Question:
Your complete guide to PMS and natural herbal relief!
Answer:
If you are going to try doctoring yourself with the use of herbs, make
sure you study each one thoroughly and take care to note the
interactions one has with another. The wrong potion can give you
heart, liver, and kidney problems. A great relief from PMS is good old
exercise. When you increse your physical activity and heart rate, your
body releases endorphins which make you feel good.

Hey Anonymous, how are you doing?

Supplements help some women as well. Medicines may not completely relieve all your symptoms, and they are not always necessary.

Premenstrual syndrome (known as PMS) involves a variety of physical, mental, and behavioral symptoms tied to a woman’s menstrual cycle. By definition, symptoms occur during the days before a woman's period starts and they usually go away after the first day or two of flow.

Because many different processes may contribute to PMS, methods of treatment vary widely and can include medical and alternative approaches. Surgery is a last resort.

Eat a well-balanced diet and avoid salt, candy, sodas, and sugary foods during the week before your period. Small, frequent meals during the premenstrual week may help keep blood sugar at a steady level and reduce cravings.

Studies do not agree about how much vitamin E may be helpful, but 300-400 IU per day is a safe dose that may be of benefit. Some women get relief being careful to take at least 1,200 mg of calcium per day, through a combination of normal eating and taking supplements.

One study of magnesium (200 mg/day) with 50 mg of vitamin B6 showed a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms, compared to magnesium alone. Food sources of magnesium include nuts, legumes, whole grains, dark green vegetables, seafood (oysters), and meats.

Regular aerobic exercise and relaxation techniques can help to relieve many of the mood symptoms found with PMS. If you have symptoms of PMS that do not go away within 3-4 days of the start of your period, call your doctor.
