Naturopathic Support for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) in Melbourne
How Naturopathy Can Help with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Most women come to Olga after years of living with symptoms that are dismissed as “just part of being a woman.” You’ve likely been told your tests are normal or tried the pill, antidepressants or supplements — yet still feel like your mood, energy, and body are working against you each month.
At My Natural Clinic in Melbourne, Olga Mandic helps women look beyond quick fixes to uncover the real causes of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS). Her role is to identify the hormonal, nutritional, and lifestyle imbalances behind your symptoms and guide you toward lasting hormonal harmony.
How Naturopathy Can Support PMS Naturally
While PMS is common, it isn’t “normal.” It’s a sign that your hormones and nervous system are under strain — often due to stress, nutrient depletion, liver congestion, thyroid imbalance, or gut health issues.
Naturopathic treatment focuses on restoring balance across these systems so your body can regulate hormones naturally again. Olga’s approach includes:
- Supporting hormone metabolism – by improving liver detoxification pathways and gut health to help your body process and eliminate estrogen efficiently. Fibre, bitter herbs, and interventions to restore the gut wall barrier are very effective here.
- Balancing mood and nervous system function – by balancing estrogen, histamine intolerance, with magnesium, B vitamins, and adaptogenic herbs that stabilise energy and calm stress reactivity.
- Reducing bloating and fluid retention – I find that ubiquitous histamine plays a big role here. Through dietary adjustments and herbal support, it is important to promote lymphatic flow, improve liver function, and support the gut microbiome for effective histamine and hormone clearance.
- Easing pain and inflammation – with anti-inflammatory nutraceuticals like omega-3s, PEA, and herbal allies such as ginger, turmeric or cramp bark.
- Stabilising blood sugar and energy – through tailored nutrition that reduces cravings and fatigue.
- Regulating menstrual cycles – by addressing thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormone balance holistically.
Olga’s treatment plans are practical, personal, and designed to fit into your lifestyle—not the other way around. There aren’t any rigid protocols, just the right tools to help your body find balance again.
“My goal is to help you feel steady, clear, and confident in your body — every week of the month, not just some.”
— Olga Mandic, Naturopath
Our Approach at My Natural Clinic
At My Natural Clinic, Olga takes a personalised and evidence-based approach to treating PMS. Every consultation is designed to help you understand what’s happening in your body and guide you toward lasting hormonal balance — not just short-term symptom relief.
1. Book your consultation
After booking, you’ll receive an email with forms and information to complete before your appointment. The first session (1–1.5 hours) focuses on your main concerns, any previous test results, and creating a tailored treatment plan. Please join from a private, quiet space, as we’ll be discussing personal health details.
2. In-depth health review
Follow-up appointments are typically set about four weeks after your first visit, with frequency based on your needs. The aim is to keep visits minimal and equip you with the knowledge and tools to manage your health independently once your goals are met.
3. Personalised plan
Your treatment plan goes beyond general prescriptions, focusing on root causes and tailored herbal and nutraceutical support for cellular health, immunity, gut, neurological function, and energy. It also includes lifestyle and diet education to help you achieve and maintain your health goals.
4. Receive ongoing support
Olga provides continuous support and adapts your care plan to align with your medical treatments and changing needs.

Meet Olga Mandic, Melbourne Naturopath for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
Hello! I’m Olga Mandic, a naturopath, passionate wellness advocate, and founder of My Natural Clinic here in Melbourne’s Bayside. With a deep respect for both natural and evidence-based medicine, I help individuals and families reconnect with their health in a way that feels clear, empowering, and sustainable.
My approach to naturopathy is grounded in science, guided by compassion, and tailored to you. I believe in listening first, truly understanding your health history, lifestyle, and goals, and then designing a treatment plan that fits your unique needs, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
As a mother of three, I know firsthand how hard it can be to put your own health first, and how powerful it is when you do. I work with a wide range of clients, supporting everything from chronic fatigue, gut health, and hormonal imbalances, to everyday stress and preventative wellness, using nutrition, herbal medicine, and lifestyle support to bring balance back to the body.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about naturopathy, consultations, or how our clinic in the City of Bayside can support your health? You’re not alone. Below are answers to some of the most common things people ask before starting their wellness journey with us.
Can I use naturopathic care alongside medication or the pill?
Yes. Naturopathic treatment of PMS can safely complement your existing medical or hormonal therapy. Olga’s approach focuses on supporting the body’s natural pathways, liver, nervous system, and endocrine balance, without interfering with prescribed medications.
How many sessions will I need to see improvements in my PMS symptoms?
Most women notice improvements within 1–2 menstrual cycles. However, long-term regulation may require 3–6 months of consistent care in more chronic, complicated cases.
Do you only treat PMS at My Natural Clinic?
No, we support a wide range of women’s health concerns, including menopause, PCOS, endometriosis, painful or irregular periods, recurrent infections, and overall hormone balance.
Is naturopathy suitable for teenagers with PMS?
Yes. Naturopathic support can be very helpful for teenagers struggling with painful or irregular cycles, and natural remedies provide a gentle, safe option.
Understanding Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
What is Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)?
Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is a collection of emotional, physical, and behavioural symptoms that typically occur in the luteal phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle — the days leading up to her period. These may include mood swings, fatigue, bloating, headaches, irritability, anxiety, breast tenderness, and food cravings.
While over 70% of menstruating women experience some PMS symptoms, for many the discomfort can interfere with work, relationships, and quality of life. Symptoms usually resolve once menstruation begins, but can return monthly if the underlying causes are not addressed.
What causes women to experience Premenstrual Syndrome?
PMS develops from a combination of hormonal, nutritional, histamine and nervous system factors, particularly shifts in estrogen and progesterone levels.
These shifts in levels can influence neurotransmitters such as serotonin and GABA, which influence mood and sleep. Other contributing factors include:
- Nutrient deficiencies (e.g., magnesium, calcium, vitamin B6, omega-3 fatty acids).
- Poor gut health, affecting hormone clearance and increasing inflammation and pain.
- High stress levels, which disrupt hormone balance and worsen mood symptoms.
- Poor liver detoxification, leading to sluggish hormone clearance.
- Blood sugar imbalances, which can trigger cravings, fatigue, and irritability.
- Inflammation, which increases pain and sensitivity to hormonal changes.
These imbalances create the “perfect storm” that leads to emotional sensitivity, headaches, fatigue, and physical tension in the lead-up to menstruation.
Signs you may be suffering from PMS
PMS symptoms can vary from mild to severe, but common signs include:
- Emotional changes such as irritability, anxiety, or depression.
- Physical discomfort like bloating, cramps, breast tenderness, or headaches.
- Fatigue, poor concentration, or sleep disturbances.
- Cravings for sugar, salt, or caffeine.
- Acne flare-ups or oily skin before menstruation.
- Swelling in the hands, feet, or breasts due to fluid retention.
If these symptoms are interfering with your daily life, naturopathic support aims to correct these root causes rather than masking symptoms. Through nutritional and herbal medicine, stress support, and lifestyle strategies, Olga helps your body re-establish a healthy hormonal rhythm, improving mood, reducing discomfort, and bringing long-term cycle stability.
