Do you feel irritable and emotional during your cycle? Do you suffer from breast discomfort, headaches or acne each month? You are not alone.  Menstrual issues are one of the most common disorders treated by Find Your Balance Acupuncture. Most patients have success reducing or eliminating these discomforts though acupuncture and Chinese herbal treatments.  Find Your Balance Acupuncture specializes in treating women’s health issues and Traditional Chinese Medicine has some of the most effective treatments for gynecological disorders.

According to Chinese Medicine, an ideal cycle is one that has a regular length, bright red blood with moderate flow and little to no pain or other symptoms. Many women do not experience this ideal period, so you are not alone. Cycle issues can range in severity from a mild annoyance to severe pain. Western Medicine often struggles to offer relief other than through recommendations for synthetic hormones or ibuprofen . These medications can cause side effects in many people. Chinese Medicine offers an alternative with little to no side effects.   This natural treatment can help you get your hormones back into balance.

Many gynecological disorders have been found to respond well to Chinese Medical treatments.  The following list includes some of the most commonly treated issues:
​

Endometriosis
Infertility
​Dysmenorrhea
Abnormal uterine bleeding
Premenstrual syndrome
Menopausal syndrome
Uterine fibroids
Chronic pelvic inflammation
Polycystic ovarian syndrome

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.

Find Your Balance is here to help. We look forward to working with you to create more balance.
