PMS - Can It Be Treated With Homeopathy?

Many women have stated that before the onset of their period they may face digestive as well as intestinal problems. This time is anywhere between a week to a fortnight before the onset of their periods and is usually related to PMS. In such cases, homeopathy is a great tool to reduce and relieve the gastrointestinal symptoms of PMS. Some of the well known and effective treatments in homeopathy for these are Nux vomica, Bryonia and Bovista among others.

While bloating, mood swings and breast tenderness are common symptoms, blurriness of vision is also a common symptom reported by many women during the days leading up to her period. However, this symptom is usually accompanied with headaches and is one of the lesser symptoms which also include vertigo. Conium and Bryonia are two great remedies for relieving symptoms like headaches and blurred vision due to PMS.

Though sodium is an essential mineral for our body, but it can also cause imbalance. One of the most adverse effects it can have on the body is that of water retention. During PMS, it can in fact aggravate the body's pre-existing condition of trying to retain water. Pulsatilla, Lycopodium and Nux Vomica are a few medications that can help you reduce bloating and fluid retention caused by PMS or elevated levels of sodium within the body.

Lack of attention and physical discomfort during PMS can cause you to lose focus and thus result in you being clumsy. Initially, it may not be connected to depression and other mental symptoms during PMS, but many studies have confirmed that if you are clumsier than usual then you may be going through PMS. Homeopathy can take care of both the physical as well as mental symptoms of PMS. Lachesis is a great remedy in case of body pain caused by PMS while Ignatia and Pulsatilla are two great medications to fight depression and mood swings to give back focus during this time.
