When You Are Caught in this Condition …

Some women don’t experience any discomfort while others are trapped every month in a cycle of pain. So why is this the case? From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) is considered a deficiency condition of the blood. When the blood quality is weak then all of the organs are not able to perform their job. In particular, your glands are not able to send their messages via hormones in harmony with the rest of the body. In addition, the liver does not filter the blood while the spleen is not optimally moving the blood. When the blood is filtered and transport is in balance with the whole human body then the hormones are communicating, effectively. When the blood becomes sludge or the blood is unfiltered then communication between glands is slowed down or non-existent. It is not a matter that your hormones are deficient but rather the hormones are obstructed thus causing the body to be out of sync. You have enough hormones!

For a remedy to correct the blood pollution, the spleen and liver must be energized and nourished. When they kick into optimal gear then the blood flows through the arteries, veins, capillaries and organs supplying quality and functional blood. Thus, the body’s energy improves, the mood improves, pain ceases, improved sleep follows, and so on.
