The female body goes through many changes over the course of a lifetime – from menarche to menopause and everything in between. Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine are amazing tools to support an individual through these transitions!

So many women suffer from painful periods, mood swings, bloating, breast tenderness, headaches, and other debilitating symptoms every month! On average, most women will spend around ten years of their life menstruating - that’s TEN YEARS of their life spent in pain or discomfort. Sadly, most Americans accept this as the norm and believe that there is not much to be done about it.

Unpleasant symptoms associated with Menopause also tend to be viewed as the norm. From a Chinese medicine perspective, menopause is just another cycle of growth. It is commonly referred to as the “second spring”.

The good news is that Chinese medicine has been effectively treating the cycles and complexities of menstrual health for thousands of years. Chinese medicine identifies and treats the root cause of these problems and looks at the person as a whole, not simply a group of symptoms. Acupuncture is great at treating a wide variety of gynecological problems, largely because it regulates the reproductive hormones in the body and decreases inflammation.
