When it comes to the menstrual cycle, there is a great deal of variation to what women experience. Some women have uneventful menstrual cycles, and sail right through to menopause without a second thought. However, these women are the exception. The reality is that many women experience symptoms of some kind related to their reproductive cycles over the course of their lives. Western treatments for irregular cycles, premenstrual syndrome, painful periods, and menopausal symptoms often includes synthetic hormones to suppress the imbalance. Chinese medicine offers a holistic solution to treating these issues naturally by correcting the imbalance, rather than suppressing the imbalance. Diet modifications, regular exercise, and other lifestyle changes can help clear systemic inflammation, which often underlies these hormonal irregularities and unwanted symptoms.

If you have issues related to your menstrual cycle or are experiencing menopausal symptoms, acupuncture and Chinese medicine may be your answer for safe and effective relief.
