THE PMS CARE | Yarrow + Lady's Mantle

What is PMS?

PMS stands for premenstrual syndrome. It describes a series of physical and emotional complaints that many women experience in the days before their period. These complaints usually subside when menstruation begins or shortly after it begins, until they reappear the following month. This is due to hormonal fluctuations, particularly in relation to the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. The intensity and type of symptoms can vary from woman to woman. The most common PMS symptoms include: headaches, migraines, stomach pain, breast tenderness, back pain, abdominal pain and even cramps, fatigue, irritability, nervousness, mood swings, sadness, anxiety, food cravings, sleep disorders, bloating, water retention, weight gain, increased appetite.

About Vitamin E

We use a natural source of vitamin E, which means that our compound does not contain any foreign isomers (structural chemical compounds), which leads to a higher bioavailability. Vitamin E has many positive effects on our body - it helps to fight harmful compounds (free radicals) in our cells. These free radicals can be promoted by various factors, such as inflammation in the body, UV radiation, stress, nicotine and environmental toxins. They have a cell-damaging effect and are also associated with the development of various diseases such as cancer and aging processes. Vitamin E can also help to reduce the clumping of blood platelets in the veins.

Vitamin E is also used in the following areas: Alzheimer's disease, diabetes mellitus, inflammation (osteoarthritis, arthritis), skin injuries, cardiovascular diseases, immune system, respiratory system, cataracts, cancer and menstrual pain. In relation to PMS, vitamin E can help reduce PMS symptoms, especially tension and pulling in the breasts.
