PMS

[pamt]

Dong Quai is an herbal that I take when I get PMS I am one of the "lucky ones" who suffer from severe symptoms. Moodiness that comes close to rage. Breakdowns that can happen at any time. I can almost feel my blood pressure rise. It is horrible. I have learned to know the signs and actually have to warn those around me that it is coming on.
I started taking Dong Quai three or four years ago. It has no horrible side affects at all, and has me feeling very calm in less than an hour. Which can certainly be a blessing to those around me :) .
I have tried birth control pills, but these don't seem to tackle the moodiness and due to stroke history in my family, they are not an option at all.
I have told my family doctor that I take these and she has had no negative comments at all. I am sure that a young woman just experiencing PMS would be able to take this herb. My own girls take it once in a while and again, no side affects.
