Menstrual Cycle

Achieving a Pain-Free and Regular Menstrual Cycle

You need not live with menstrual cramps, fatigue, excessive bleeding, and other issues that many women take for granted. Chinese medicine believes that all women deserve a regular and pain free menstrual cycle.

In fact, we approach all gynecological conditions by first regulating the menstrual cycle. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs do this by naturally balancing hormones, preventing abnormal tissue growth, and promoting smooth discharge of the endometrial lining. Unlike other treatments (birth control, hormone therapies, etc.), acupuncture and Chinese medicine do not mask your symptoms, but encourage the body to heal and regulate itself.

This process corrects the hormonal imbalances that cause most gynecological disorders. The positive side effects of treating your chief complaint will be a more balanced system, a healthier body, and a better quality of life.

Menses and Your Overall Health

Every woman knows how intimately her menstrual cycle is connected to her physical and emotional wellbeing. The “Tian Gui”, or “heavenly water”, as the menses is called, is the external manifestation of your body’s internal health and abundance. It is also a primary indicator of your reproductive as well as your overall health. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can support your reproductive health.
