PMS Survival Kit – Herbal Teas, Seeds & Superfoods That Help Me Every Month
Build your PMS survival kit with teas, seeds, and Ayurvedic remedies that reduce bloating, mood swings, and cramps. My exact monthly routine.I used to dread the last 10 days of every cycle.
Bloating. Cravings. Rage. Brain fog. Cramps.
And that strange combination of emotional meltdowns and physical heaviness that left me feeling completely out of control.
But now, I handle it with kindness — and my PMS survival kit.
No hormone pills. No painful period hacks. Just gut-healing ingredients, herbal teas, and superfoods that truly support my body.
Here’s what I use before and during my period — and how you can create your own PMS & hormone support kit at home too.
Why PMS Support Should Start from the Gut
In Ayurveda, PMS happens due to:
Aggravated Vata (cramps, anxiety)
Increased Pitta (rage, acne, inflammation)
Weak Agni (bloating, fatigue)
If you support your digestion, hormones, and nervous system, PMS symptoms reduce without any synthetic meds.

No more extreme mood swings

Final Tip: Listen to Your Body, Not Just the Calendar
Some months, my cramps are louder. Other months, it’s the mood swings. That’s why this PMS survival kit isn’t rigid — I adjust it based on how I feel. If I’m extra bloated, I double the fennel tea. If I’m low on energy, I focus on jaggery and ghee. What matters most is building a ritual that feels nourishing, not punishing. Be consistent, but be kind. This is your body asking for softness — not discipline. And trust me, once you start showing up for yourself this way, your cycle transforms from a burden into a rhythm.
