Ohh! 8 out of 10
women suffer from this
00:00:10.66\00:00:14.37

today entitled
PMS relief. Stay by.
00:00:16.02\00:00:21.55

slight hesitation
00:00:59.40\00:01:00.77
on that one. No,
00:01:00.80\00:01:02.17
I really wasn't hesitating,

00:01:02.20\00:01:04.85
Hello okay. This time it's
00:01:04.88\00:01:07.39
Paula Eakins okay.
Glad you're with us today
00:01:07.42\00:01:10.48
and now we are
talking about PMS again
00:01:10.51\00:01:12.98
now the lady at
the front of the tea,
00:01:13.01\00:01:15.67
she mentioned
about what, Mary, Martha
00:01:15.70\00:01:17.29
somebody is going
through some changes.
00:01:17.32\00:01:18.80
Hey! All of them, I
mean it's Josephine,
00:01:18.83\00:01:20.20
it's Anne, Shirley,
Margaret. Just call them out.
00:01:20.23\00:01:22.20
Ohh! It's a whole lot of women.
00:01:22.24\00:01:24.16
It's a lot.
Let's define the term,
00:01:24.20\00:01:25.90
first of all of course
now this is a running series,
00:01:25.95\00:01:28.97
a women's health
series, women's health issues,
00:01:29.00\00:01:32.25
so this is one of those series
00:01:32.28\00:01:33.92
dealing with PMS so
let's define the term
00:01:33.95\00:01:36.26
what is it and how
many women are affected.
00:01:36.29\00:01:38.40
Well, it's actually
a hormonal imbalance.
00:01:38.43\00:01:40.37
At least that's where you know
00:01:40.40\00:01:42.68
science and doctors
are going right now.
00:01:42.71\00:01:44.48
Hormonal
imbalances is one of those
00:01:44.51\00:01:46.48
misunderstood,
mistreated programs...
00:01:46.51\00:01:50.11
problem for women,
00:01:50.14\00:01:51.64
emotional and
physical, it's she is touched
00:01:51.67\00:01:56.08
by this syndrome and how about
00:01:56.11\00:01:57.78
8 out of 10 women.
Oh! 8 out of 10. Yes.
00:01:57.81\00:02:00.92
Okay, that's quite a
bit. Yes, that's a lot,
00:02:00.95\00:02:02.40
that's a lot, you know, okay,
00:02:02.43\00:02:04.01
and you know it's
different, there are different
00:02:04.04\00:02:05.56
forms out, which we are gonna
00:02:05.59\00:02:06.96
talk about later
as far as different.
00:02:06.99\00:02:08.40
Subgroups.
00:02:08.43\00:02:09.96
Subgroups that are actually
00:02:10.00\00:02:11.37
involved in that, but when I say
00:02:11.40\00:02:12.77
misunderstood and mistreated,
00:02:12.80\00:02:14.17
misdiagnosed basically
women are having a rough time
00:02:14.20\00:02:18.93
with this one. So,
doctors simply rather
00:02:18.96\00:02:21.41
overlook it or something else.
00:02:21.44\00:02:23.16
I think that
mainly because sometimes
00:02:23.19\00:02:25.93
she is not really 100%
sure of what's going on
00:02:25.96\00:02:29.00
and so I think that and
we'll talk about that too
00:02:29.03\00:02:31.48
about you know
how it is that we need
00:02:31.51\00:02:33.23
to kind of keep a
journal and kind of walk through
00:02:33.26\00:02:35.75
what we are
experiences. So when we go
00:02:35.78\00:02:37.20
to the doctor, we know exactly
00:02:37.23\00:02:39.04
you know what to
say how to explain it,
00:02:39.07\00:02:41.19
you know.
Right, so we gonna stay
00:02:41.22\00:02:42.94
with this folks
because we are gonna
00:02:42.97\00:02:44.34
walk through
this and some symptoms
00:02:44.37\00:02:46.58
and some things
that we want to discuss
00:02:46.61\00:02:48.32
that may be helpful
for some PMS relief.
