An Herbal Preparation that Relieves Symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to a wide range of symptoms that commonly effect women one to two weeks before their period (menstruation) begins. The specific causes of PMS are unknown, but fluctuating hormone levels during the menstrual cycle appear to play an important role. PMS can lead to both physical and mental complications; anxiety, depression, mood swings, irritability, insomnia, muscle pain, headache, fatigue, weight gain, and breast tenderness are just some of the many possible symptoms. While all these symptoms are associated with PMS, most women only experience one or a few of them. The severity of premenstrual syndrome varies from woman to woman. For some PMS is merely a minor nuisance; for others, the physical pain and emotional stress is overwhelming. Women with these disabling symptoms suffer from the most severe form of PMS – premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
