I am 44 and for the past year have been troubled with erratic periods, flooding on some months and hardly any bleeding on others. My main problem however is the breast tenderness. Again some months it is not too bad but others it goes on for 2 weeks and is soooo sore. I am taking Chinese Shatavari which seems to keep the regularity somewhere near normal but doesn't help with the tenderness. Are there any herbal recommendations?
This is a common symptom on the approach to the menopause.
You may find a kelp supplement helpful for this and also make sure that you are drinking plenty of plain water as dehydration can make symptoms worse!
Some women also find a cup or two of nettle tea a day helpful.
