PMS - Why Hemp Can Help
It can be a daily struggle for over 40% of PMS sufferers. PMS occurs between 7-14
days prior to menstruation. You might
experience symptoms like irritability and anxiety, breast swelling, tenderness
or backache.
Elevated levels of progesterone or oestrogen can cause
hormonal changes. Oestrogen is
eliminated by the liver. This is why you
need to have enough B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc. Low bile flow, or deficiency can cause high levels of
estrogen in the blood and symptoms like PMS.
Hempseeds and sunflower seeds, flaxseed, flaxseed, and
flaxseed all provide dietary factors that reduce estrogen levels or block their
attachment to receptors in cells. The effect of estrogens will be reduced as a result.
Women with PMS might also be deficient in essential fatty
acids and have poor conversion of dietary Omega 6 to GLA. Prostaglandin
abnormalities may result. Prostaglandins
are a group hormone-like substances that regulate many body functions,
including
* The production and use of steroids
* Hormone balance, synthesis
* Fluid balance and kidney function
* Inflammation, pain, swelling
* Blood pressure regulation and blood clotting
regulation
* Allergy to allergens and nerve transmission.
GLA is a building block of prostaglandins. It can be
found pre-made in hemp oil form. GLA could help reduce inflammation and balance hormones.
This could also ease bloating and cramping.
Research also shows that women with lower levels of GLA
are more sensitive to prolactin. This can lead to breast pain. GLA is likely to help
about half of the women with fibrocystic (a painful condition that causes
irregular menstrual cycles) who are affected by it. GLA should be obtained from other sources as many women
cannot convert omega-6 into GLA. Virginia
Harvest Hempseed Oil has 2.7 percent GLA.
Because it has both omega-6 essential fatty acids and
omega-3, hempseed oil can be used to provide GLA. They have been shown in
studies to regulate blood sugar levels. Fluctuations
can also be caused by PMS. Hemp oil can be
included in your daily diet, even though it may not contain as much GLA than
other GLA sources such as evening primrose capsules and borage oil. Hempseed oil can be used in smoothies, green drinks and
dips. Hempseed oil is great with potato or
potato and leek soup. Hempseed oil offers
many benefits, including the GLA and essential fats as well as magnesium,
chlorophyll and plant sterols.