00:02:48.35\00:02:50.79
Now one of the
things that I have heard
00:02:50.82\00:02:53.27
and read, and that is the
00:02:53.30\00:02:55.41
serotonin level
has something to do
00:02:55.44\00:02:57.48
also with PMS.
Explain that to us.
00:02:57.51\00:03:00.14
Okay. There is a brain
chemical called serotonin
00:03:00.17\00:03:04.37
and is produced in a
brain from L-tryptophan
00:03:04.40\00:03:07.15
and some amino
acids, so serotonin
00:03:07.18\00:03:10.49
is very important for our mood.
00:03:10.52\00:03:13.20
It's called the mood transmitter
00:03:13.23\00:03:15.51
and so therefore with that
in mind it's closely connected
00:03:15.54\00:03:18.85
to PMS symptoms
or sometimes called
00:03:18.88\00:03:21.69
premenstrual tension
syndrome and so with that
00:03:21.72\00:03:25.76
in mind serotonin.
When the serotonin is low,
00:03:25.79\00:03:29.18
we tend to have
those premenstrual
00:03:29.21\00:03:31.47
tension syndromes,
upsets for instance serotonin
00:03:31.50\00:03:36.82
also metabolize carbohydrates
serotonin that's one thing,
00:03:36.85\00:03:42.71
another thing that
serotonin also is connected
00:03:42.74\00:03:46.37
to the menstrual
cycle to balance estrogen
00:03:46.40\00:03:50.62
and progesterone.
Okay. Two, serotonin
00:03:50.65\00:03:55.10
also is connected
to our sleep cycle
00:03:55.13\00:03:58.93
therefore having said
that when the serotonin level
00:03:58.96\00:04:02.80
is low our sleep
cycle is disrupted.
00:04:02.83\00:04:06.12
We become
unbalance in our estrogen
00:04:06.15\00:04:09.45
and progesterone
and also we crave
00:04:09.48\00:04:12.87
carbohydrates.
That's why we need
00:04:12.90\00:04:15.64
to zero in on
balancing the hormones,
00:04:15.67\00:04:18.55
balancing the cravings,
but also more importantly up
00:04:18.58\00:04:22.99
the serotonin
levels in the brain
00:04:23.02\00:04:25.14
and I will show you
within next 10 to 15 minutes
00:04:25.17\00:04:28.38
how to do that, but
that's where the culprit
00:04:28.41\00:04:30.39
is the unbalanced or
the low serotonin levels.
00:04:30.42\00:04:34.56
That's where the
culprit is, so with that in mind
00:04:34.59\00:04:36.93
we need to really talk
about some other things,
00:04:36.96\00:04:39.69
but that's what we need to zero
00:04:39.72\00:04:41.35
in on balancing those levels
of estrogen, progesterone,
00:04:41.38\00:04:46.43
okay, but the serotonin
level does that when we increase
00:04:46.46\00:04:49.99
the serotonin level. So,
these things are gonna on
00:04:50.02\00:04:51.99
at the same time
and you know what
00:04:52.02\00:04:53.42
different women
experience different symptoms.
00:04:53.45\00:04:56.30
You know, yes
true, some physical
00:04:56.33\00:04:57.70
and mental state.
So, there we have a term
00:04:57.73\00:05:01.32
they call
subgroups, where there is a
00:05:01.35\00:05:03.91
different groupings as
far as PMS is concerned.
00:05:03.94\00:05:07.31
Explain that to us.
Now everyone does not
00:05:07.34\00:05:11.32
experience all
the symptoms of PMS,
00:05:11.35\00:05:14.30
so therefore
there are and lot people
00:05:14.33\00:05:16.25
may not know this,
but they are actually
00:05:16.28\00:05:18.51
four subgroups of PMS,
so let us go to the screen,
00:05:18.54\00:05:24.14
let's see those
four groups of PMS.
00:05:24.17\00:05:26.24
Group number one I'll
call this acronym CHAD.
00:05:26.27\00:05:30.29
Group number 1 is C.
This is cravings for sweets
00:05:30.32\00:05:35.80
remember now
low serotonin levels
00:05:35.83\00:05:37.70
also metabolize
carbohydrates appetite,
00:05:37.73\00:05:41.99
so therefore you have
C cravings for sweets.
