Acupuncture is effective at treating many disorders by increasing the flow of blood to reproductive organs, balancing hormones and improving how well your body is able to use hormones. When your body is in balance, symptoms often resolve. Along with acupuncture, the addition of a Chinese herbal treatment can promote the best outcomes for a menstrual disorder. An herbal formula is a customized mix of natural powdered herbs, taken orally after dissolving in water. It is typically recommended that patients receive acupuncture and herbs for 3 to 6 cycles, and longer if necessary.
Lifestyle is often a key component to gynecological disorders. Chinese Medicine can help patients reduce stress levels and improve sleep while optimizing diet through nutritional counseling. Improvements in these areas will not only improve disorders, but have many other benefits to your health and happiness. Your practitioner may also recommend increased exercise. An increase in daily exercise can increase endorphins, which are your body’s natural pain killers. This in turn can reduce period pain.
