PMS Herbs & Tea

PMS herbs have been identified for hundreds of years, and long before drug stores and pharmacies, herbs were the only choice that women suffering from pre-menstrual symptoms had.

Identified herbs such as St Johns Wart, to ease the mood swings and depression associated with PMS were mostly consumed in teas and infusions.

I hope by sharing some of the common herbs used to treat PMS you will find some relief from the symptoms associated with pre-menstrual syndrome.

Did you know that 30-50 percent of women experience Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) every month? Of course, each woman has varing degrees of severity and for some women, PMS can start up to two weeks prior to the onse of menstruation and last up to one week beyond the end of the cycle. Yikes, that is three weeks of dealing with PMS and menstruation out of a month!
