Are There Any Herbal Remedies To Help With Severe PMT?

First of all, big sympathy! Here are a few ideas for you of some treatments which might help:\nChamomile - in tea form - you'll want one which contains the flowers not the leaves too, preferably Dr. Stewart's, as it contains the essential oils too. Add honey, otherwise it's an acquired taste. This will relax you. Dr. Stewart's also do a brilliant herbal tea called "Tranquility" which really does de-stress you powerfully. It doesn't taste very nice, and you will want to add some honey, but it certainly does the trick!!\n\nEvening Primrose Oil capsules - helps with mood swings, and water retention. Always a good idea for women to take this every day, as it's good with balancing oestrogen (so I understand).\n\nEssential oils (either a few drops mixed into a carrier oil for massaging into pulse points if you're on the go, or a few drops in the bath, or used in an oil burner - put some water in the dish, add a few drops and light the tea-light, making sure the dish doesn't burn dry):\nLavendar (relaxing), clary sage (reviving, mood-balancing, uplifting), rose or ylang ylang (uplifting). Geranium, chamomile, and neroli are all uplifting, and frankincense is relaxing, uplifting and good for meditation (always a good idea when suffering from PMT) and clear-headedness.\n\nDark chocolate releases endorphins into the bloodstream, helps boost the immune system, and is a super-food (more of the good stuff and less of the fatty stuff than you get in milk chocolate). So I'd recommend eating a few squares of that if you need an extra little lift.\n\nHope this helps, and remember you're not alone in this - isn't nature fun? At least it gives us some ways of making it better!

This is from CNN Interactive Health:\nHealth\nCalcium may be the key to taming premenstrual pain\nmilk\nCalcium from sources such as milk may reduce PMS symptoms in some women  \nAugust 25, 1998\nWeb posted at: 12:22 p.m. EDT (1622 GMT)\n\nI would make sure you balance that with Magnesium and Vitamin D, both of which are need for proper utilization of calcium.  \n\nThis helped me a lot.  \n\nFrom Medical Correspondent Dr. Steve Salvatore\n\nNEW YORK (CNN) -- For men ... and women, PMS may be one of medicine's most misunderstood conditions.\n\nBut for estimated 30 million women who regularly suffer the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, like Anne Maillard, PMS is not myth.\n\n"When a woman has PMS, it's like she's in an altered state," Maillard said. "It's like, you know, someone speaks to you and you just snap at them."\n\nMany women try to combat the symptoms of PMS with over-the-counter pain remedies. But a new study says a natural alternative, calcium, may be the best answer.\n\nThe research, funded in part by the maker of Tums, a popular antacid and calcium supplement, studied more than 400 premenopausal women across the United States.\n\n"Within three months, there was a 50 percent reductions of symptoms," said Dr. Susan Thys-Jacobs of St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital. "Symptoms such as mood swings, tension, headaches and cramping were all alleviated with calcium."\nsupplements\nCalcium may be taken in supplement form if necessary  \n\nFood cravings also dropped by half, and water retention decreased by more than one-third.\n\nResearchers don't know exactly how calcium reduces the physical and psychological symptoms of PMS, but they have discovered another calcium-PMS link. PMS may be an early warning sign for osteoporosis, the so-called brittle bone condition that affects millions of women, especially after menopause.\n\n"We've never really had a marker for this bone loss," Thys-Jacobs said. "Now I think we have it.\n\n"Now we have a premenstrual syndrome that is manifesting as a calcium deficient state.\n\nShe recommended women take in at least 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day. That translates into three to four glasses of milk, or three to four yogurts a day.\n\nBut when that's not possible, doctors recommend calcium supplements.\n\n"Choose a chewable tablet; stay with that tablet," Thys-Jacobs said. "If you have premenstrual symptoms you should see an effect within two to three months."

