The American Journal of Psychiatry defines PMS as a combined physical and psychological disorder--"the cyclical occurrence of symptoms that are of sufficient severity to interfere with some aspects of life, and which appear with a consistent and predictable relationship to menses." In fact, one of the most frustrating things about PMS is that it deregulates so many systems in the body. Over 150 distinct problems have been reported as part of the PMS constellation of symptoms. Natural Medicine for PMS will offer natural therapies that not only complement conventional medicine, but also work well in conjunction with one another. And although many therapies are discussed in this book--everything from diet and exercise, to vitamin and mineral supplements, to stress reduction, to holistic practices like homeopathy, acupressure, aromatherapy, yoga and Chinese medicine--readers will be able to design a regimen that is best suited to their individual needs. Natural Medicine for PMS will give sufferers a new way to deal with a problem that may have been affecting them for decades.
