Natural Remedies for PMS

Friday January 9, 2004
Most women experience physical and emotional changes each month before menses. For some women, however, these changes are exaggerated and range from breast tenderness to irritability and mood swings. These symptoms are called premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

PMS symptoms follow a predictable pattern. They occur in the two weeks before each menstrual period and subside with the onset of menses or within a couple of days of menstrual flow. There is a seven day symptom-free interval in the first half of the cycle. Learn more about PMS and what natural remedies are available.
