Ladies, what is the worst part of your period? I know most of you will say the cramps, headaches, and bloating. I get them too, but that’s not what I would say. Honestly, the worst part of my period is before the period even comes. We’ve all suffered it at some point: PMS.

If you’re unsure what PMS is—be thankful—it stands for Premenstrual Syndrome. It happens between ovulation and your period, and can affect your emotions, health, and behavior. For me, I always know when my period is about to start because I feel miserable the days leading up to it. Not just physically, but mentally as well; I don’t want to get out of bed, I’m tired all the time, and have constant mood swings. It can be just as debilitating as my actual period, sometimes even more-so. I know so many women who have said their PMS is worse than their period. If you’ve come across this post, I’m sure you can understand the pain.

Okay, so PMS is horrible. What’s the cure? Sadly, I have bad news: there is no one cure-all treatment. Experts recommend having medicine prescribed, like antidepressants or hormonal contraceptives, but that’s not ideal, not to mention expensive. Others say that just exercising and drinking lots of water will alleviate symptoms; while that may be good for my body, I definitely don’t want to be exercising right before my period.

When I first began getting PMS, I was upset at the lack of treatments, especially when it affects my emotions. I can take medication for any physical pain I have, but what about when I’m too sad to even take care of myself? For a long time, I thought I was going to have to deal with it every month. But, my research has finally paid off. I’ve learned there is another option, one that can help with all our PMS symptoms: physically and mentally.

Yoni steaming, when done correctly and with the right herbs, can soothe any symptoms of PMS you might have. Here at The Cookie Jar in Cincinnati, we have a Cookie Blend that is specialized to help PMS. Our blend contains calendula, yarrow, motherwort and Mexican oregano, and works by easing cramps and decreasing bleeding. Not only does it help with your physical pains, but yoni steaming is a spiritual experience. You come out of the session feeling refreshed, enlightened, and ready to take on the world. It can be an escape from reality, if you let it.

Sound enticing? Good. If you’re ready to stop having to deal with your PMS symptoms every month, set up a steam session here at The Cookie Jar. For an affordable price, you can feel relaxed and in touch with your body. If you’re not located in Cincinnati, or are unsure about coming in for a session, we also sell fresh herbal blends and yoni steam basins that can be delivered right to your door. You are free to steam in the comfort of your home (make sure you read the instructions before use)!
