Botanical Medicine for PMS/PMDD
How Botanical Medicine Addresses PMS/PMDD
Botanical Medicine offers a comprehensive approach to managing pms/pmdd. This treatment modality focuses on addressing the root causes of your symptoms while supporting your body's natural healing processes.
Naturopathic Approach to PMS/PMDD
Naturopathic treatment for PMS and PMDD focuses on restoring hormonal balance and supporting neurotransmitter function through targeted interventions. This includes optimizing nutrition with emphasis on B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids to support hormone metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. Botanical medicines such as vitex (chaste tree), evening primrose oil, and adaptogens help regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and modulate stress response. Functional lab testing can identify specific nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and inflammatory markers. Lifestyle modifications including stress reduction techniques, regular physical activity, and sleep optimization support overall hormonal health. This comprehensive approach aims to reduce symptom severity, improve quality of life during the luteal phase, and address underlying hormonal and biochemical imbalances.
