This summer has been very busy, challenging and quite interesting in terms of work and family. I have been going through a lot of physical and mental changes in the last few month. One of the most unexpected changes is the difference in and the intensity of my pre-menstrual symptoms.
I have been prone to getting a bad cold with a sore throat, body aches and pains as well as really bad cramps. It took me a few months to realize that all this was happening like clockwork the week before my period was due. Once I finally realized it, I tried a few remedies and I thought I would share them with you:
1) acupuncture: a session or two of acupuncture in the week leading up to Aunty Flo works like magic to clear any aches and pains.
2) hempseed oil:
I watched a YouTube video on the benefits of hempseed oil and I decided to try it out. As much as I don't really like the taste of the oil, I have to admit that it did wonders for my system and I keep a bottle in my fridge. This month, I forgot to take it regularly, and I paid the price in aches and pains and a bad sore throat, again, before my period.

It would be interesting to find out other tried and tested methods for alleviating pms symptoms.
Take care and have a great weekend ahead.
