Acupuncture for Period Pain

Menstrual pain and irregularities are a serious issue for many women. Holistic acupuncture offers a safe, effective, and healthy approach to restoring balance and enhancing well-being.

 

Periods can be the bane of many women's lives, but they don’t have to be. It is possible for periods to be a smooth, painless and predictable part of our lives. Yes, really! 

 

Menstrual cycles are commonly linked with mood swings, pain, anxiety, exhaustion, nausea, dizziness, excessive bleeding, acne, migraines, bloating and various other symptoms. Women often resort to artificial chemical solutions that can have significant side effects, such as the contraceptive pill, painkillers or other medications.  This is seen as "normal" by many, but in Chinese Medicine, it is not normal. These symptoms, along with irregular or absent cycles, difficulty conceiving, and other concerns, are a sign of an imbalance in the system, and this is where acupuncture can help.  I love treating gynaecological issues because I have seen how women's lives can be improved immeasurably, and often very quickly. 

 

Sometimes women want to try to conceive but are afraid to come off the pill as it has been disguising her symptoms, and we can help this transition too and encourage a healthy, regular, natural cycle to prepare for conception and pregnancy, or just to get in touch with your natural rhythms.

 

Whether you want to address irregularities, reduce the pain and discomfort associated with your period, address fluctuations in mood and hormonal changes, or transition from chemical contraceptives to a natural cycle, acupuncture offers a safe and effective solution.
