Rage at my family for no reason

You snap at the people you love most. A small noise, a slow reply, or a dumb question sets you off. Then it passes, and you feel ashamed.

Many people notice this in the week or two before a period. Hormones shift in that part of the cycle. Some bodies react hard to that shift, and mood swings with it.

The severe form has a name: PMDD, or premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The anger is real, and it is not a flaw in your character. For many, it fades within a day or two after bleeding starts.

When to see someone

See a doctor soon if you think about harming yourself or someone else. Get help right away if you have hit a person, or smashed things in a rage. Book a visit too if the anger runs all month long, or if it is costing you your job, your friends, or your marriage.

Below you will find remedies that people use for PMDD. Each one carries a grade for how much good research stands behind it. A low grade means the proof is thin, so talk with your doctor before you try anything here.

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD): natural remedies and the evidence behind them

11 options · 2 graded B · 2 graded C · 7 traditional or ungraded

In the days before my period, how does my PMDD hit hardest?

Anxiety, tension, or a heavy sense of dread that builds all week

  1. Acupuncture

    Supported by smaller clinical studies· Centuries of traditional use (Evidence grade B · Traditional use long-standing)Long-standing traditional staple

    Preliminary clinical support for PMDD anxiety and mood

    Why this matches
    A single small RCT studied acupuncture's effects on anxiety and depression symptoms in PMDD, so early findings are relevant but not conclusive.
    Why try it
    Acupuncture is thought to help regulate the nervous system and stress-response pathways that amplify premenstrual anxiety and tension.
    Dose or use
    Sessions are typically scheduled by a licensed acupuncturist; treatment frequency and point selection will be tailored to your cycle.
    Time to results
    Typically 2–3 menstrual cycles
    Key study
    RCT (2013, PMID 24029029): Effects of acupuncture on the symptoms of anxiety and depression caused by premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
    Caution
    Seek a licensed practitioner; generally safe when performed correctly.

  2. LV3 (Taichong)

    Centuries of traditional use· Human evidence not yet assessed (Evidence grade not assigned · Traditional use long-standing)Long-standing traditional staple

    Liver-channel point traditionally used to calm tension

    Why this matches
    That heavy, keyed-up sense of dread maps closely to what TCM calls stagnant liver energy — LV3 is the point traditionally pressed to release premenstrual irritability and tension.
    Why try it
    LV3 sits on the Liver channel and is traditionally used to ease stress, anxiety, and the wound-up feeling that can peak before your period.
    Dose or use
    Find the spot on top of the foot, in the soft valley between the big toe and second toe. Press firmly with your thumb for 1–2 minutes on each foot while breathing slowly.
    Time to results
    Can feel calming within minutes; used regularly across the luteal phase
    Key study
    Traditionally used in acupressure for premenstrual stress and irritability; this specific self-applied use has not been confirmed in controlled clinical trials.
    Caution
    Press gently if the area feels tender or bruised. Not a substitute for care if anxiety becomes severe or persistent.

  3. Magnesium Deficiency

    Centuries of traditional use· Human evidence not yet assessed (Evidence grade not assigned · Traditional use long-standing)Long-standing traditional staple

    Low magnesium can heighten tension and unease

    Why this matches
    That tight, anxious, on-edge feeling can be intensified when magnesium is low, since your nerves and muscles rely on it to stay relaxed.
    Why try it
    Magnesium helps calm nerve signaling and muscle tension, and low levels are commonly associated with premenstrual anxiety, restlessness, and poor sleep.
    Dose or use
    Consider your magnesium intake with your provider. Food sources include leafy greens, nuts, seeds, beans, and whole grains; supplements are available if intake is low.
    Time to results
    Repletion effects, if any, typically build over 1–3 cycles
    Key study
    Recognized nutrient-deficiency link; surfaced as background context rather than from a trial of correcting deficiency in PMDD specifically.
    Caution
    Magnesium supplements can cause loose stools at higher doses and may interact with certain medications; check with your provider, especially if you have kidney issues.

Low mood, sadness, or wanting to withdraw from everyone

  1. Acupuncture

    Supported by smaller clinical studies· Centuries of traditional use (Evidence grade B · Traditional use long-standing)Long-standing traditional staple

    Preliminary clinical support for PMDD anxiety and mood

    Why this matches
    A single small RCT studied acupuncture's effects on anxiety and depression symptoms in PMDD, so early findings are relevant but not conclusive.
    Why try it
    Acupuncture is thought to help regulate the nervous system and stress-response pathways that amplify premenstrual anxiety and tension.
    Dose or use
    Sessions are typically scheduled by a licensed acupuncturist; treatment frequency and point selection will be tailored to your cycle.
    Time to results
    Typically 2–3 menstrual cycles
    Key study
    RCT (2013, PMID 24029029): Effects of acupuncture on the symptoms of anxiety and depression caused by premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
    Caution
    Seek a licensed practitioner; generally safe when performed correctly.