00:05:42.02\00:05:44.32
Number 2, PMS-H, H stands for,
00:05:44.35\00:05:48.27
I'll call it Holding
water. Water retention,
00:05:48.30\00:05:52.66
so you have the
breast tenderness
00:05:52.69\00:05:54.54
and the swelling,
abdominal cramps in the legs
00:05:54.57\00:05:58.57
and feet that kind of thing
that's holding water for H.
00:05:58.60\00:06:01.28
The third one, A, Anxiety.
00:06:01.31\00:06:04.15
We can also add
with that irritability.
00:06:04.18\00:06:07.11
And then we
have D for depression
00:06:07.14\00:06:10.34
and also it can be so severe,
it can be also suicidal thoughts
00:06:10.37\00:06:15.37
and suicidal
attempts and sleeplessness.
00:06:15.40\00:06:18.10
So, therefore, we
need to understand that
00:06:18.13\00:06:19.93
when we look at PMS
we need to understand
00:06:19.96\00:06:23.01
what are those four
subgroups and which one of those
00:06:23.04\00:06:26.31
four subgroups are more prone
00:06:26.34\00:06:27.95
to have a problem
with. Now some people
00:06:27.98\00:06:29.96
may have a
problem with all four.
00:06:29.99\00:06:31.41
Some may be two of the
four then we can zero in
00:06:31.44\00:06:35.17
on those major subgroups.
Some may just have the H
00:06:35.20\00:06:39.33
for holding water
or breast tenderness
00:06:39.36\00:06:41.80
or water
retention, the swelling,
00:06:41.83\00:06:44.63
the cramping that may be it,
some may just have the sweets
00:06:44.66\00:06:48.07
to cravings or
carbohydrates and chocolates
00:06:48.10\00:06:50.96
and those kind of
things, so we need to zero in
00:06:50.99\00:06:52.95
in on one of those
subgroups that may,
00:06:52.98\00:06:55.25
maybe lot people
might be experiencing.
00:06:55.28\00:06:57.14
So that's thus very
important to understand
00:06:57.17\00:06:59.09
those four
subgroups. Well, I do remember,
00:06:59.12\00:07:02.33
I recall back in
a day that's when
00:07:02.36\00:07:05.18
I was a little bit younger,
I do recall the PMS, okay,
00:07:05.21\00:07:09.36
and I know you said Chad,
00:07:09.39\00:07:11.10
I remember
everyone of those I believe,
00:07:11.13\00:07:13.79
I belonged to all four groups.
00:07:13.82\00:07:15.32
Oh! All four subgroups.
All of it at the same time.
00:07:15.35\00:07:17.73
At the same
time. Okay mood swings.
00:07:17.76\00:07:22.81
CHAD. Oh! Yes, Oh! Yes,
Oh! Yes, Oh! Yes, Oh! Yes.
00:07:22.84\00:07:25.30
So and terrible,
terrible headaches.
00:07:25.33\00:07:28.55
Yes. Okay. I think
the only thing that
00:07:28.58\00:07:30.07
I did not have and
that was breaking out
00:07:30.10\00:07:32.29
with the acne. Yes, okay.
00:07:32.32\00:07:33.93
But everything else
I was right on target.
00:07:33.96\00:07:35.87
Right on target.
Which leads into.
00:07:35.90\00:07:37.88
Now we need to,
we need to have some
00:07:37.91\00:07:39.71
relief for that.
That's right because
00:07:39.74\00:07:41.11
I am a happy women
now. You are happy women
00:07:41.14\00:07:42.70
not because you
just married to me,
00:07:42.73\00:07:44.58
Oh! Yeah, twice in your life.
00:07:44.61\00:07:45.98
But that's part of
it, best part of it too,
00:07:46.01\00:07:47.50
but you know, we talk
about that relief from PMS.
00:07:47.53\00:07:49.34
Halleluiah. You
know one of things
00:07:49.37\00:07:53.34
that was very,
very important that
00:07:53.37\00:07:55.28
was real good nutrition. Okay.
