PMDD stands for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder — it’s like an extreme, more intense form of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). Where PMS might cause some mood swings, cramps, or bloating, PMDD can hit much harder, affecting mood, focus, and daily functioning.

Here’s what happens in short:
During the second half of the menstrual cycle — after ovulation and before your period — hormone levels (especially estrogen and progesterone) fluctuate. For some people, the brain reacts very strongly to these changes, especially in serotonin (a mood-regulating chemical). That’s what can trigger PMDD symptoms.

Common signs include:

  • Severe mood swings or irritability

  • Depression or feelings of hopelessness

  • Intense anxiety or tension

  • Trouble concentrating

  • Fatigue or sleep changes

  • Changes in appetite or food cravings

  • Feeling overwhelmed or out of control

  • Physical symptoms like breast tenderness, bloating, or joint pain

The key difference between PMS and PMDD is severity and impact — PMDD can significantly disrupt relationships, work, and daily life. It’s recognized as a real medical condition and can be treated.

Herbal support for PMDD can be a gentle but powerful way to bring the body and mood back into balance. Since PMDD involves hormone sensitivity, inflammation, and serotonin fluctuations, the goal of tea blending is to soothe the nervous system, support hormone balance, and ease cramps and bloating.

Here’s a set of herbal tea blends crafted specifically for PMDD symptom relief — each with a clear purpose and balanced flavor profile.
