PMS refers to a collection of physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms related to a woman's menstrual cycle, and affects most women of child-bearing age. PMS is characterized by multiple and diverse symptoms including, but not limited to: breast tenderness, transient weight gain, bloating, constipation, insomnia, acne, headache, pelvic pain, irritability, depression, mood swings, poor concentration, confusion, social withdrawal, impulsiveness and appetite changes. PMS symptoms can range in severity, and for some women with PMS, the symptoms are so severe that they are considered disabling. This form of PMS has its own psychiatric designation: known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

 

Complementary medicine offers tools to address premenstrual syndrome. Whereas PMS may be viewed as just part of being a woman, Complementary medicine views PMS as a constellation of imbalances both hormonally as well as emotionally. This ‘imbalance’ is successfully treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine. Our proprietary

You do not have to live with premenstrual syndrome. When the symptoms of PMS are reduced or eliminated, you will be more energetic -- physically, mentally, emotionally and creatively.  Acupuncture and natural herbal medicine, along with proper nutrition and exercise provide natural solutions for the discomforts associated with PMS no matter what the severity.
