In the months before I left SA I was seeing a homeopath once a month to treat my case of candida which resulted in a lack of energy and hormone imbalances. For most of my life I've had some serious issues with PMS. Really. Just lock me in a padded room for a week every month and stay away because I'm going to be crying and sore and tired and mostly just plain unpredictable.
She put me onto a herb called "Chaste Tree" which regulates your hormone production. It doesn't prevent pregnancy or anything like that but increases the amount of progestorone that your body is producing. Well that stuff changed my life. Although I still got a little crampy and sore it was nothing compared to what it was before.
When I came overseas I brought a 2 month supply with me. I figured that was enough as I was never intended to stay on the pills - I was supposed to take it for about 6 months and then come off it. Well let me tell you. In the two months that I went off this stuff I had all the appropriate breakdowns on all the appropriate dates. No fun.
Completely by chance I found a similar product about 2 weeks ago at Whole Foods in LA. They make a mixture of Chaste Tree and Black Cohosh for the treatment of PMS and as I sit here this morning I know that those little brown tablets have saved my life today. If I hadn't bee taking it I'm pretty sure that leaving LA would be a whole lot harder and more dramatic. This might have caused a gap in my storyline but I don't care.
So that's my sales pitch. If you suffer severe PMS symptoms get your hands on some Chaste Tree, now available from your local homeopath.
It will make your life a whole lot easier.
