WOMEN’S HEALTH

Chinese medicine has focused on women’s health for thousands of years. Many of the gynecological conditions that affect women today were discussed in early Chinese medical texts. Women of all ages can benefit from Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) care.

For young women just beginning menstruating, acupuncture can help relieve menstrual cramps and the many symptoms associated with PMS. Many times women are told that cramps and symptoms of PMS are a normal part of being a woman. With TCM treatments many of the symptoms usually begin to quickly disappear.

Chronic menstrual problems like fibroids and endometriosis respond well to more long term care of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. For women in menopause, treatments can greatly reduce hot flashes and night sweats to make this time of transition more comfortable. Treatments focus on stopping excessive sweating and restoring restfulness.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been shown to effectively treat many common women’s health concerns. Including:

Endometriosis
Fibroids
Infertility
Low Libido
Vaginal Discharge
Menstrual Problems:

Sciatica

In Chinese medicine, several of the body’s acupuncture meridians govern the development and manifestation of a woman’s gynecological health. Imbalances of these energies of these meridians and in the reproductive organs they nourish can lead to many of the above mentioned disorders.

From a conventional medical standpoint, the endocrine system is responsible for the regulation of the reproductive cycle. Scientific studies and clinical experience have shown that both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can gently correct the hormonal imbalances that are usually of the center of most women’s health issues.

With acupuncture, Chinese herbal treatments, and/or homeopathic formulas many patients see a significant amelioration in symptoms within 2 to 3 menstrual cycles.