00:07:55.31\00:07:56.87
Look you made a
comment about the sweets,
00:07:56.90\00:07:58.60
craving for sweets
and not only sweets
00:07:58.63\00:08:01.60
some serious and serious craving
00:08:01.63\00:08:04.64
for chocolate and I am
not talking about Carob,
00:08:04.67\00:08:07.20
I'm talking about chocolate.
00:08:07.23\00:08:08.60
Okay. So with that in mind
and that's one of the major
00:08:09.38\00:08:12.51
culprits that
Caffeine is a bad news, right.
00:08:12.54\00:08:14.36
Okay, so good
nutrition, good whole grain.
00:08:14.39\00:08:16.75
We talk about
that all the time on
00:08:16.78\00:08:18.15
Abundant living,
brown rice and all
00:08:18.18\00:08:20.87
whole wheat
products, good fruits,
00:08:20.90\00:08:22.64
good vegetables
those kind of things,
00:08:22.67\00:08:24.62
staying away from those sweets,
00:08:24.65\00:08:26.32
staying away from the
high amount of sodium,
00:08:26.35\00:08:28.57
you are also crave sodium salt.
00:08:28.60\00:08:30.71
Yeah, water
retention. That's right.
00:08:30.74\00:08:32.11
Particularly, I need to stop you
00:08:32.14\00:08:33.51
because particularly
right before the premenstrual
00:08:33.54\00:08:36.35
tension syndrome.
Absolutely, absolutely.
00:08:36.38\00:08:37.97
The seven or 14
days prior to that.
00:08:38.00\00:08:40.49
Umm!, Umm! Okay go
into that. And of course,
00:08:40.52\00:08:42.81
we already know
that on Abundant living
00:08:42.84\00:08:44.79
and as a matter of
fact not just there,
00:08:44.82\00:08:47.11
but the whole
Christian relationship. Okay.
00:08:47.14\00:08:49.66
No smoking and no
alcohol. I'll say it again
00:08:49.69\00:08:52.45
no smoking, no alcohol
that makes matters worse also.
00:08:52.48\00:08:56.23
By the way, I was not doing
any of those when I had PMS
00:08:56.26\00:08:58.01
just in case you were,
thinking about that and
00:08:58.04\00:09:00.97
I wanted to make
sure, I got that point out.
00:09:01.00\00:09:02.42
Yes. Refined foods, you know,
00:09:02.45\00:09:07.72
cakes, cookies,
pies, candy all those
00:09:07.75\00:09:09.46
kind of things that
craving is there in the
00:09:09.49\00:09:11.49
serotonin level
the imbalance. Right.
00:09:11.52\00:09:13.06
And you know
what we, one of things
00:09:13.09\00:09:15.33
so important is that,
it's harder for the men
00:09:15.36\00:09:18.44
to understand what
we're going through
00:09:18.47\00:09:20.31
and we said this before
on our programs in the past.
00:09:20.34\00:09:22.77
Ladies, we need
to talk to our family
00:09:22.80\00:09:26.36
about what we're
experiencing and men
00:09:26.39\00:09:28.92
need to listen up and
when this is happening,
00:09:28.95\00:09:32.17
we can help
each other. Umm! Umm!
00:09:32.20\00:09:33.96
Especially with the
mood swing and irritability
00:09:33.99\00:09:35.42
thing going on,
okay, so you want to,
00:09:35.45\00:09:38.18
when you start
seeing her starting to act
00:09:38.21\00:09:39.75
kind of strange, you know,
00:09:39.78\00:09:41.15
yes some things may
be, Oh! This is when you
00:09:41.18\00:09:43.74
would take a
walk. Okay, take a walk,
00:09:43.77\00:09:45.74
Both of you need to
take a walk together
00:09:45.77\00:09:47.14
along with that
taking a walk is something
00:09:47.17\00:09:49.29
about going out in
nature. God is so awesome,
00:09:49.32\00:09:52.45
you know, we go out in nature.
