Irritability, sadness, headaches, bloating, an increase in appetite, fatigue, and other symptoms afflict up to 75 percent of women up to two weeks before their periods. For some (3 to 5 percent), premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is severe enough to be incapacitating. Oncoming periods trigger changes in the balance of estrogen and progesterone (estrogen falls while progesterone surges). These powerful hormones cause very real changes in the body and can affect brain chemistry and emotions.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"pom-image-wrap\">\n    <img src=\"https:\/\/www.betternutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/125750977.jpg?width=730\" \n         alt=\"\"\n         title=\"125750977\"\n    \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p> Homeopathy, which works with the body to stimulate its natural healing abilities, offers a natural way to ease symptoms. In a study published in the January 2013 issue of <em>Homeopathy<\/em>, 23 women, average age 39, were prescribed homeopathic treatment for their PMS symptoms. The most common complaints were irritability, aggression, and tension, followed by weight gain and bloating. The study concluded that homeopathic treatment was well-tolerated and significantly decreased PMS symptoms\u2014in fact, the average score of symptom intensity was cut by half.<\/p>\n<p> A licensed homeopath can customize a prescription for you based on specific individual needs; however, OTC formulas are available that address a range of general PMS symptoms. (<em>Editor\u2019s note<\/em>: See \u201cGood Buys\u201d below&nbsp;for our product picks.)<\/p>\n<h3>Cut the Caffeine for PMS Relief<\/h3>\n<p> Some research suggests that the effects of caffeine are magnified before your period, leading to greater breast tenderness, irritability, and nervousness. \u201cThe first thing I do is get every woman off caffeine,\u201d says Lynn Amara, CCH, RSHom(NAm), a
