PMS home remedies Typical symptoms of PMS include tender sore breasts, heaviness of the body, headaches, irritability and general tenderness and cramping of the stomach. The tenderness occurs because of natural cycles of your reproductive hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. The quickest way to get relief from this pain is to have a hot shower, running plenty of hot water over your entire body. If you can, try to get a castor oil massage. This will help tremendously in relieving the pain. To avoid general bloating and puffing, try and stay away from foods that are high in salt and sugar, as these will bloat your body further and make the pain worse. For tenderness in the breasts, use a strong support bra during this time, preferably with underwires, for minimal movement and discomfort.
You must also exercise regularly, and try not to miss it all the more just before your periods. Exercise releases endorphins, natural hormones which are considered to be mood lifters. This will help you to avoid irritability. Try to cut down on caffeine and related products, as this is supposed to help relieve pain. Switch to herbal tea for that painful duration instead. Having a glass of warm milk with some ground cinnamon stirred also supposedly helps with the pain and discomfort.
