I have 3 neurological disorders, one of which I am about to find out about in May from my consultant, the other 2 are Dystonia & Essential Tremor. When my period is due, the dystonia worsens considerably as done the tremor & I take Pulsatilla which helps with the mood swings I am now experiencing through ovulation & some PMS before my period, which does help me a lot. Many of these remedies do help certain conditions, but you should always consult a qualified practitioner or someone who knows their stuff in a proper health food shop before embarking on any of these remedies, since they can be harmful if you suffer from other medical conditions, are allergic to some ingredient, or are taking any other conventional medication. I am qualifed as an Aromatherapist, so do know my essential oils. Women who suffer heavy periods shouldn't use Rosemary or Clary Sage, since they can make their bleeding much heavier. You should not use Rosemary either if you suffer from high blood pressure or are epileptic. Pulsatilla is a homoeopathic preparation & many of the homoeopathic treatments have the ability just not to work if they are unsuitable for a particular person or their condition. Feverfew is excellent for migraine & headaches. It also calms the nervous system, so I have a regular supply at home : ) I would suggest women try whatever they can to help themselves through the menopause, but sensibly. Taking too many treatments in the peri-menopause can harm you, so best not to take anything unless you absolutely need it.

Right now, I take garlic capsules to help with my blood pressure. I've also been told that garlic is like a natural antibiotic.
