He composed the treatise in brief code words known as 'Sutras'. 'Yoga Sutra' is the most important basic text on Yoga. It is through this basic treatise that the essential message of yoga spread throughout the world.

Yoga For Women

Yoga for PMS (Pre-menstrual Syndrome) and Menstrual Cramps

Menstruation is a natural monthly cycle in Women. It is approximately the monthly vaginal discharge in humans and other mammals. The discharge consists of blood and cells which sheds from the lining of the uterus. The bleeding can last from two to seven days and signifies that no conception has taken place. The main hormones involved in controlling Menstruation are estrogen and progesterone. The cycle begins when a dormant egg cell within an ovary begins to ripen. The cells around this maturing egg cell then release estrogen which prompts the lining of the endometrium to thicken as preparation for the receipt of fertilized egg. When the egg matures, ovulation begins. In ovulation, the matured egg will burst from the ovary and go down to the fallopian tube to the uterus. The cells that are left behind after ovulation will then begin the production of progesterone. This hormone, the progesterone, is responsible for the further growth of the endometrium. Menstruation is experienced by women between puberty and Menopause can start between the age of 8 and 18 and last until between ages 40 and 60. The Menstrual Cycle of most women is about 28 days, though it can vary considerably from one month to another. Though Menstruation is normal, some women experience some dilemma during their monthly periods. Some experience Menstrual Cramps or Dysmenorrhea, or Pre-menstrual Syndrome. DysmenorrheaDysmenorrhea is a Greek word which literally means "Painful Menstruation". These are abdominal and pelvic pains experienced before and during Menstruation. Menstrual Cramps may last for hours or up to three days. The cramps may be mildly or severely painful and can be debilitating and can interfere in regular activities, sometimes leading to absences from work, school or other functions. Dysmenorrhea is caused by uterine contractions and can be aggravated by emotional stress. Dysmenorrhea can be classified into Primary Dysmenorrhea and Secondary Dysmenorrhea. Primary Dysmenorrhea Primary Dysmenorrhea is the more common form of Dysmenorrhea. It is the form of Dysmenorrhea that occurs with no underlying cause or not caused by any pelvic lesion. It can be caused by platelet aggregation, vasoconstriction, or dysrhythmic contractions with pressure higher than systemic blood pressure. It is also believed to be caused by prostaglandins, a hormone-like substance produced by the uterine tissue, which triggers strong muscle contractions in the uterus during Menstruation. Genetics, stress, Obesity, cigarette smoking and body type also play a part since some Women has high prostaglandin levels but do not experience Menstrual Cramps. Primary Dysmenorrhea symptoms include Headaches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The pain usually occurs a few hours before the bleeding, comes to a peak within a few hours, and subsided within one to two days. Rest, heating pad on abdomen or back, aerobic exercise, nutrition, and medication are common therapies for Primary Dysmenorrhea. A balanced diet which includes an adequate amount of calcium, adequate fluid intake and Vitamin B6 can be great help in preventing or alleviating the pain. Medication may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen, and hormonal alternation of the Menstrual cycle. Hormonal alternation includes the use of oral contraceptives to prevent ovulation and decrease the thickness of the uterine lining which result to lesser prostaglandin production.

Dysmenorrhea is related to the presence of pelvic lesions such as endometriosis (imrrheaSplant of endometrial tissue outside the uterus), adenomyosis (benign growth of endometrial tissue in the uterine walls), pelvic inflammation, congenital uterine or vaginal abnormalities, leiomyoma, or cervical stenosis. The use of Inrauterine Device can also cause Secondary Dysmenorrhea. Pain starts a few days before Menstruation and usually lasts several days after onset of flow. The onset of the peak period does not happen as clearly or quickly as Primary Dysmenorrhea. The pain may also occur at other times of the month. Symptoms include continuous pain, tenderness of the pelvis, nausea, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, quivering, rapid heartbeat, and sweating. Secondary Dysmenorrhea can also be treated with the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or acetaminophen. Birth control pills can also be effective. However, the treatment of this kind of Dysmenorrhea depends on the cause. Surgical or medical treatment may be needed.Premenstrual Syndrome(PMS)Another form of Menstrual disorder is the Premenstrual Syndrome or PMS. This is characterized by uncomfortable mental and physical symptoms that can occur up to two weeks prior to the onset of Menstruation. Though most experts believed that it is caused by the estrogen level, they also consider that a combination of psychological, genetic, nutritional, and behavioral factors are likely to be involved. Some psychological manifestations of PMS include Anxiety, Depression, irritability, anger, confusion, forgetfulness and the exacerbation of existing Psychiatric Ailments. Physical symptoms include tenderness of breasts, Migraine, nausea, changes in energy level, swelling of arms and legs, feeling bloated, back pain and difficulty in sleeping. Treatment for PMS includes the intake of vitamins and minerals like calcium, Vitamin B6 and magnesium.
