Irregular Menstruation
Irregular periods are very common and can make it difficult to conceive. Even if you are not trying to have a baby, Chinese medicine considers a regular menstrual rhythm to be an important sign of good health. Irregular menses can be caused by an imbalance that results in hormone fluctuations throughout the month. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have been used for hundred of years to balance hormones, restore rhythm, and encourage a more predictable ovulation, which helps regulate the menstrual cycle.
Painful Periods
We have said it before and we will say it again. Your period SHOULD NOT be painful. Many of our patients start their MRW journey because they have missed work, events and more because of the crippling pain they experience. For decades the only way western medicine dealt with painful periods was by putting women on the pill. But this is not the best solution. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help control the inflammatory response that may be causing this pain. We will work with you to get to the underlying root of this.
Perimenopause & Menopause
The hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue, weight fluctuations, night sweats, low libido, cloudy mind and more are a natural part of the body’s process through this period of life. But that doesn’t mean you have to just suffer silently. Chinese medicine can be a powerful tool to help you regulate these symptoms and endure a gentle transition.
