Some women
have those terrible cramps, pain, bloating, depression and
anxiety, every month with the menstruation period, often
called PMS. (pre-menstrual syndrome)
With the
help of hypnotherapy you will be able to feel your body
relaxing more and more, especially your lower abdomen and
lower back, and feel any negative feelings and pain flowing
down your legs and getting sucked away from the souls of
your feet, as if the pain is being attracted away by a
strong magnetic force. This process will be very pleasurable
as you feel the soothing wave flowing down your legs.
Your
abdomen will feel so soft, as soft and light like cotton
wool. The pain will steadily disappear as if the whole area
around your ovaries has been frozen., and each time you feel
pain around the lower abdomen area. the pain will slowly
disappear and you will feel comfortable.
There are
many medicinal plants that can help us to control the
effects of premenstrual syndrome. Approximately 80% of women
of reproductive age suffer from premenstrual syndrome. This
problem, which is between 7 and 14 days before the menstrual
period, is more common in younger women, which have children
and those with a history of depression.
Although
there is no specific cause for premenstrual syndrome it has
been linked to a hormonal imbalance due largely to the
amount of estrogen in the blood and the effects produced
with the brain chemistry.
There's
also an influence caused by the levels of serotonin and
endorphins, (chemicals in the brain that play an important
role in mood and behavior)
Practice
exercise, preferably outdoors, which generates endorphins,
substances with a marked euphoriant effect, that helps to
release tension, aggression, irritability and raise morale.
Hypnosis can help you with these problems.
Try to get
plenty of sleep, because during this period one tends to be
more tired.
Changes in
diet, nutrition play an important role in the hormonal
system. During the period we need to take more
carbohydrates: pasta, bread, rice, whole grains, which also
facilitate digestion, and a tryptophan-containing amino acid
that helps the body to produce serotonin. If you feel the
need to eat something sweet, you can take raisins, prunes or
a little chocolate, which is rich in tryptophan, relaxing,
reduces anxiety, and improves mood. You should include fresh
fruits especially bananas and nuts and dried fruits and
almonds.
Avoid
taking fat, coffee, spinach, caffeine, pastries, alcohol and
salt.
Take high
fiber foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains to
prevent constipation and reduce levels of estrogen.
Drink
plenty of water and take little salt, to help the body to
process liquid, since in this period there is a high
presence of estrogen in the blood and these hormones tend to
retain fluids especially in the ankles, waist, breasts ,
legs and hands.
Take a
glass of warm milk to soothe the discomfort, as the heat
promotes blood circulation and decongests the pelvic area,
milk stimulates production of endorphins that help to better
control pain and reduce the contractions of the
uterus.
