Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) as an Effort to Improve Mood Swing Premenstruation Syndrome

Towards or during the menstrual cycle there are changes in the balance of various hormones such as endorphins, serotonin, and other hormones that determine mood. Mood swings, commonly known as premenstrual syndrome, fluctuate involving alternating feelings of happiness, sadness, anger, and depression, which are often known as Mood Swings. This condition can be minimized with non-pharmacological therapy, one of which is SEFT (Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique).
