OctoberGirl asked:
I’ve recently been experiencing awful PMS…I never have before. I don’t want to take any prescribed medication. Is there an herbal, or dietary supplement that will alleviate these horrible symptoms. I’m 42, and I don’t think I’m pre-menepausal yet.

Hug a tree on your way to pick up some sarafem and/or midol.
Since you wanted homeopathic advice, my advice is that you should not try to self-medicate or take those mixtures which are advertised online as homeopathic, but meet a good homeopath and get treated. All the best.
It’s a daily thing. You must cut down your daily intake to one cup a day at most. Not exactly sure how that works, but it’s improved my symptoms alone. But that wasn’t enough for me- cutting my fat intake/ also lessened the painful clots. (gross I know, but an undesireable fact that heavy clotting equates with heavy pain)
Take a daily vitamin suppliment with iron. Smoking decreases your body’s iron levels (the mineral that indicates how much oxygen in the blood there is). That said, getting more oxygen into your system has been the #1 big time help for my most severe symptoms (pain and emotional discord) I excercise everyday, and not only do I look smokin’ hot, I feel like a human being, even on my period!

Its hormonal changes, I am your age, with 5 children, my symptoms came a lot earlier, 34, with so many changes, even my personality. Constantly mad on something, getting upset for no reason, crying, fearing of things, heavy periods,and so on. I was on birth control pills for 4 years, nothing helped,just 25 pounds heavier. I consult a naturist doctor, that treat her patients with natural hormones only, and I started with progesterone cream, and vitamin B6 100mg. Waw, what a difference, my family were the first one to notice.
Its worth to try. Good luck!!!!!
The best product you can buy is at bee royal products dot com get the fresh royal jelly liquid, its a quality food supplement that balances your hormones NATURALLY its an amazing product, it will take away the PMS , make you feel good and give you more energy. I can not live with out !
I find a huge difference in PMS symptoms depending upon what I eat. And I mean all month long, not just during the PMS prime time.
First, most people say avoid caffeine. So if you drink coffe, etc. cut back.
For me, I don’t tolerate glutens (wheat or processed food) well in general, and if I eat lots of that type of stuff my PMS increases dramatically.
Also, many people are deficient in magnesium which can add to PMS. If you take magnesium in a form that is easy to assimilate (i.e. not in a hard pill — use CALM brand or magnesium oil that is easy to absorb) this may help you a lot.
I’ve also been told to take castor oil (3 tablespoons, can be mixed in warm water with lemon) 10 days prior to the period. While this helps me I **** the stuff so don’t do it every month — I know if I actually followed this advice it would work wonders.
Good luck to you!
calcium and magnesium can help.Also essential fatty acids.cramp bark.
the best thing that i have used…and have heard several personal experiences of others…is a soy-based progesterone creme call phytoprolief. you use it twice a day according to your cycle….and it helps to balance out your hormones which must be off kilter or you would not be having problems. your body is trying to talk to you…..it is amazing….and i know so many women who will not live without it.
there is a great book called “what your doctor may not tell you about premenopause” which is where the company got a lot of the research for the product.
