Noni ‘A Friend in Need’ for Women
It is reported that about three-quarters of all women have uncomfortable physiological and psychological symptoms as they approach menstruation. This condition has been classified as PMS, or premenstrual syndrome, and can range from mild to severe. Other menstrual disorders include amenorrhea, which is the absence of menstruation; menorrhea, or heavy bleeding; and dysmenorrhea, also known as severe menstrual cramps.
Some of the discomforts if not symptoms like bloating, breast tenderness, temporary weight gain, gastrointestinal distress, headaches, rashes, muscle and joint pain, fatigue, gingivitis, heart pounding, hot flashes, hyper-sensitivity to sounds and smells, agitation, and insomnia are also observed.
Not all the women but some experience these syndromes. This may be due to the hormonal imbalance between estrogen and progesterone in women. On the other hand the ovarian cysts may be due to high amounts of androgen or male hormones in the system. The presence of higher quantities of hormone called prolactin in non-pregnant or non-lactating woman can inhibit ovulation causing a menorrhea.
Thyroid hormone imbalance can also cause menstrual problems.
In a survey of the 2,573 women who consumed noni reduced painful and uncomfortable menstrual symptoms, 78 percent reported successful results.
