Welcome back to part 2 of our deep dive into PMS. Last week, we explored what PMS actually is and the first steps towards getting support. Today, we're focusing the spotlight on treatment.
In this episode, I’ll share what the research and guidelines suggest about managing PMS symptoms with supplements, herbal remedies, and medication. From vitamin B6, calcium, and zinc to evening primrose oil, St John’s Wort, and Agnus Castus – we’ll look at what works and where the research is still unclear.
I’ll also walk you through:
- Which supplements show the most promise in reducing emotional and physical PMS symptoms
- Why certain herbal remedies might not be as effective as you’ve heard
- The medication options your GP might suggest
- How to approach trying new supplements safely
