The premenstrual syndrome has been recognized for centuries. Although a lot of women suffer from this syndrome, some suffer in varying degrees of physical and or psychological distress. Not all women suffer from premenstrual syndrome.
Much evidence does support the fact that some women suffer a lot psychologically.
The highest number of violent crimes committed by women occur 4-7 days prior to menses. There is also an increased female accident and suicide rate during this period. There are many ways of understanding and treating this disturbing syndrome, by utilizing Chinese medicine, homeopathic medical practice, and scientific medical fact. Chinese medical philosophy is based on thousands of years of trial and error in trying to understand the inner workings of the human body from outside the body. The Chinese had to guess at the existence of different organs and the functions which they perform.
