Premenstrual syndrome, often referred to as PMS, affects menstruating women around the time of their period. PMS presents differently in everyone; however, common symptoms include mood swings, fatigue, irritability and pain. While PMS is a naturally occurring thing, it can be extremely debilitating and unpleasant, making everyday tasks harder than usual.
A growing number of women are reporting that cannabis can help relieve some of the symptoms of PMS. There is some evidence that the THC in cannabis can help relieve the pain while CBD may help to reduce stress and mood swings. This means that ideally cannabis strains with a balance of both should be used. Examples of popular strains for helping with PMS include White Elephant, Blueberry AK and White Durban, and a complete list of strains can be found on this page.
