'I no longer dread my periods like I used to'

Karen, 42, a housewife from Wilmslow in Cheshire, has suffered from PMS for as long as she can remember. Here she tells us how a herbal remedy has helped her get through her ‘time of the month’

'I can’t tell you how much better I feel now that I have discovered the herbal remedy agnus castus. I no longer dread my periods like I used to. I had always suffered with PMS but I think it got worse after having my two children.

'It followed the same pattern every month. In the week leading up to my period I started to feel irritable and moody. Even my husband said I was a pain to live with. And I must say I often felt like throwing everything and everybody out of the window. I used to get this terrible aggression welling up inside me.

'I tried evening primrose oil and my doctor put me on beta-blockers for a while but they didn’t really solve the problem. Then last June I read about this natural herbal remedy, which contained agnus castus and decided to try it. I have been taking in continuously ever since and hand on heart can say it really has helped. I don’t feel so moody and am certainly less stressed. I am certainly going to continue taking it.’
