Calcium levels are lower in women with PMS and that calcium supplementation may reduce the severity of symptoms.
Chaste Tree Berry
Chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) berry is one of the most popular herbs for premenstrual syndrome in Europe.
...improvements in irritability, depression, headaches, and breast tenderness.
Magnesium
The mineral magnesium, found naturally in food and available in supplements help to significantly improve PMS mood changes. Magnesium helps reduce weight gain, swelling of the hands and legs, breast tenderness, and abdominal bloating.
People with heart or kidney disease should not take magnesium supplements without consulting their doctor.
Magnesium may interact with antibiotics, blood pressure medications, diabetic medications, digoxin, levothyroxine, and tiludronate (an osteoporosis medication) and should only be taken together under medical supervision.
Evening Primrose Oil
Evening Primrose oil is a plant oil that contains gamma-linolenic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid. Gamma-linolenic acid is involved in the metabolism of hormone-like substances called prostaglandins that regulate pain and inflammation in the body.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is the organ most affected by stress, anger, and frustration. Stagnation of liver energy, or "qi", by emotions, alcohol, and spicy and fatty foods can lead to PMS symptoms such as breast tenderness and abdominal bloating and cramping.
Try acupuncture, exercise, expressing emotions, and breathing exercises all are helpful.
Dietary Suggestions:
Reduce sugar and salt intake. This is especially useful for bloating and swelling of the hands and feet, breast tenderness, and dizziness. Increase foods rich in potassium, such as fish, beans, and broccoli.
Eat small, frequent meals to help stabilize blood sugar.
Eliminate caffeine, which can aggravate anxiety, depression, and breast tenderness.
Increase intake of fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and fish.
Avoid alcohol.
Decrease intake of fatty foods and red meat.
Exercise
Regular aerobic exercise such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling may help relieve PMS symptoms.
Relaxation
Breathing exercises, meditation, aromatherapy, and yoga are some natural ways to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Many women feel more assertive and attuned to their needs in the weeks before menses. This can be used constructively by allowing for personal time to relax, expressing emotions, and giving priority to your needs and what nourishes you.

Ginkgo
Vitamin E
Royal jelly
OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins)
