It does not have to be like this, however. Vitex Compound will often be able to relieve the symptoms by normalizing the hormonal system.
Dosage
1 tablet 3 times a day.
Precautions
Should not be used by pregnant women or women who have violent menstrual pains without preceding PMS. Be aware that Vitex compound can interact with prescription medicine.
Further fortification
If you are on the pill, it might be the reason for your problems with premenstrual syndrome - PMS. You should pay attention to the fact that the latest contraceptive coils often are hormone coils, and that these - lile birth-control pills - can prevent your own hormonal system from becoming normal.
PMS can be seen in a lot of different ways, depending on the stress factors and how you normally react to them when you are under pressure: Some people turn the problems inward and become reserved, melancholic, and perhaps sad. Others have a more extroverted reaction with aggresions, and a low tolerance threshhold. Others develop an extra need for carbohydrates, and therefore experience a craving for sweets.
Whether in one form or the other, Vitex Compound might help you. The three herbs normalize the hormonal balance, but if you have been on the pill or used a coil for years, it may take some time. Most people will feel an effect of Vitex Compound relatively quickly, but you should continue to take it for at least three months before you can rely on your hormonal system to be able to manage on its own.
Incidentally, it is the hypophysis that needs to work differently and this little gland is stimulated best in the morning. If you do not feel a clear improvement before menstruation after a month's treatment, you can choose to take Vitex agnus castus as a singular supplement: an appropriate dose would be 5 ml. - taken along with Vitex Compound for the next two months.
A healthy and well-adjusted hormonal system also depends very much on one's fat balance, and also on the liver's ability to discharge excessive oestrogen, because all of the hormones are carried around in the body by specific fatty substances. This is why women with anorexia nervosa and athletes who perform elitist sports often lose their menstruation - there are no fatty substances to carry the hormones.
Therefore, you can benefit from taking an EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) as a supplement for three months. And you should not worry about gaining weight, as the fatty substances will be used for the right purpose.
If you - contrary to expectation - still feel mood swings, maybe during the entire period, you should make sure to get many small meals and avoid sweets, cakes and other sugary products as they will cause the blood sugar level to rise and fall all day with fatigue attacks, trembling, shaking, or similar symptoms.