  2. Myo-Inositol

    Limited human trials so far· Most of the research is laboratory or animal work (Evidence grade C · No traditional record)

    Clinically studied for PMDD depressive symptoms

    Why this matches
    The clinical study on myo-inositol for PMDD highlighted its relevance for the mood and depressive components of the disorder.
    Why try it
    Myo-inositol is a naturally occurring compound involved in serotonin signaling pathways, which are closely tied to low mood in PMDD.
    Dose or use
    Follow product labeling; consult a healthcare practitioner.
    Time to results
    Typically 2–3 menstrual cycles
    Key study
    RCT (2011, PMID 22031267): Myo-inositol in the treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
    Caution
    Generally well tolerated; consult your provider if you take psychiatric medications.

  3. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) Deficiency

    Centuries of traditional use· Human evidence not yet assessed (Evidence grade not assigned · Traditional use long-standing)Long-standing traditional staple

    Low B6 can worsen premenstrual irritability

    Why this matches
    Feeling out of control in your mood can be amplified when B6 runs low, because your body needs it to make the mood-steadying brain chemicals serotonin, dopamine, and GABA.
    Why try it
    Vitamin B6 is a cofactor your body uses to build the neurotransmitters that regulate mood, and low levels are a well-known contributor to premenstrual irritability and low mood.
    Dose or use
    Worth discussing your B6 status with your provider. Food sources include poultry, fish, chickpeas, bananas, and potatoes; if supplementing, keep to modest doses under guidance.
    Time to results
    Repletion effects, if any, typically build over 1–3 cycles
    Key study
    Recognized nutrient-deficiency link; surfaced as background context rather than from a trial of correcting deficiency in PMDD specifically.
    Caution
    High-dose B6 taken long-term can cause nerve tingling or numbness. Do not exceed recommended amounts without medical supervision.

  4. Saffron (Crocus sativus)

    Not yet assessed· We have not reviewed the literature for this one (Evidence grade not assigned · Traditional use recognised)Recognised traditional use

    Traditionally used to lift mood and ease sadness

    Why this matches
    Saffron has a long traditional history of use for emotional low points, pairing naturally with the low-mood and withdrawn feelings of PMDD.
    Why try it
    Traditionally used to support emotional well-being and ease feelings of sadness, saffron is thought to gently influence mood-related pathways.
    Dose or use
    Follow product labeling; consult a healthcare practitioner.
    Time to results
    Typically 4–8 weeks
    Key study
    Traditionally used for this condition; this specific use has not been confirmed in controlled clinical trials.
    Caution
    High doses should be avoided in pregnancy; may interact with antidepressants.

Mood swings and irritability — I snap at people and feel out of control

  1. Vitex (Chasteberry)

    Supported by smaller clinical studies (Evidence grade B · No traditional record)

    Among the most-studied herbal options for PMDD

    Why this matches
    Irritability and mood swings are core PMDD symptoms examined in the systematic review of Vitex, though the underlying trials were mostly in PMS and of mixed quality.
    Why try it
    Vitex is thought to act on dopamine receptors and help modulate the hormonal fluctuations that drive luteal-phase mood instability.
    Dose or use
    Typically 20–40 mg dry extract (standardized) once daily in the morning; follow product labeling for your specific extract.
    Time to results
    Typically 2–3 menstrual cycles
    Key study
    Systematic review (2017, PMID 29063202): Vitex agnus castus for premenstrual syndrome and premenstrual dysphoric disorder: a systematic review.
    Caution
    May interact with hormonal contraceptives or dopamine-related medications; avoid in pregnancy.

  2. Kamishoyosan

    Limited human trials so far· Most of the research is laboratory or animal work (Evidence grade C · No traditional record)

    Traditional formula studied for broad PMDD symptoms

    Why this matches
    As a multi-herb formula, Kamishoyosan was piloted for the wide range of PMDD symptoms, making it a fit for those experiencing a mix.
    Why try it
    This traditional Japanese herbal formula is used to address emotional and physical premenstrual symptoms through a multi-ingredient approach.
    Dose or use
    Follow product labeling; consult a healthcare practitioner.
    Time to results
    Typically 2–3 menstrual cycles
    Key study
    Clinical trial (2007, PMID 17472603): Effectiveness of kamishoyosan for premenstrual dysphoric disorder: open-labeled pilot study.
    Caution
    Evidence is preliminary (pilot study only); consult a practitioner familiar with Japanese herbal medicine.

  3. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) Deficiency

    Centuries of traditional use· Human evidence not yet assessed (Evidence grade not assigned · Traditional use long-standing)Long-standing traditional staple

    Low B6 can worsen premenstrual irritability

    Why this matches
    Feeling out of control in your mood can be amplified when B6 runs low, because your body needs it to make the mood-steadying brain chemicals serotonin, dopamine, and GABA.
    Why try it
    Vitamin B6 is a cofactor your body uses to build the neurotransmitters that regulate mood, and low levels are a well-known contributor to premenstrual irritability and low mood.

