Women's Health & TCM
A woman’s body goes through many cycles in the course of a lifetime.
From the onset of puberty, healthy pregnancy, and menopause, with many years of menstruation in between, a woman’s body is in a constant state of change.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine work to restore balance and overall vitality to women along any stage of their journey.
Gynecological conditions including irregular menses, painful menses, heavy uterine bleeding, Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), fibroids, endometriosis, and infertility along with menopause are some of the most successfully treated problems by acupuncture and TCM.
TCM has long recognized that health and vitality can be sustained over a woman’s lifetime by restoring balance within the body and supporting the natural production of essential hormones.
How TCM can help
- Gently encourages the body’s systems to move toward balance and optimal functioning.
- Increases blood circulation and helps remove blockages such as blood clots and cysts.
- Soothes emotions sedates mental activity and reduces stress. Particularly effective in the premenstrual phase.
- Balances body fluid metabolism, helping reduce the retention of water and enhance the elimination of waste.
- Boosts resistance to viral and bacterial attacks and helps reduce inflammation via immune system regulation.
- Regulates the bowels and urinary function, optimizing the elimination of waste.
- Improves sleep conditions such as trouble falling asleep, light sleep, night sweats and waking early with difficulty going back to sleep.
- Regulates the menstrual cycle including ovulation and PMS via the restoration of hormonal balance.
EMW-TCM Management of Women's Health
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders, affecting an estimated 10% of women of reproductive age.
Among the problems associated with the condition are elevated levels of androgens, ovarian cysts, irregular menstrual cycles and infertility.
Studies has shown that exercise and electro-acupuncture treatments reduce sympathetic nerve activity in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
Electro-acupuncture treatments also led to more regular menstrual cycles, reduced testosterone levels and reduced waist circumference.
Endometriosis is described as the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the endometrium.
Endometrial cells are those that are found in the uterine lining. Often associated with swelling and severe pain, endometriosis can be debilitating.
Acupuncture causes the brain to stimulate your body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals – lessening your pain and improving blood circulation to reduce swelling.
Acupuncture combined with herbal medicine restrains heavy bleeding associated with fibroids and endometriosis and relieves pain.
