Natural Remedies For PMS & Period Symptoms
(That Actually Work)

Emotionally, do you...
- Dread the emotional rollercoaster before your period—when even though you know it’s PMS, it still feels like everyone else is the problem, and the tension simmers and builds until one small thing sets you off
- Sob to animal reels, random commercials, or for no reason at all—and feel like you’re volatile and completely crazy for a week each month
- Go from genuinely looking forward to social plans to canceling everything because you feel low, antisocial, and just want to be left alone
- Feel exhausted and drained, especially before or during your period, no matter how much you sleep
Physically...
- Your skin breaks out in embarassing hormonal acne around the same time every month
- Your period brings painful cramps that disrupt your day or keep you curled up with a heat pack
- You deal with recurring yeast infections and are tired of only getting short-term relief
- Your breasts get sore and swollen before your bleed and make you feel like you need 3 bras to prevent movement
- Your belly feels heavy and bloated, and you need to swap out jeans for sweats
- You’ve missed a period, have an irregular cycle, or never quite know when it will show up as a pleasant little surprise and ruin yet another pair of underwear
- You’re changing your period product way too often because of heavy bleeding—and avoiding plans or staying home out of fear you’ll overflow in public
- You get headaches or migraines that are clearly linked to your cycle—making it hard to concentrate at work or show up for your responsibilities
If even one of those felt like I was describing your life, this guide is for you. You’ll learn what your symptoms are really trying to tell you—and how to start getting real, natural relief.

Hi! I'm Arya, founder of Downstairs Alchemy
Our mission is to help females alleviate their menstrual cycle symptoms, naturally & holistically.
For years, I dealt with intense period cramps, PMS that left me irritable and depressed the week before my period, hormonal acne, bloating, sore breasts, and recurring yeast infections in the second half of my cycle.
I didn’t even realize my mood changes were related to my hormones—
I just thought it was part of who I was.
I was put on hormonal birth control to manage my symptoms, but it only covered them up temporarily and made things worse in the long run. I tried restrictive diets, and spent way too much $$$ on skincare thinking it would clear the acne.
Nothing truly helped.
Everything changed when I studied naturopathy in France and learned about root causes, how the systems of the body are connected, and how to support the body instead of suppressing symptoms. Things would’ve been so much easier if I had someone like me back then—so now, I make it my mission to be that person for others.
You Don’t Have To Suffer For Any Longer
“Aside from the valuable information shared about the interaction between diet, lifestyle, and body systems, what I loved the most was Arya’s very “human” approach to the entire process.”