    Time to results
    Repletion effects, if any, typically build over 1–3 cycles
    Key study
    Recognized nutrient-deficiency link; surfaced as background context rather than from a trial of correcting deficiency in PMDD specifically.
    Caution
    High-dose B6 taken long-term can cause nerve tingling or numbness. Do not exceed recommended amounts without medical supervision.

The whole package — mood, anxiety, plus cramps, bloating, and body symptoms

  1. Kamishoyosan

    Limited human trials so far· Most of the research is laboratory or animal work (Evidence grade C · No traditional record)

  2. Calcium Deficiency

    Centuries of traditional use· Human evidence not yet assessed (Evidence grade not assigned · Traditional use long-standing)Long-standing traditional staple

    Low calcium is linked to broad PMS symptoms

    Why this matches
    When mood, anxiety, and physical symptoms all pile up, calcium status is worth a look — low calcium across the luteal phase is tied to the full spread of premenstrual complaints.
    Why try it
    Calcium status shifts across the menstrual cycle, and low levels are associated with premenstrual mood and physical symptoms, making it a sensible thing to check when symptoms are broad.
    Dose or use
    Discuss your calcium and vitamin D intake with your provider. Food sources include dairy, fortified plant milks, leafy greens, and tofu.
    Time to results
    Repletion effects, if any, typically build over 1–3 cycles
    Key study
    Recognized nutrient-deficiency link; surfaced as background context rather than from a trial of correcting deficiency in PMDD specifically.
    Caution
    Excess calcium from supplements can cause constipation and, at high doses, other risks; aim to meet needs through food first and supplement only as advised.

  3. SP6 (Sanyinjiao) - Spleen 6

    Centuries of traditional use· Human evidence not yet assessed (Evidence grade not assigned · Traditional use long-standing)Long-standing traditional staple

    Go-to acupressure point for PMS symptoms

    Why this matches
    When everything hits at once, SP6 is the point traditionally reached for first — it is used to ease the whole cluster of premenstrual complaints, from cramps and bloating to mood swings and tension.
    Why try it
    In Traditional Chinese Medicine, SP6 sits where the Spleen, Liver, and Kidney channels meet, and is traditionally used to settle the physical and emotional symptoms that build in the days before your period.
    Dose or use
    Find the spot about four finger-widths above the inner ankle bone, just behind the shin bone. Press firmly with your thumb for 1–2 minutes on each leg, breathing slowly. Avoid during pregnancy.
    Time to results
    May ease tension within minutes; used across cycles for fuller effect
    Key study
    Traditionally used in acupressure for premenstrual symptoms; this specific self-applied use has not been confirmed in controlled clinical trials.
    Caution
    Do not stimulate SP6 during pregnancy, as it is traditionally associated with uterine activity. Press gently if the area is sore.

  4. Calcium Carbonate

    Not yet assessed· We have not reviewed the literature for this one (Evidence grade not assigned · Traditional use recognised)Recognised traditional use

    A simple, well-tolerated option for broad PMS symptoms

    Why this matches
    When everything hits at once, supplemental calcium is a gentle, broad option often used to take the edge off both the mood and physical sides of premenstrual symptoms.
    Why try it
    Calcium carbonate is a common, inexpensive form of supplemental calcium traditionally used to support premenstrual comfort across mood and physical symptoms.
    Dose or use
    Follow product labeling; calcium carbonate is best absorbed when taken with food. Discuss the right amount with your provider, ideally alongside adequate vitamin D.
    Time to results
    Typically assessed over 2–3 menstrual cycles
    Key study
    Traditionally used for premenstrual symptoms; this specific product's use has not been tied to a controlled clinical trial in the material provided here.

This app is so cool! I've always wanted there to be a hub for all NATURAL remedies and preventative options but l've always had to do loads of digging to find the info I wanted for different natural products. HealisticMD has all the info I need in one place. It gave me various natural supplemental options for a condition I looked up, including what each remedy does and how much is usually recommended to take. It also gave me exact products I could buy for the problem I had looked up. It makes my process SO MUCH easier when I need to find non-pharmaceutical solutions to my needs.

There is a wealth of information on the app! I recently had bloodwork done and found I was deficient in a handful of vitamins and minerals (Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Iron, etc.) HealisticMD made it simple for me to find out what foods to eat/ supplements I needed to improve these deficiencies. It gives you so many ideas on prevention, natural health tips, where to buy the vitamins, when to take them, why, etc. I love how easy the app is to use too. I am currently working on getting pregnant. I was pleasantly surprised to find compelling data along with supplement suggestions to aid in the process, some of which my fertility doctor wasn’t even aware of. Highly recommend downloading, after all health is one our greatest gifts!
