Women’s Health
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
TCM is often very effective in the area of women’s health.
PMS Symptoms include breast tenderness, increased moodiness, bloating and food cravings. Both acupuncture and Chinese herbs are very effective in ameliorating PMS symptoms. Two to three cycles are often needed to affect a change.
Menstrual Problems – These include painful periods, no periods and irregular periods. Because these symptoms are often created by a stagnation of qi and blood in the uterus area, Chinese medicine is very helpful in reducing these symptoms. Two to three cycles are usually needed to affect a change.
