This second half of the month aka the Luteal phase (weeks 3 and 4), is when PMS symptoms like cramps and muscle and joint pain can feel sharper, due to heightened prostaglandins. A massage, using Kavana' PHYTO-5 Muscle Balm, can be a helpful support, thanks to essential oils that feel variously heating and cooling on the skin. It can also offer quick relief to tired muscles after a pilates sesh, yoga class or weights workout. Estrogen has powerful anti-inflammatory effects, and its decline during perimenopause and menopause disrupts this protective balance, leading to a cascade of low-grade inflammation. The decline in estrogen and the resulting inflammation can affect virtually every organ in the body, as many organs contain estrogen receptors. Studies have shown that postmenopausal women have elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6 and TNF-α, indicating a systemic inflammatory state. While weight lifting has been proven to be beneficial for women in peri and menopause, joint and muscle pain can still occur, making Kavana's Muscle Balm a helpful support to have in your gym bag.
