Synthetic progesterones, like Provera or medroxyprogesterone, can produce severe side effects including increased risk of cancer, abnormal menstrual flow, fluid retention, nausea, depression and can even increase risk of heart disease and stroke. de effects are extremely rare with natural progesterone. The only one of concern is that it can potentially alter the timing of your menstrual cycle.,;”*

Women with PMS do not experience completely different symptoms each cycle, such as anxiety with one cycle, depression the next, anger in the following cycle, and so forth. Each woman with PMS has her own personal pattern of symptoms.While one woman might be anxious and tense, another woman might experience PMS as causing her to be depressed and tearful for two days each cycle, and another woman might find that she is easily irritated by problems that she normally considers minor.”*`:

ost-menstrual syndrome is one of the most discomforting things for a female. It’s quite true that she experiences some of the most dramatic mental and physical changes during this time. Almost one-third of women suffer from this problem in their child bearing years. But it does not happen once they reach menopause. Other irritable symptoms of PMS are loss of appetite or a huge appetite, an itching pain in the vagina felt during intercourse and a feeling of dizziness and vomiting. A painful feeling can also be felt in the chest because it is insensitive for a short time. …;,

Silybum marianum (milk thistle) is an annual or biannual plant of the Asteraceae family. This fairly typical thistle has red to purple flowers and shiny pale green leaves with white veins. Originally a native of Southern Europe through to Asia, it is now found throughout the world. The medicinal parts of the plant are the ripe seeds.”;^;

In reply to Normand Brandauer. Thank you for your thoughtful commentary. In addition to evidence based and mechanism of action studies on plants and medicinal extracts, I am also involved with the ancient indigenous and traditional use of herbal medicines. For example, Black Cohosh is one of several plant species referred to as Squaw Root. A name like that convinces me that the plant has positive effects for women, whether or not scientific data exists to corroborate this long held knowledge. It is fascinating to pick black cohosh, which I do in the fall in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The native women would gather the roots in the fall, which is , of course, the best time to gather most root medicines, since the energy of the plant is decending for storage in the root at the end of the season. In addition, the white flowers that are on the stalk earlier in the season dry in the fall into seed pods. The indigenous women used these stalks with the seed pods as rattles, to bring in the grandmother spirits while they made a tea ( infusion) of the roots and used them in rituals for women - in particular young girls reaching their first menses, and older women reaching their last, as well as child bearing adult women for fertility rites. I discuss this in depth in my book, CYCLES OF LIFE, Herbs and Energy Techniques for the Stages of a Womens Life. Ellen Kamhi PhD RN, The Natural Nurse

Preparations of black cohosh are made from its roots and rhizomes (underground stems). One commercial standardized black cohosh preparation is Remifemin, which contains black cohosh extract equivalent to 20 mg of root per tablet. The manufacturer changed the formulation of this preparation from a solution (root extracted with ethanol, 60% by volume) to tablets (root extracted with isopropyl alcohol, 40% by volume), complicating the comparison of research results. Other preparations of black cohosh have been less well studied than Remifemin..-“
