ACHIEVING A PAIN FREE AND REGULAR MENSTRUAL CYCLE

Every woman knows how intimately her menstrual cycle is connected to her physical and emotional well being. The “Tian Gui,” or “heavenly water,” as the menses is called, is the external manifestation of your body’s internal health and abundance. The “Tian Gui” is a primary indicator of your reproductive as well as your overall health. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs support you from the onset of your menstrual cycle, through your reproductive years, and into menopause. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs give you the tools to listen to your body and take charge of your reproductive health.

You need not live with menstrual cramps, fatigue, excessive bleeding, and other normal, menses related issues that most women take for granted. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs begin treating all gynecological conditions by restoring a regular and painless menstrual cycle. 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.

By regulating the menstrual cycle, acupuncture can correct 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.

MENOPAUSE

Just as a healthy menstrual cycle is a sign of internal harmony, so does a seamless menopause indicate the beginning of a healthy aging process. If the imbalances that contributed to an irregular menstrual cycle go unaddressed, they eventually lead to the signs and symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, flooding and spotting, insomnia, irritability, and the like. Fortunately, it is never too late to treat these conditions. Acupuncture treatment in the years leading up to and during menopause can ease this transition and help women realize their full health potential for many years to come.
