Can’t seem to relax before your period? Do you have premenstrual anxiety? Holistic health care offers you natural alternatives to the pill that can help with your premenstrual symptoms.
The pill is commonly prescribed for intense PMS symptoms – what you may not realize is that these symptoms can be treated with holistic health care.
Anxiety is one of the symptoms that tends to get worse in the premenstrual phase, that is, after ovulation at mid-cycle. When menstruation begins, the anxiety usually becomes less severe or stops completely until the next cycle. Some women have generalized anxiety that gets worse during this time, but for others feelings of anxiety are only present in the premenstrual time.
Dr. Marina Rose uses a holistic approach to help women with premenstrual symptoms and other challenging health conditions around the city of San Francisco, CA and across the country.
The pill can regulate hormones by introducing synthetic hormones into the body, but this does treat the root cause of the symptoms. With holistic health care, you will work with a practitioner to discover the deeper health issues that contribute to your PMS.
Holistic health care favors natural approaches, like herbal remedies, for symptoms, often while underlying factors are being addressed with long-term lifestyle changes. Herbal remedies can be very effective. In fact, a 2001 study found that passionflower provided anxiety relief similar to pharmaceutical anxiety medication. Dr. Oz agrees that holistic health care can help with PMS.