00:09:52.48\00:09:53.85
He calms our spirit,
the greenery is out there,
00:09:53.88\00:09:56.60
the flowers are out
there, the butterflies
00:09:56.63\00:09:58.72
are out there, birds,
it is just a wonderful
00:09:58.75\00:10:00.89
thing to do, to go
out and take a walk
00:10:00.92\00:10:02.74
number 1, number 2 is
sleep, need to get 7-8
00:10:02.77\00:10:06.91
hours of sleep, lot of times
00:10:06.94\00:10:08.58
we go to the
midnight hours ladies.
00:10:08.61\00:10:10.65
We need to be in the
bed. Umm!, 7-8 hours of sleep
00:10:10.68\00:10:13.75
is very important. And
then you might be saying
00:10:13.78\00:10:15.73
when I get the bed early,
I am still having problems
00:10:15.76\00:10:17.86
with headaches and waking up
00:10:17.89\00:10:19.34
all through the night,
okay. And so with that alone,
00:10:19.37\00:10:21.84
once again, it's
very important to get
00:10:21.87\00:10:23.66
that exercise in
and then on top of that
00:10:23.69\00:10:26.47
one of the things I
found really comforting
00:10:26.50\00:10:28.99
and I read this
before also and I did it,
00:10:29.02\00:10:31.42
I used it and
that was warm baths,
00:10:31.45\00:10:33.91
taking a warm
bath or warm shower,
00:10:33.94\00:10:36.28
soft music,
candles. Oh! That put me in a
00:10:36.31\00:10:40.58
different kind
of mood it was. Umm!
00:10:40.61\00:10:42.37
It was a God thing,
it really was wonderful.
00:10:42.40\00:10:44.55
Now, I need to say
this one thing to people
00:10:44.58\00:10:47.52
who are watching,
not that you're having
00:10:47.55\00:10:49.62
to during this time, but
she does enjoy warm baths.
00:10:49.65\00:10:52.45
Absolutely. And the candles.
00:10:52.48\00:10:54.05
Absolutely. And the music.
00:10:54.08\00:10:55.45
Absolutely. And she puts a sign
00:10:55.48\00:10:58.00
on a door, what's the sign
00:10:58.03\00:11:00.24
you put on your
door. Do not disturb.
00:11:00.27\00:11:02.51
Do not disturb, that's
right. She closed the door,
00:11:02.54\00:11:04.04
now folks, now
this is my take on this.
00:11:04.07\00:11:06.65
Now we're the only
ones living in a house. Umm!
00:11:06.68\00:11:10.23
No children
there, just me and her
00:11:10.26\00:11:12.36
and she has a sign
says do not disturb,
00:11:12.39\00:11:14.94
so how should I take
that, should I take that
00:11:14.97\00:11:17.53
in the personal note
or what I mean, because.
00:11:17.56\00:11:20.29
Well we're hoping.
Nobody else at home, but me.
00:11:20.32\00:11:22.94
I know it's just
you and I, however.
00:11:22.97\00:11:24.45
I'm over now, it's okay now.
00:11:24.48\00:11:26.26
It is nothing for me to
get ready to do that warm bath,
00:11:26.29\00:11:28.91
have my music on
and then there I've got
00:11:28.94\00:11:31.38
that candle going and everything
00:11:31.41\00:11:32.88
and I am laying
back on my pillow,
00:11:32.91\00:11:34.49
you know in the
tub when I got it,
00:11:34.52\00:11:36.61
I am just happy. Just
happy. And then the phone rings
00:11:36.64\00:11:38.68
and somebody is calling me,
saying I got to talk to her,
00:11:38.71\00:11:41.49
so that do not disturb
me is nobody can disturb me,
00:11:41.52\00:11:45.64
nobody. Okay, I
am just checking so.
00:11:45.67\00:11:47.58
So, I don't take
it personal. Nobody.
00:11:48.21\00:11:49.64
Okay, I'm just
wondering, okay. Yeah,
00:11:49.67\00:11:51.04
so because one
of those are is H,
00:11:51.07\00:11:53.42
I mean A, I
shall say anxiety. Yes.
00:11:53.45\00:11:56.89
Irritability, so
therefore need to have
00:11:56.92\00:11:58.71
that mood there and
that fresh air coming in,
00:11:58.74\00:12:01.52
the walking, the sunlight,
talking about serotonin,
00:12:01.55\00:12:03.81
we did a program sometime ago
00:12:03.84\00:12:05.70
about serotonin in
depression. Yes, we did.
