If you are experiencing period mood swings, you need natural remedies so you can function in your daily life. There are many different ones you can use.
For example, you could try:
- vitamins
- minerals
- changing your diet
- homeopathic remedies
- herbal remedies
- essential oils from herbs
- detoxification strategies
- exercise
- reading a book about happy topics
- pet therapy
- any other therapies
- any other type of supplement
With all these different therapies to try, you will certainly find your cure for PMS mood swings. If you are assessing these different therapies, you’ll see that they really fall into several different categories. Some of them relate to nutritional causes of menstrual mood swings such as diet, vitamins and minerals and supplements such as homeopathic remedies. Another cause could be due to high amounts of toxins in the body, thus detoxification is the ‘cure’.
Another type of strategy against these menstrual mood swings is to distract yourself such as exercising, reading a book about happy topics, and spending time with your pets. These strategies in this category could be some of your best remedies and they are done in the privacy of your own house. For example, let’s say you wake up during your period (or before your period), and you’re very irritated. As the day goes on, your irritation shows up as resentment, bitterness, arguments, and even telling some friends to take a hike.
But if you interrupt this cycle of emotions at home while you are still in bed, you can create a much better unfolding of your day. For example, you could spend the first 10 minutes talking to your pet and telling him or her how beautiful he or she is. This will change your mind from a track of irritability to one of gratitude and love. Your mind can’t have both tracks going at the same time. When you choose an activity that switches your neurological tracts from irritability to love. The mood swings are gone in no time at all.
Of the strategies you can use from the list, what are the 4 best home remedies? The answer is that it depends on what the cause is of your mood swings. If bad or poor nutrition is the cause of your moodiness, then your best remedies could be changing your diet and incorporating more vegetables into your meals with less processed foods and GMO foods. Or vitamin and mineral supplements might be your solution.
The thing to keep in mind is that you could have numerous causes and all of them are contributing to your mood swings during your period. This means you will have to choose three or four different types of strategies that could potentially eliminate your mood swings.
Here’s an example of what I mean – If you think that nutrition has been your weakness for most of your life, then it would be foolish to try changing your diet and then a week later saying that it didn’t work. You really didn’t give it a fair trial. Diet changes need about 4 to 8 weeks to truly see a difference. However, you may have chosen a few diet changes that are nowhere near the whole list of changes that need to be made.
You might be eating all these: rancid oils, fried foods, corn oil, vegetable oil, safflower oil, canola oil, sugar, processed foods, GMO foods, not enough meat or protein foods, or no fat in the diet at all. You might be consuming too much fat or too many carbohydrates.
Diet changes – although they are good – are not enough to reverse dietary deficiencies that are causing mood swings or other PMS symptoms. You need supplements, too. (This is where a period vitamin may help. This is a vitamin mineral supplement that contains vitamins and minerals and herbs together that will help keep you stable during the different hormonal changes that occur during the month.)
On the other hand, if you only take supplements without changing your diet, then you aren’t doing enough to make a big enough difference.
Make sure you are doing enough right now to eliminate your PMS mood swings.
