Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a long-term condition that women experience one to two weeks before their menstrual cycle. It causes a combination of symptoms and has an effect on many levels. The symptoms can be emotional, physical or behavioral. PMS symptoms can be different for every woman, but the top three complaints are irritability, fatigue and bloating. Soon after your menstrual bleeding starts, the symptoms go away.
In general, PMS symptoms are linked to cyclic changes in hormones that happen during the second half of the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is complex and begins from Day 1 of the period to Day 1 of the next period. The body uses hormones to send instructions from one part of the body to another. Oestrogen and Progesterone hormones are known to govern the menstrual cycle. A shift in these hormones can cause both physical and emotional PMS symptoms. Understanding the menstrual cycle is important as it can impact the body from head to toe. The menstrual cycle consists of four stages:
Menstrual- This phase starts from the day you begin to bleed. During this period, there is a normal shedding of the uterus lining through the vagina. The levels of oestrogen and progesterone are the lowest during this phase.
Follicular- Overlaps with the menstrual phase and lasts until the ovulation phase. During this period the brain signals the ovaries to prepare an egg to be released. The maturing follicles set off a surge in the levels of oestrogen in the body.
Ovulation- This is halfway through the cycle; the egg is released into the fallopian tube from the ovaries. After reaching its peak, oestrogen levels drop very steeply after ovulation occurs.
Luteal- If the egg is not fertilized, the uterine lining begins to shed during your period. Levels of both estrogen and progesterone begin to decrease, which causes the onset of your period.
PMS symptoms are usually most intense in the week just before a woman's period when the levels of estrogen and progesterone are the lowest. Some women may experience only mild symptoms while for others, they may be so severe that it makes it hard to complete everyday activities.
A safe and reliable medium of PMS treatment is homeopathy. Homeopathy has proven efficacy in PMS treatment. It is demonstrated in the clinical studies published in the U. S. National Library of Medicine. 90% of women treated with homeopathy, over a period of 3 months, experienced an improvement in their PMS symptoms. The Case Series of Homeopathic Treatment of Premenstrual Syndrome, 2013 concluded that homeopathic PMS treatment was well tolerated and seemed to have a positive impact on PMS symptoms.
PMS can be managed with medications as well as home remedies, lifestyle changes and possible alternative medicines. However, most conventional treatments generally aim to only relieve symptoms but homeopathy aims to treat the root cause.

Homeopathy treatment can successfully reduce the intensity of complaints, shorten the duration of PMS and also help improve moods.