00:12:05.73\00:12:07.10
The sunlight, the fresh
air, that helps to up the
00:12:07.13\00:12:10.14
serotonin levels as
well, so it's wonderful. Yes.
00:12:10.17\00:12:12.38
Now, what about
journaling or diary,
00:12:12.41\00:12:15.56
let's talk about
that for a little while.
00:12:15.59\00:12:18.05
One of the
things that I've found
00:12:18.08\00:12:19.45
that was really good
and I talk to a lot of women
00:12:19.48\00:12:21.63
about this as well
and that is journaling
00:12:21.66\00:12:23.44
what's going on
with you, you know,
00:12:23.47\00:12:25.44
to keep in a
journal, how you are feeling
00:12:25.47\00:12:27.14
at certain time of that month,
00:12:27.17\00:12:29.57
you know, believe it or not
00:12:29.60\00:12:30.97
about a week or so
as you're moving down
00:12:31.00\00:12:33.12
toward your menses
is when the body begins
00:12:33.15\00:12:35.31
do the shifting on you. Right.
00:12:35.34\00:12:37.01
And so things like journaling,
00:12:37.04\00:12:38.49
you know, how you are feeling,
00:12:38.52\00:12:39.89
you know, are you bloating
00:12:39.92\00:12:41.29
and the headaches
when they're coming.
00:12:41.32\00:12:42.84
So you can kind get a jump start
00:12:42.87\00:12:44.77
of knowing when it is
getting ready to happen and then
00:12:44.80\00:12:46.41
prepare yourself to get
ready for what's about to happen
00:12:46.44\00:12:49.20
and there are so many things
that you can do to prepare
00:12:49.23\00:12:51.61
and get ready, so
that you don't have
00:12:51.64\00:12:53.20
to go through
that. Now once again,
00:12:53.23\00:12:54.60
that walking and going to bed,
00:12:54.63\00:12:56.00
eating good nutrition
really automatically kicks in,
00:12:56.03\00:12:58.79
once you start it, once you just
00:12:58.82\00:13:00.54
start in that area. That's true.
00:13:00.57\00:13:01.94
So just keep that
idea and also it helps
00:13:01.97\00:13:03.34
when you go to
see your physician,
00:13:03.37\00:13:04.74
you are going through
some stuff that actually
00:13:04.77\00:13:06.14
once again tell him
exactly how you're feeling.
00:13:06.17\00:13:08.38
Umm! You know. Okay, wonderful
00:13:08.41\00:13:10.65
good
information. Now, I know that
00:13:10.68\00:13:12.33
women are saying
what about herbals,
00:13:12.36\00:13:14.49
if there any kind
of herbal medications
00:13:14.52\00:13:16.60
because I might be
taking something that
00:13:16.63\00:13:18.53
it's really
giving me, it's got other
00:13:18.56\00:13:20.06
side affects to it.
So I am just wondering
00:13:20.09\00:13:22.01
are there herbs that
can actually help with PMS.
00:13:22.04\00:13:24.60
Yes, absolutely when we
talk about herbal medicine
00:13:24.63\00:13:28.14
or some times I use
the word botanical medicine
00:13:28.17\00:13:30.80
because we're
talking about botany.
00:13:30.83\00:13:32.93
There is one that
simply surface up to the top
00:13:32.96\00:13:36.50
in all the medical journals
and you probably heard of it.
00:13:36.53\00:13:39.72
It's called Chaste
tree or Chaste berry,
00:13:39.75\00:13:42.42
this is herb that's
been used for many years
00:13:42.45\00:13:45.65
to relieve PMS
symptoms. And the way this works
00:13:45.68\00:13:48.36
is that chaste tree
helps to balance estrogen
00:13:48.39\00:13:53.35
and progesterone
because this is the key
00:13:53.38\00:13:56.85
culprit of PMS
symptoms with that in mind
00:13:56.88\00:14:00.83
of course this gonna
be efficacious for those
00:14:00.86\00:14:02.53
who may be experiencing
some of these symptoms.
