What is PMDD?

Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It’s a severe and chronic health condition that causes a host of mental and physical problems. Nowadays, it’s very easy to develop hormone imbalance at a very young age due to continued exposure to chemicals, toxins, and xenoestrogens in our environment and food.  These imbalances can present as menstrual cramps, irregular or heavy menses, amenorrhea (no menses), Endometriosis, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), PMS (premenstrual syndrome), and PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder).

Why Doesn’t Conventional Medicine Solve PMDD?

Conventional medicine usually utilizes birth control pills to balance out hormones when there are many PMDD holistic treatments available. Ultimately, the root problem of hormonal imbalance via some conventional medicine can be suppressed rather than treated.

Birth control pills are synthetic Estrogen and Progestin, which are not structurally similar to our own Estrogen and Progesterone but also suppress our hormone levels and can add to the underlying causes of our problems. In other words, taking birth control pills is not a problem solver. It only masks our symptoms.

Due to exposure to plastic, synthetic Estrogen, and hormones in our meat and dairy, many women have developed Estrogen Dominance. This condition not only causes the above-mentioned issues but can also cause headaches, weight gain, irritability, sugar cravings, and anxiety.

Holistic Treatment for PMDD & Irregular Menses

A simple way to treat conditions such as PMDD, PCOS, PMS, irregular menses, amenorrhea, and endometriosis, is to utilize a powerful liver cleanse and eliminate the by-products of these unwanted hormones.

Heavy metals are major hormone disruptors and can contribute to abnormal menstruation. Dental amalgam fillings, high sushi consumption, aluminum-containing deodorants, and lead paint and pipings can increase our mercury, lead, and aluminum levels.  

Food sensitivity and gut dysbiosis can also cause hormone imbalance, making a holistic PMDD treatment essential for addressing the root causes of these imbalances.
