Tibb recognizes four temperaments: Phlegmatic, Sanguine, Melancholic, and Bilious. Each temperament is associated with specific dietary recommendations for PMS relief. A consultation with a qualified Tibb practitioner is recommended to determine your dominant temperament and receive personalized dietary advice.
Consume high-quality fruits, vegetables, and yogurt for essential vitamins and minerals. Choose lean protein sources like fish and chicken over red meat. Limit processed foods, sugar, and refined carbohydrates. Reduce salt intake a week before your period. Consider foods rich in calcium, such as sesame seeds, celery, and oranges. Avoid or minimize caffeine and alcohol before your period.
Rosemary Tea: Steep a teaspoon of dried rosemary leaves in hot water for a calming pre-menstrual beverage. Evening Primrose Oil: Consider taking evening primrose oil supplements to potentially reduce cramping and mood swings. (Consult your doctor before starting any supplements.) Poppy Seed and Almond Drink: Blend 2 teaspoons of poppy seeds, 10 almonds, and milk with honey for a breakfast drink that may help ease symptoms. Fennel, Cumin, and Cardamom Decoction: Prepare a decoction by boiling fennel seeds, cumin, and cardamom in water, straining, and drinking to potentially alleviate symptoms.
Breathing Exercises: Regular practice of Tibb deep breathing exercises can help reduce irritability, anxiety, and mood swings. Physical Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity, even for 30 minutes a day, can improve mood, reduce stress, and regulate blood sugar levels. Sleep Hygiene: Prioritize adequate sleep (7-8 hours per night) in the days leading up to your period to manage symptoms. Relaxation Techniques: Consider taking a warm bath with Epsom salts, getting a massage, or practicing meditation to reduce stress and anxiety. Mindfulness: Focusing on the present moment and accepting physical and emotional changes can be beneficial.
