Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) — the constellation of physical and emotional symptoms that occur in the luteal phase (days 14–28) and resolve with menstruation — is highly responsive to Chinese medicine and functional medicine treatment. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry addresses PMS at its hormonal root: the relative imbalance of estrogen and progesterone, the Liver Qi Stagnation that generates premenstrual tension and irritability in Chinese medicine, and the nutritional deficiencies (magnesium, B6, vitamin D, omega-3) that amplify premenstrual symptoms.
How PMS Treatment Works
PMS treatment combines acupuncture in the luteal phase (sessions in the 2 weeks before menstruation) with Chinese herbal medicine prescribed for Liver Qi Stagnation with Blood Deficiency (the most common PMS pattern in Chinese medicine). Functional medicine assessment evaluates progesterone deficiency, estrogen dominance markers, nutrient status, and thyroid function.

Your First Appointment
Keep a symptom calendar for 1–2 cycles before your appointment: note which symptoms occur when in the cycle, their severity, and what helps. This is invaluable for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Why Dr. Hendry for PMS Treatment
Dr. Hendry's functional medicine hormone assessment goes beyond the cursory estradiol test most conventional providers offer for PMS — evaluating the full hormonal panel plus nutritional factors that drive the premenstrual symptom cluster.
