PMS is without a
doubt one of the most unpleasant problems plaguing women today.
This is not a new problem, it was once very accurately called hysteria.
But, today very few seem to understand why it was given this
anatomical rather than psychological name.
"Hyster" literally meaning uterus indicates
that hysteria is a female uterine weakness rather than an
emotional disturbance as is often alluded to.
For a multitude of reason the
uterus at times does not
allow the menstrual/blood wastes to properly be eliminated monthly
through this specifically designed organ. This problem is
very similar to intestinal constipation only in this case it is
occurring in the uterus. With intestinal constipation it is well
known that the wastes that should be eliminated get reabsorbed
producing many other ailments. This same logic is not being
applied to the uterus. If it were PMS and Menopause would be
clearly understood and easily solvable.
The toxins begin retained by the
uterus would also back up into the bloodstream. This would
explain why so many women during their menstrual cycles can
taste their own menstrum in their mouths or it can be smelled in
their pours. This can only happen if the a part of the menstrum,
like any toxin, courses in the blood stream.
Any toxin (non disposed of
metabolic waste) coursing in the bloodstream narcoticises to
a varying degree. This in principle would have a
narcotic effect on anyone male or female and is not
exclusive to women. In the same way
as someone might react to alcohol, valium, too much sugar,
too much or too little of a specific hormone or other
substance the woman depending on her disposition will react
when these toxins pass through the heart. The result is
PMS and is therefore not necessarily directly hormonally related and
has been well understood in Traditional Herbal Theory for
millennia. That abnormal levels of hormone are in the blood
stream is not being denied; but were the menstrual process in
good order the PMS would not occur because the complete
evacuation of the menstrum would prevent the problem. Abnormally
profuse menstrual bleeding, like diarrhea is not necessarily an
indication that what needs to be eliminated is being eliminated.
It is
very interesting to note however, that in the present day this
problem like many others occurs more frequently and with greater debilitation,
especially in modern industrialized societies.
The female is the host for life. Her body and its unique
chemistry accepts and incubates life. Many chemicals entering
the female body flourish within it creating among other things
what have been generally coined as “hormonal imbalances.”
