Echinacea

[loudickson71]

Does it really help PMT? Like BAD PMT?

[chazza]

I have never heard of it being used for PMT although it is good for boosting your immune system

I've never heard of echinacea helping with PMT, only boosting your immune system. I know evening primrose and starflower oils are supposed to help with PMT though.

Yes, lilmonkey, I use evening primrose oil and it really helps my PMT. Hasn't got rid of it completely, but it's much better.

Echinacea boosts your immune system if you are feeling under the weather, if you are getting a sore throat, if someone nearby keeps sneezing (!) or if you feel you are getting a cold or the flu. Use it only for a couple of weeks, two tablets the first day and a tablet every day for the rest of the time. You may only need it for a week. I get mine at Holland and Barrett and tell everyone about them ! Not for PMT tho.