00:14:02.56\00:14:04.45
So, I want to share
with you one of the studies
00:14:04.48\00:14:06.53
that's done on the
screen at this time about
00:14:06.56\00:14:08.26
what Chaste tree can
do. Chaste tree is sometimes
00:14:08.29\00:14:11.34
the botanical name is
Vitex, here it is folks,
00:14:11.37\00:14:14.46
the Townsend's
letters for doctors.
00:14:14.49\00:14:16.22
"In over ninety
percent of the cases,
00:14:16.25\00:14:19.82
symptoms were completely
relieved with a two percent
00:14:19.85\00:14:24.38
report of side effects. "
Umm! Chaste tree or sometimes
00:14:24.41\00:14:30.20
known as Chaste berry
and the dosage ladies again,
00:14:30.23\00:14:33.70
if you do this a few days
before the menstrual cycle,
00:14:33.73\00:14:37.55
that's why it's
very important to have
00:14:37.58\00:14:38.95
a diary, so you know,
00:14:38.98\00:14:40.35
when you are
starting and when it ends.
00:14:40.38\00:14:41.92
But again we're
looking at about 175 mgs
00:14:41.95\00:14:44.56
per day right
before the menstrual cycle
00:14:44.59\00:14:49.08
at least 3 cycles or 3 months
00:14:49.11\00:14:52.17
and therefore you can
have the great reduction
00:14:52.20\00:14:54.71
in PMS or
premenstrual tension syndrome,
00:14:54.74\00:14:57.27
the symptoms, the mood swings
00:14:57.30\00:14:59.56
can really be
enhanced just by this or
00:14:59.59\00:15:02.92
botanical medicine alone,
so Chaste tree or Chaste berry
00:15:02.95\00:15:06.09
is the one that
surfaced to the top head
00:15:06.12\00:15:09.00
and shoulders above all others
so. And there was a special
00:15:09.03\00:15:11.69
herbal tea I liked also. Okay.
00:15:11.72\00:15:13.09
And that herbal
tea was red raspberry.
00:15:13.12\00:15:14.72
Oh! That's right.
Very delicious tea
00:15:14.75\00:15:16.42
and it also
helps to calm you down,
00:15:16.45\00:15:18.38
so that's another tea
I made up a large batches
00:15:18.41\00:15:22.61
of it and I would
have it in a refrigerator
00:15:22.64\00:15:24.78
ready to drink it
when it was time as well
00:15:24.81\00:15:27.05
helps to relax
you, yes, as well.
00:15:27.08\00:15:29.18
Now I need to tell that
one to because red raspberries
00:15:29.21\00:15:32.22
been used by the
American, Indians for years
00:15:32.25\00:15:34.32
and red raspberry,
what happens is that
00:15:34.35\00:15:36.50
red raspberries
has properties in it
00:15:36.53\00:15:39.23
to help to calm smooth muscles,
00:15:39.26\00:15:42.48
the uterus is a smooth muscle,
00:15:42.51\00:15:46.54
there by they've go
for that using a tea form
00:15:46.57\00:15:49.32
back on the Chaste
berry or Chaste tree,
00:15:49.35\00:15:52.27
look at it like a
175 milligrams per day
00:15:52.30\00:15:55.06
or if you use the
drops, we suggest the drops
00:15:55.09\00:15:57.87
of alcohol free,
the concentrated drops
00:15:57.90\00:16:01.05
about 10-15 drops,
thus work well with as well.
00:16:01.08\00:16:04.97
So, I think it's
time to go into kitchen,
00:16:05.00\00:16:07.25
time to go into
kitchen, and go into the kitchen
00:16:07.28\00:16:08.65
we gonna go and fix something
that's very good for us,
00:16:08.68\00:16:10.85
doesn't make you
have any mood swings
00:16:10.88\00:16:12.45
or anything like that
and it is actually a polenta
00:16:12.48\00:16:15.05
with spaghetti sausage.
Get your paper and pencil
00:16:15.08\00:16:17.14
and meet us in the kitchen.
00:16:17.17\00:16:18.55
