🌼Self-care ~Tips for good relationships~
●Know your own rhythm!
First of all, know the rhythm of your physical condition, and know the time of the disorder and the symptoms that are likely to occur.
Make a note of the bad days and their details in your notebook, calendar, smartphone app, etc.
Specifically, record symptoms such as irritability, headache, stomachache, and overeating. If you continue for a few months, you should be able to repeat the malfunction regularly to your surprise.
Once you know your rhythm, you'll be able to anticipate when you're going to be upset.
●Let's make time to relax!
Don't overdo it when you're sick, let's pamper yourself. I have to.
Plan ahead as much as possible and allow yourself more time to relax.
Taking deep breaths and taking a slightly lukewarm bath can help you relax.
However, I think that there are things that you cannot do by yourself when you have a job.
It may be difficult to say, but please tell them that it is a period of discomfort and rely on them.
And I would be happy if people who told me about their monthly poor physical condition understood that they had a disease called "premenstrual syndrome" and supported me.
●Review your lifestyle!
You can expect to alleviate symptoms by reviewing your diet and habits.
・Try to have a well-balanced diet
- Avoid alcohol, salt and caffeine
Be careful not to take too much as it can cause irritation and swelling.
・Avoid high GI sweets and meals
Before menstruation, blood sugar levels tend to drop sharply, and as a result, the mind tends to become unstable, so you need to be careful about "high GI sweets" and "meal only carbohydrates".
・Let's do light exercise
Exercise that regulates the autonomic nervous system is effective.
In addition to stretching and yoga that slowly stretches your muscles, do exercise that makes you feel relaxed, such as walking.
・Incorporate aroma
It is said that it is good to choose a scent that makes you feel “good smell 💛” and “relaxing ☺”.
It is effective to use a diffuser to diffuse the scent into the room and enjoy the scent slowly.
*If you drip aroma oil on a cloth product such as a handkerchief, it may stain, so you may want to use a handkerchief that does not matter if it gets dirty, or prepare a handkerchief for aroma oil.
・Avoid smoking
Smoking (including second-hand smoke) impairs blood circulation and causes hormonal imbalance.
Women-related troubles are a field that oriental medicine is good at.
It would be nice to incorporate the mindset of medicine and Chinese medicine.

PMS symptoms vary from person to person.
If your symptoms do not improve even after adjusting your schedule and reviewing your lifestyle, or if your symptoms are severe, consult your doctor.
It is important to make an accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.
For PMS, pills and herbal medicines are often prescribed to regulate the menstrual cycle and improve unpleasant symptoms.
In addition, drugs to relieve physical symptoms such as abdominal pain, headache, swelling, etc., and anti-anxiety drugs and anti-depressants to suppress depressive feelings are used. Various herbal medicines are also used depending on the symptoms.
