Headaches, bloating, craving for sweets, irritability and cramps are all familiar symptoms of PMS, or pre-menstrual syndrome. There is plenty of information about PMS, but what women really want is to know how to control their own individual condition. Doctors still disagree about the causes and treatment of PMS, and the latest thinking is that this is a much more individual condition than was previously believed – and far more multi-factorial, necessitating a combination of approaches.

This book presents nine different approaches to PMS, and, depending on their symptoms and their severity, women may benefit from using them singly or in combination. While medical help is covered, the emphasis is on finding natural ways to balance the hormones.
