Guest guest Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I'm desparate. Is there a crystal that aids PMS torture? And if so, what is it and how do I use it. I don't want y'all reading about me on the news shooting people off a building next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Hiya, I'm suffering with pmt again at the mo so I really sympathise. This time round is a bit bumpy for me as I recently cut down on my daily valerian herbal tablets (for anxiety). I've started taking my old dose again but it takes a while to build up in the system, so I'm just trying to sit this one out... but it really isn't easy, is it?!! I've heard that Agnus Castus (often mispronounced 'Cactus' inc by me ;o)) is great for PMT. You'll need to take it all the time tho (for a few months) I think and it takes a while to get into your system. But I've heard of some positive results. Here's an excellent webpage about pms by Marilyn Glenville. She really knows her stuff. http://www.marilynglenville.com/pms.htm This is what she says about Agnus Castus: 'Agnus Castus is the most important herb in relation to helping PMS. It has been widely studied in relation to PMS and has shown to be extremely helpful in re-establishing a normal balance of hormones. Agnus Castus works on the pituitary gland and has a balancing effect on the hormones especially in the second half of the cycle which is why it is such an important herb for PMS symptoms.' The reason I haven't taken this is because I take Valerian all the time, because I am anxious all times of the month! This then reduces my PMS symptoms too. Another herbal option is St John's Wort - a natural antidepressant. The main thing is to find out what your imbalance is - the thing that's causing your PMS. Apart from what I've said already, it could be down to a generally too-stressful month (maybe there's something in your life that needs to change: work, relationships, how you look after yourself etc), diet (e.g. try cutting out caffeine - you'll be amazed what a difference it makes to your stress levels!), sleep and relaxation (are you getting enough through the month?), etc. Once you know the cause you can find the cure. In regard to crystals, I think it depends again what your main issue is. When I go 'off the rails' with pms I tend to abandon my crystals, which is the worst thing I could do! What helps me with pmt changes all the time, to be honest - which makes me think it depends on what's causing the issue, or what stage along my 'path' I'm at. Crystals that have helped me in the past are really my usual favourites: Rhodochrosite - really helpful during emotional times. Quietly, rationally calms you down. No heavy bump back to reality. You suddenly can see a bit more clearly, and are more accepting of what's going on, with some comforting feelings thrown in for good measure. It's great for the sacral, solar plexus and heart chakras - ideal for pmt therefore, as it works on the sacral chakra (sex organs, emotional centre), solar plexus (for self-worth, courage), and heart (for self-love and love of others). Also great for period pains - this is the one I always use for stomach cramps. Hematite - because it is grounding. Provides clarity. I find this less cushiony than rhodochrosite, but I feel it's very protective. Grounding down your energies is very important at this time, so it might be an idea to use this in conjunction with rhodochrosite. Amethyst - if you're missing a connection with your higher self then pick up some amethyst, stare into it and talk to yourself!! In my greatest times of need, I pick up amethyst, to get those rational, comforting messages. Again you can soften this off with a more cosy crystal, e.g. rose quartz. Amethyst is also great for emptying your negative emotions and thoughts into, and getting back only positive - think of the violet flame! Rose quartz - it's taken me a while to relate to this crystal, but if it's one for you then pick it up for comfort. Many people recommend this for depression. It works on the heart chakra - can feel like a hug in a crystal ;o) My latest friend is Carnelian - apparently it's great for menstrual cramps (will find out in a couple of days I expect!!!), but I'm using it at the moment because my pms is leaving me feeling terribly depressed/flat. The Carnelian lifts my spirits. I don't feel overjoyed exactly(!) but it helps put a lighter touch on my feelings. It's life force can be pretty astounding. It can remind you of the path you're on, give you courage to get through this time. If all you feel like doing is hiding under your duvet Carnelian can help you feel more motivated to get up and face what you have to do, with less of a weight on your shoulders. You might even find yourself feeling a little inspired at this time ;o) It might help you release some of your emotions in a positive way - perhaps by doing something creative? OK, that's about enough from me now. The main thing is to try things out when you feel like this. And if you find *anything* good that works for you, even just slightly, go with it. The more you try things out, the more knowledge you'll gain about why you feel this way, and the more solutions you'll have for future months. Lots of luck. And please do let us know how you get on.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 >I'd like to remind women everywhere, that our bodies, very much like crystals can communicate with us. When PMS is afflicting us (and I KNOW how bad it can get!) your body is telling you something is out of balance. Try to tune into how your body feels rather then shutting it off. Ask your body why it feels this way. PMS is not a natural part of our cycles, it is a red flag so what is your body telling you? As for crystals I've found moonstone is amazingly helpful, not only in rebalancing our energies but helping us to tune into our moon cycles and understand how it is affecting us. Rose quartz can soothe our afflictions and provide comfort and any other stone you feel helps you with insight can be helpful in understanding your body and releasing these symptoms for good! If you enjoy herbal remedies then I'd highly suggest Red Clover, Raspberry leaf, and Marshmellow Root. Wishing you many blessings and lots of love and comfort, Kat > On 15/09/2007, bootzey <bootzey wrote: > > > > I'm desparate. Is there a crystal that aids PMS torture?

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Hello, Other Herbs I have found quite helpful, and have recommended for years , are Chaste Berry/Vitex and Black cohosh. They will help with night sweats, hot flashes, nervousness, Brest pain, uterine inflammation and bleeding, vaginal dryness and fibriods.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hey dear The first thing I would recomend is that you find someone who can give you a Hurley it is a massage technique, and then I find prehnite, helps with female problems in the PMS arena as well as Garnet, rose quartz, to help deal with the stress and anxiety, as well as the combination between these two techniques which helps beyond belief. Make sure you have a good Calcium and Ester C , kelp, and by all means drink plenty of water, the rule of thumb follows 2 ounces per pound of body weight. -- Have a Happy and Keep Smiling TTFN Angelina Thelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Bootzey- I'm at the Crone stage myself--what a relief!! Some crystals that come to mind, in addition to those already mentioned: Moss agate--wonderful for all things female. Wear it on your skin for best results. Tree agate--good for water retention and very calming, helps us to connect to Mother Earth. Howlite--helps me to stay serene. I didn't like the (very slow) energy at first, but then I found a small bracelet of howlite keeps me pretty contented. Hope these will be of help for next month!

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 You may also want to try Vit B6 and complex B (buy the B6 and buy the complex and take both after meals). It will make a huge difference in your life, I can attest to it. Good luck.
