After you have been diagnosed as having PreMenstrual Syndrome (PMS), you should have a conversation with your doctor about how you can best manage your symptoms. There are many options for care, including self-care at your home, medical treatments including medication, and other care methods. These options have all been successful in relieving many PMS symptoms.
Let’s start
You can try several methods until you find the one that works best for you. Or, you might choose to combine several of these options. Your doctor may prescribe medication to relieve symptoms of PMS. One of these medications may include an anti-inflammatory that can be used in order to lower the levels of prostaglandins within a woman’s body. This in turn reduces symptoms like headaches, breast tenderness, and welling, all of which are caused due to inflammatory reactions.
Home Remedies
There are many home remedies that can be used to relieve symptoms of PMS. You can make dietary changes to reduce bloating and water retention. These include avoiding salty foods, limiting salt used in seasoning, avoiding sweets and sodas (especially sugary ones). Many symptoms of PMS can be reduced by taking vitamin and mineral supplements. To reduce anxiety and moodiness, you can take Vitamin A (300-400 IU) daily, Vitamin B6 (50mg per day), Vitamin C (1,200mg) per day and Vitamin E (1,200mg) per day. Vitamin B6 can also be found in foods like dark green, leafy veggies, seafood, meats and legumes.
Exercise can also be helpful in relaxing tight muscles and improving mood. Progressive relaxation and massage therapy are two of the many muscle relaxation techniques that can be used. You can also enjoy a soothing cup of chamomile or warm tub bath with a heating pad. Be careful not to use too much heat, and don’t fall asleep while the heating pad is on.

The following blend of aromatherapy can be used to treat a variety of PMS symptoms. The blend should be massaged in a V-shaped pattern starting at the vaginal area. It should then be moved towards the buttocks and back to the lower abdomen. Research suggests that you should massage the blend every day to reap the maximum benefits.
