Introduction
Premenstrual syndrome refers to emotional changes occurring regularly before menstruation. The clinical manifestations are restlessness, sorrow and sweeping, or mental depression, murmuring and insomnia which disappear when menstruation is over. This syndrome is called “abnormal emotional changes during menstruation” usually caused by stagnant liver qi attacking the spleen and failure of the spleen to produce blood to nourish the cardiac spirit due to asthenia; or by transformation of mental depression into fire that heats fluid into phlegm and disturbs the mind.
