PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME (PMS)

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is often thought of as having a low or irritable mood associated with hormonal changes. However, women may experience many other symptoms in addition to mood changes, such as low energy, cramps, bloating, headaches, acne, food cravings, and feeling cold.  It is important to assess hormone levels with specific lab testing and make sure the problem is not associated with a different health issue (i.e. thyroid problem). After a detailed medical history and lab testing is complete, we have a variety of natural treatment options including acupuncture, herbal products, and nutritional supplements that can help manage PMS symptoms.
