Women Support/Menstrual

What is Premenstrual Syndrome or PMS as its commonly known?
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a combination of emotional, physical, psychological, and mood disturbances that occurs after a woman's ovulation and normally ends with the onset of her menstrual flow. The most common mood-related symptoms are irritability, depression, crying, oversensitivity, and mood swings with alternating sadness and anger. The most common physical symptoms are fatigue, bloating, breast tenderness, acne and appetite changes with food cravings.

Vata Dosha is most important, as it essentially regulates the nervous system-- and the menstrual cycle is closely related with the nervous system. A relaxed nervous system helps to have a smooth menstrual cycle.

Kapha Dosha is responsible for all anabolic activity and is generated by the plasma tissue.

Pitta Dosha flows in the blood and in the menstrual channel. The toxins from digestive imperfection seep into the blood, creating heat.

Balancing these doshas is key to help prevent premenstrual syndrome—and Vyomax does just this.

Excessive physical stress such as exercises, or any other heavy work, should be avoided to avoid excessive bleeding and pain during the periods.
