, improves sleep, manages mood, and improves headaches

Frequently Asked Questions | Estrogen Dominance in PMS

While estrogen and progesterone both rise after ovulation, a sharp drop in both occurs right before your period begins. However, if you have estrogen dominance in PMS, your estrogen levels remain high relative to a progesterone deficiency, which can trigger intense hormonal changes and mood swings.
