The time before the period – Oh no! I hear this from my clients all the time.
Your period isn’t just a time for complaints ,it’s much more!
Think of it as your body’s reset button, a time for natural detox and prepare for the next
phase.. It’s totally normal to feel a bit off, both physically and mentally, during this time. Instead
of pushing yourself too hard or doing nothing at all, try giving yourself some extra, gentle care –
like pelvic stretches, leg raises, a light walk, or even a swim.
Let’s have a one-on-one talk about PMS
Why does Period happen?
Your period is a natural part of your monthly cycle. Each month, your uterus builds up a soft lining .When the levels of hormones like estrogen and progesterone fall, it signals the body to shed the lining of the uterus – that’s what you see as your period.

What is PMS?
PMS, or premenstrual syndrome, is what many women experience a few days before their period. As your hormone levels, especially estrogen and progesterone, start to fluctuate and then drop, you might notice a wide variety of symptoms. You can call it preparation for the next period.

What symptoms can I notice in PMS ?
During PMS, you might notice a mix of physical and emotional changes. Physically, you may
experience bloating, cramps, body pain,headaches, and even changes in your skin and hair,
increase in weight, extreme cravings.
Emotionally, you might feel more sensitive, experience mood swings, or feel unusually irritable
or sad. These symptoms are part of your body’s natural response to hormone shifts.
Why do mood swings – anger, frustration, or crying spells happen during PMS?
Your hormones go through a bit of a roller coaster before the cycle. As estrogen and progesterone levels shift and eventually drop, they can affect the chemicals in your brain that control mood. This may leave you feeling more emotional, sensitive, or even irritable than usual. It’s a natural part of your cycle and a sign that changes are coming.
