Premenstrual syndrome effects over 70% to 90% of women before menopause in the US and less for women in Southeast Asia because of their difference in living style and social structure. It is defined as faulty function of the ovaries related to the women's menstrual cycle, it effects a women's physical and emotional state, and sometimes interferes with daily activities as a result of hormone fluctuation. The syndrome occurs one to two weeks before menstruation and then declines when the period starts. In this article, we will discuss How Traditional Chinese Medicine Helps to Treat PMS.

Spleen coordinated with stomach is an organ with function in absorption and transportation of nutrients(2)(3) to entire body from small intestine, destruction of redundant red blood cells and production of blood(1). Spleen qi stagnation causes abnormal function in regulating the red blood cells in blood stream(1) leading to blood stagnation(4) just before period resulting in PMS. Symptoms of spleen qi stagnation include weight gain or lost, abdominal distension or lost of appetite(5).

1. Red peony (Chi Shao)
Red peony used traditional Chinese medicine for treatments of all kinds of gynaecological problem, releases the blood stagnation in the uterus through its inhibition of inflammatory factors including medium PGE2(6), cause of abdominal pain and cramps, edema, exudation of abdominal blood capillaries for some women with PMS(7).

2. Red Sage Root (Dan Sen)
Poria cocos, a fungi used in traditional Chinese medicine improves blood circulation(8) and breaks up blood stagnation(8) and releases relieve the pain severity(9), probably through the regulation of estrogen production(10)(11) and blood lipid metabolism(10)

3. Safflower (Hong Hua)
Safflower, a blood tonic in Chinese medicine, breaks up blood stagnation|(12)(13) and improves blood flow(15) through warm-pungent-liver efficiency network(14) and regulation of female reproductive hormone(16).

4. Jujubae Date (Da Zao)
Jujubae date, a Chinese ancient herb, used nutritive tonic and blood detoxified medicine improves liver function in blood formation and circulation(17) through its hematopoietic function in the regulation of erythropoietin expression in liver cells.
