Normally I don't like to get too personal here on my blog, it is just not my way. But I also don't like to have useful information just to keep it all to myself. So here goes!
We are all women here (I hope) so I assume that we are all affected by either PMS or menopause symptoms. I have found a couple of herbal remedies that have given me lots of relief over the last couple of months. The first is this:
Yes, it is called Get A Grip Tea! If you click on the link you can see all of the ingredients listed. This works very nicely for those overly emotional, freak-out type of days. When I start feeling unbalanced, I have a cup of this tea and within 10 minutes I feel like I am coming down to earth and away from crazy mode. Honestly, the flavor is not the best, but I take it anyway simply because IT WORKS!
The next tip is for dizziness, lightheadedness and the feeling of disconnection that sometimes comes as a PMS symptom.
Over the last year or so, I have been getting dizziness that is bad enough that I feel uncomfortable driving. This generally happens only every 3rd month or so, but it is often enough that I wanted it to stop. Since herbs are an area of interest for me I have some natural healing books and by combining a little of this and a little of that, I have found something that works for me. Make a cup of tea using the following 3 herbs (approximately 1/2 tsp. each):
red rasberry leaf
sage
peppermint
***All of these should be high-quality herbs from the health food store or from a trustworthy online source.
On the days when I am dizzy, I put this in a water bottle and tote it around if I leave the house. Once the dizziness comes on, I take a few sips and it is gone within 10 minutes. This has been a true life-saver for me!
I hope that this information is helpful to someone!
And now back to our regularly scheduled non-embarrassing posting!
