Practitioners of Chinese traditional medicine have studied the therapeutic effects and benefits of ashitaba many years ago. There are several other advantages of taking ashitaba (tomorrow leaves). Among these is that ashitaba helps to treat pre-menstrual symptoms and menopausal problems.
Ashitaba Plant for Women
If you are a woman who is encountering irregular patterns of your monthly menstrual cycle, let me elucidate the goodness of ashitaba for you. Another case is that when you suddenly stopped menstruating after a long period of time. Such incident happened to me last year when I only had three occurrences of menstruating months spread through the entire year. If I remember correctly, those were March, August and the next February.
On one hand, I thought I was lucky because I can save money to buy napkin (or tampon, for some women’s case). I also could swim every weekend without being concerned about getting the pool infested with blood. Besides these, I can move and walk fast without any hassles. On the other hand, I felt worried because I am aware that there will be consequences later on. I may have cyst in the uterus, problems in forming a fetus when I want to become a mother myself and others.
I once consulted a doctor and she told me reasons for not menstruating are that because I was too stressed with work, I was involving myself with too many strenuous exercises to keep my figure fit and I was not completely having a balanced diet.
I am a vegetarian and I might have not had enough dietary supplements to fulfill the missing elements my body needs. That was when I was living in Singapore. When I came back to the Philippines last March, I had like two months of vacation before entering the competitive work environment again. Therefore I had time to rest.
As stress levels were reduced at max, my diet also was enhanced because my Mom started giving me vitamins and advised me to take ashitaba in powder form as well. In the succeeding months until now, I have not encountered anymore problems related to PMS and the irregularity of my menstrual cycle. I am so happy that I am back to normal! Moving on, I will explain how ashitaba can be of help to you in the following section.
Ashitaba Treats Menstrual Problems
Ashitaba is great at removing the stagnation of blood in the uterus, which in operation helps to increase blood flow, activates the “qi” and solves many menstrual difficulties. Also, ashitaba has a warming effect on the uterus, which assists in relieving menstrual pains.
Maybe it works the same as the rice wine or any other type of wine which my mom always asks me to drink whenever I have my period. I am also not allowed to drink any cold or cooling drinks as these will hinder the effect of ashitaba and/or the wine. I also noticed that menstrual cramps and pains are gone.
Taking ashitaba made me this comfortable!
Further, ashitaba practically treats gynecological conditions that are generally not easily treated with conventional therapies. It can provide options beyond hormone replacement therapy and hysterectomies. So if you are a woman in your middle forties to early fifties, you are recommended to take ashitaba to keep your hormones balanced and maintain good menstruation just before your system turns to the menopausal stage. The good thing is that it does not have any stimulating effect so you can take it really frequently regardless of age.

It's nice to see the wonders of Ashitaba and helping you having your normal PMS cycle. Singapore is really a stressful place to work.
Right. Good thing I have graduated from all those stresses and my life is quite back into normal now while occasionally meeting stress still in my work but reduced about a half. 😉
One of my friends actually bleeds for weeks, with 1-week rest intervals because of a cyst in her uterus. Do you think Ashitaba can help with that?
Hi Mai, I'm not a doctor and I'm afraid to recommend any prescription especially if your friend's case sounds grave. It's still best to check with a physician. I hope she finds the solution soon. I think ashitaba can help maintaining her overall health though. At some point, that may help but not entirely cure.
It's really nice that there are great remedies nowadays that relieves pms. Having such is really dreadful as based on my experience. Thanks for sharing

Yeah ashitaba works as a natural remedy to fight hormonal changes that create an imbalance in a woman's body. If you are having mood swings, getting enough sun or light is good for a better mood.
This is good news to all women. At least they could be relieved from this sickness. In fact, I have no idea what is PMS.
You're just lucky, Gil, because you're man. 😀 "Ugh!!" can be a word to simplify description of PMS. Anyway, PMS occurs to many women as we have menstrual flow every month. Along with this are the emotional and physical symptoms including headaches, backaches, bloating, mood changes (even anxiety and depression) and other irritation.
My wife would definitely benefit from this medicine.

Yup. Aside from battling PMS symptoms and other sicknesses related to hormonal imbalances, ashitaba can be taken for better overall fitness and general health. It can fight cancers, insomnia, depression, high blood pressure, diabetes, and the list goes on. 😀
Ashitaba healing PMS sounds a good idea. Before I have tried heating pads and they work, too (just not the preventive type).
Heating pads do work for me as well, especially when I feel chilly and having strong cramps.
I really need to buy this online for my hubby. Right now he needs herbal medicine and I believe Ashitaba is a great one for him.
