PMS - 4 types of PMS syndromes

The hormones in our bodies are especially sensitive to diet and nutrition.
PMS and menstrual cramping are not diseases, but rather, symptoms of poor nutrition.
Medical science recognizes four types of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). These correspond to distinct hormonal imbalances and can be helped with distinct sets of natural therapies.
