Exercise is often recommended for PMS because it can promote endorphin release which can improve mood and increase energy.[1] Psychological modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and other modalities such as acupuncture with and without herbal medicine have been studied for relieving PMS symptoms. However, more research is needed to determine their benefits. [2]
