The menstrual cycle is a good
indicator of a woman's general health. A cycle that is regular with a flow that
is adequate and without discomfort indicates that blood production and
circulation are healthy.
Few women can say they have
never experienced menstrual-related disorders. Over 50% of women of
childbearing age suffer from some form of menstrual discomfort. The two most
common disorders associated with menstruation are premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhea (menstrual
cramps).
Chinese Medicine believes that
when we experience menstrual discomfort, the body is trying to communicate to
us an imbalance needing treatment or care. The approach to treating the discomfort
needs to be a natural and holistic one. This means we need to not only address
the associated symptoms, but we also need to address the underlying cause. By
identifying the nature of the condition, appropriate acupuncture treatment or Chinese
herbal remedies can be administered to address the condition as a whole. Traditional
Chinese medicine has been proven safe and effective without adverse side
effects. If you would like to pursue this form of treatment or information,
