Before menstruation, women often experience some physiological and psychological reactions and symptoms due to changes in hormone levels in the body, such as headaches, fatigue, constipation, weight gain and increased appetite, dull and sensitive skin, and mood swings. This is medically known as premenstrual syndrome (PMS). A balanced diet and increased intake of legumes and calcium can help regulate hormone secretion and balance emotions. In addition, practicing yoga asanas has a significant effect in relieving the symptoms of PMS. After finishing the asana practice, you can close your eyes and meditate for more than ten minutes, which will be more effective. 1. Warrior II Stand with your feet wide apart.
