PMS Relief

PMS has been described as cyclically reoccurring symptoms--physical, psychological, and behavorial--that manifest in the second half of the menstrual cycle. To a varying degree, these symptoms afflict the majority of women; in about 10-15% of women, PMS can cause severe distress. Symptoms of PMS usually disappear with or shortly after the onset of the menstrual period. They are usually not present in the preovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle.

Some physical changes include, but are not limited to: breast tenderness, bloating, swelling, headaches, weight-gain, and fatigue. Some psychological and behavioral symptoms include, but are not limited to: irritability, occasional hostility and anger, tension and restlessness, crying spells, and changes in libido.
