Women with at least five PMS signs and moderate-to-severe period pain were assigned to exercise alone, herbs alone, both combined, or control groups. Exercises included stretching and walking three times weekly for eight weeks. Herbal capsules were taken three times daily for two months, beginning within 72 hours of menstruation.
