Tired of struggling through PMS every month? Try these simple tips to make it a little less unpleasant.

2. Women who suffer from PMS often have high levels of carbon dioxide and low levels of oxygen in their blood. Five minutes of deep breathing exercises should help.

3. Spending just 30 minutes a day in the sun two weeks befor your period can help relieve PMS related tension and depression by up to 60%.

4. Ease crankiness with chasteberry. This herb reduces anxiety, depression, bloating and food cravings in 90% of women within 3 months.

5. Start taking the anti-PMS pill. The oral contraceptive Yasmin contains progestin that relieves water retention and bloating, plus it reduces breast pain, cravings, weight gain, fatigue and mood swings for 80% of women. You should see improvement within two cycles.
