Premenstrual Syndrome - Chinese Medicine explanation and treatment
The feelings of depression, aggression, bloatedness, headaches, pain and water retention experienced by sufferers of PMS are according to Chinese Medicine, usually caused by an imbalance of the liver, kidneys and spleen.
Chinese Medicine considers menstruation to be the monthly release of an overflowing blood reservoir, and stagnation which interferes with this process causes problems like PMS. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can stimulate the liver, and diet therapy is often useful. A Chinese Medicine practitioner will prescribe Chinese angelica, white peony, skullcap, and poria or sometimes green mandarin orange peel can be very effective.
