Find relief from menopause, menstrual issues, and other women's health issues
Women’s health issues are a very nuanced and individual experience. It can be frustrating when you go to a Western medical practitioner and feel like all of the solutions you are given are very one-size-fits-all options. Practitioners of Chinese medicine have spent hundreds of years developing herbal formulas and acupuncture point prescriptions that assist your body in balancing its own hormones so that you can get relief by addressing your specific problem.
Premenstrual Syndrome
Do you dread having your period every month? Are you tired of pain, mood swings, irritability, headaches, and other symptoms interrupting your life and keeping you from doing the things you need or want to do? You are not alone. It is estimated that 90% of menstruating people will experience pain and other complications during their menstrual cycle at some point in their lifetime. The good news is acupuncture can help!
Western medicine has a limited number of tools in their toolbox to handle women’s health issues. Treatments usually include oral birth control or IUDs as well as over-the-counter NSAIDs to treat the symptoms of pain. These can provide relief, but they don’t really fix the underlying problem.
Chinese medicine, on the other hand, has many tools in its toolbox to address women’s health: multiple herbal formulas, acupuncture points, and moxa, depending on the diagnosis of the root problem, along with counseling on lifestyle and diet changes to assist the body in achieving the balance it needs to alleviate symptoms. Research has found that acupuncture and herbs helps to relieve pain and other PMS symptoms by stimulating the central nervous system to produce and release endorphins and serotonin as well as helping the endocrine system regulate reproductive hormones.

Menopause
Menopause is a normal and natural transition that every woman goes through as she ages. Although it can be challenging with symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and insomnia, it doesn’t have to be miserable.
Every woman's physiology and health going into menopause is different. This means every woman’s experience with menopause will also be different. As a Chinese medical practitioner, it is my job to look at you through a holistic lens, to see all of you. Bringing your entire being into better balance while also helping your body to regulate its hormones will result in a better outcome and more relief.
The beautiful thing about holistic medicine is that you are not just a list of signs and symptoms or hormone levels in test results, you are a whole person. Seeing all of you is how practitioners formulate our diagnosis and treatment.
