Premenstrual Tension (PMT)
Homeopathic Treatment Considerations

This condition, PMS, also known as premenstrual tension (PMT), can manifest itself in various ways. For several days before a period starts many women find that they suffer from emotional upsets, such as depression, irritability, loss of sexual desire, extreme anxiety, uncontrollable crying and loss of affection for their family.

One or more of the symptoms may be accompanied by weight gain, sore and swollen? breasts, swollen ankles and hands, and headache.

Additionally there may be some pelvic discomfort and low back pain.

PMS has been treated by homeopathy.

PMS requires detailed specific prescribing of the "right" homeopathic remedy.

Trial and error or shotgun prescribing does not work, and therefore we don't recommend self-medication. In fact, self-medication will complicate the overall symptom picture.

Below are only some of the remedies we may prescribe, please note how important the individual symptom picture is. Only when all symptoms, aggravation or amelioration are taken into consideration can a specific homeopathic remedy be selected. A further consideration is given to the potency of the remedy.
