Kava Kava, and don't drive your car! They(government) already want to take it away from us.It's the greatest PMS cure out there, and excellent sleep aid. Chamomile tea is another. But don't do either in excess!

PMT?  Do you mean PMS?  If so, go to GNC or other herbal remedy store and get VITEX or Chaste Berry.  It works wonders for cramps and mood swings!\n\nIf you don't mean PMS, then I have no idea what you mean and can't help you.

Peppermint tea will probably help, avoid caffiene, alcohol and anything too sugary

Oh, honey, I am so sorry!  This is exactly why I had to go off the pill.  You would think it would make you more even-tempered, but NO.  At least not in my case, and apparently not in yours, either!  That's not to say I don't still have PMS ... but one thing that helps is being able to know what it is.  When you know you're reaching that time of the month, prepare yourself & your family!  As soon as I can tell myself (and my family) that I'm in a foul mood due to PMS, I feel like I can better control it.  Other than that, I would say you can ask your dr. if it's okay to take things like St. John's Wort, or if he has other suggestions.  He may suggest a lower dose of the pill, but it sounds like you've already tried that.  But he may have other suggestions as well.  I feel for you ... it's not fun for anybody!

Hormones. Don't ya love em? Maybe yours dropped a lot this month....or increased a lot. More than usual. Each month there's a increase and a decrease in hormones. This is what causes cravings, headaches, body aches, bloating.....\n\nHope you start to feel better soon.

Many women respond to this time of month differently, I would suggest fresh mint, and pepto bismol. Avoid greasy foods for the week before, cut back on your sugar intake, and take magnesium and calcium.

I've heard various things, like wait 10 minutes or go for a walk.  I'd say wait the 10 minutes and if you still have the craving, go ahead and have whatever it is but try and make it a small portion.  I don't think there's any real way to stop a craving - but I have also heard that after a couple weeks of not eating something (sugar, butter - whatever), you won't want it any more.  I've never been able to hold out long enough to test that theory!

7 Tips To Reduce Menstrual Cramps\n\nDid you know that menstrual cramps is the single greatest cause of lost school and working hours among women?\n\nAlso known as dysmenorrhea, menstrual cramps are the cause of an estimated 140 million hours of lost school and work. However, you do not have to live in pain. Below are some helpful tips that can help women during this particularly painful time of the month.\n\n1. Try to eat smaller, more frequent meals. A lot of food\ncauses blood sugar to rise and fluctuate. instead of eating three large meals, eat five or six small meals a day, each about two and a half hours apart.\n\n2. Exercise. Exercise can help alleviate menstrual cramps by raising the level of beta-endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain associated with pain relief. Studies have shown that beta endorphins have a positive effect on mood and behavior.\n\n3. Try an over the counter Ibuprofen. Advil, Nuprin, and Motrin IB all contain Ibuprofen, which is one of the best pain relievers around. 200 milligrams every four to six hours is the recommended dosage, or twice that if symptoms warrant.\n\n4. Oral contraceptive pills: Have been found to decrease the amount of menstrual tissue formed and lower the pain level (amplitude) of the uterine contractions.\n\n5. Mefenamic acid: Also found over the counter, effectively relieves severe menstrual pain while also reducing heavy menstrual bleeding, easing menstrual migraine, and easing the\nphysical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.\n\n6. Reduce salt intake: To prevent water retention that causes bloating. Also, avoid liquor and other alcoholic beverages to reduce headaches.\n\n7. Learn to relax. Rest, sleep and relaxation exercises can help reduce the pain and discomfort of menstrual cramps. A relaxing massage or bath with oil made with chamomile, lavender, marjoram, ginger and/or clary sage. They are aromatic and can aid in relaxation.\n\nNever surrender to pain. There are steps you can take to help alleviate the pain and discomfort. So, the next time you experience any painful menstruation symptoms, be sure to try these tips.

First of all, try not to keep too many sweets in the house and when you start craving sweets drink a big glass of water and eat a piece of fruit. Then if you are still hungry or craving food, eat a little piece and cooncentrate on how good it tastes. Dont just swallow it, really enjoy it! Good luck!
