Pre-menstrual Syndrome describes the collection of symptoms that many women experience in the lead-up to menstruation each month. Commonly women may feel irritable, snappy, tired, have breast tenderness, feel weepy, have thigh pain and feel hotter, or crave particular foods - often sweet or salty. Acupuncture can offer a way to deal with such symptoms and I have seen fantastic results with women amazed at how different they can feel after a few treatments. Usually I work with women over three menstrual cycles to lessen such symptoms and put them back into balance with their menstruation.
