I have tried just about every "natural" rememdy for PMS. Cal/Mag for months, did nothing. Loads of B vitamins, multi-vitamins, nothing. Evening Primerose, made me very, very angry. Flaxseed oil, subtle changes. Black Cohosh, nothing to noticeable, etc, etc,. The only "natural" thing that helped me was running 30 minutes at least 4 to 5 times a week. Even that didn't get rid of all the symptoms.
The only thing that works for me is Celexa. It is a god send. When I am on it, I don't even bother to keep track of my cycle, because it is a none issue. I plan on staying on the AD for a long long time.
I would try ginger if I wasn't on Celexa, but I have tried ginger before, not for PMS though, and I just can't stand the taste, and it keeps coming back up on me. There is something about ginger, that my body doesn't like. Sort of like me and soy beans, lethal.
Good luck with the natural remedies, I hope you do better than I did.
