How can Traditional Chinese Medicine help with menstruation?
The principles of Chinese medicine tell us that a healthy reproductive system is based on genetics and lifestyle factors. That said, just because your mother had menstrual problems, your’s are unique to you and you are not destined to have the same experience. Positive changes to your lifestyle can benefit your menstrual cycle and reproduction.
During the menstrual cycle, a woman’s body is completing an internal cleansing. Chinese medical techniques used for women’s health are directed at re-balancing the Qi to relieve pain, emotional problems, and stress. If the Qi becomes sluggish and fails to flow freely, problems ensue such as endometriosis, depression, abdominal cramping, low back pain, and headaches. Our goal at The Phoenix & Dragon is to apply Chinese medical practices and offer lifestyle counseling to encourage free-flowing Qi for optimal menstruation.

In general, when a woman’s cycle is regular, including sufficient volume and duration, and a healthy color and without clots, minimal pain, and free from PMS symptoms, she is more likely to conceive. In addition conception and a healthy pregnancy will be benefitted by having regular digestion, elimination, good sleep, a healthy diet and appetite, along with a positive mood, and abundant energy. Acupuncture helps to regulate the body’s hormones to stimulate fertility.
