Menstrual Problems
A woman’s body goes through a truly wondrous series of hormonal events within her lifetime. Starting off with menarche, through the puberty years, advancing onto the many reproductive years and then petering off with menopause. Our monthly cycles are in a constant steady flux between Yin and Yang. A little discomfort around period time is normal but definitely not raging pains.
Our menses depend on the proper and balanced functioning of our Zang-Fu (organ) systems and the smooth movement of Qi and Blood. Any disturbance e.g. breast tenderness, headaches, back pain and irritability during (also pre & post) menstruation is a cause for concern.
So what can, and how can, acupuncture help problems around period time? Acupuncture can regularize cycles, eliminate clots, relieve pain and any other dreaded PMT symptoms that lurk and pounce each month. By treating the root cause of the problem, acupuncture eliminates those nasty symptoms thereby restoring harmony and happiness of body, soul and mind.