Home remedies for an enlarged prostate\n\nFor night-time frequency, drink as little fluid as possible after 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. Cut down on caffeine-containing liquids (tea, coffee, colas). At the very least, don't drink them or alcoholic beverages after dinner. \nGet up and urinate as soon as you feel the first night-time urge, then stand there for a minute and urinate again. If you get a fair amount out, repeat this one more time. \nRelax, or learn to relax if you don't know how. \nReduce the fat content of your diet. \nHave intercourse frequently. Ejaculation will remove prostatic fluid and shrink the prostate. (See, it's true, every rain cloud has a silver lining.) \nGet some physical exercise. \nAvoid antihistamines and other over-the-counter decongestants and cold remedies. \nAvoid cold weather if possible. \nSoak in a warm bath or hot tub for 20 minutes two or three times per day. The heat of the water will penetrate the prostate to reduce swelling and promote healing. \nAvoid prolonged sitting. A man sits on his prostate. If the onset of symptoms coincides with physical activity (biking, exercise), increased sitting (includes car and plane), or a new chair, your routine should be changed. \nThere is some debate regarding whether zinc is of benefit to the prostate. Zinc in quantities of 30-60 mg daily can be tried if you are interested. These preparations can be obtained at various health food stores. \nA medicine from the berry of a saw palmetto tree has been used in Europe as an herbal treatment for enlarged prostates. There are some scientific studies that document an improvement, and many men state that they have had marked reduction in their urinary symptoms. Although saw palmetto hasn't been shown to affect PSA levels, it is important if you elect to take this medicine that you make your physician aware at the time of any PSA blood test being performed. \n\nDiscover how a breakthrough combination of\n3 powerful healing herbs can...\nFlush Prostate Disorders\nOut Of Your Body!\ngo to:  www.prostatehealing.com

I've had this problem for many, many years as well.  There is an herbal remedy that has been used since the Victorian era called valerian root that has worked for me from time to time.  You can buy it just about anywhere you can vitamins.  It is not FDA approved, but there is a vast amount of information regarding it's use and side affects on any internet search.  Just like anything, I will build up an immunity to it after awhile, so I'll take a break from it time to time.  You can get in either a tea or pill form, and a word of caution---it has a strong smell.

Hi, Kelly!  I am a Reiki practitioner and an Herbalist, and a mom of 2 boys who have ADHD, one of whom was agressive - much, much less now. \n  I agree with the Oatstraw (Aveena Sativa) and the dietary recommendations.  Since there is very little way to stop all preservatives (school lunch, parties, etc) I also give my boys Flax Seed Oil as it has been proven effective as a blood cleanser.  It also has the Omega 3 fatty acids that people with neurological problems are deficient in.  Cinnamon is wonderful also...it helps keep their blood sugar stable, and helps metabolize any extra sugar.  Other than that, I just make sure their multivitamin is high in B, C and Zinc as those are deficiencies in People with ADHD as well.  \n\nI am at windstarhealing.com if you have any questions.  Good luck!

If you are interested in a 100% natural whole food approach, I highly recommend ViaViente.  High blood pressure runs in my husband's family.  He tried dietary changes, high-cardio workouts, but nothing seemed to work.  He was getting prescribed medications but it didn't sit well with him that he is only 38 and would have to take hi BP meds.  So, his personal trainer/nutritionist and wife (who is a doctor), turned him on to ViaViente (which they recommend to all their clients/patients who are interested in natural approaches to combat nearly any health ailment imaginable).  After 3 weeks, his blood pressure went from 140+ to 117.  It has been 3 months now and it is at a stable 110.\n\nI know a network of trainers, nutritionists, doctors, physical therapists and herbalists who highly recommend this product.  It has also helped me with my lifelong allergy problem (I no longer take any meds) and my kids have not had a drop of Motrin or Tylenol since they've been drinking this juice (I used to feel like I was drugging my kids because they used to get sick so often).  My family loves it and we highly recommend it for preventative health, maintenance...your body just operates at an optimal level with ViaViente added to your diet.  4 ounces a day is equivalent to 20 servings of fruits and vegetables.\n\nYou are welcome to contact me directly and I can answer additional questions you may have.  I did quite a bit of research on the product and it's nearest competitors.
