Menstrual cramps?
Do you suffer from menstrual cramps
Have you ever questioned if it is “normal” to have menstrual cramps? I never questioned that, I thought it was the way it should be, except for very few “lucky” girls who were the exception!
Now, after many years of using pharmaceutical products for myself to make my life somewhat manageable during menstrual periods, I found that suffering menstrual pain is not “normal”.
According to Chinese Medicine, whenever an obstruction occurs it manifests itself in pain. That is the basics of acupuncture, where the goal is to facilitate the flow of qi (“chee”) within the body.
It is important that your doctor rules out physical diseases that need medical attention, though such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Pelvic Inflammatory disease, Endometriosis, to mention some. When they are ruled out and you want to try a different approach. I can help you to regulate your menstrual periods to make them more regular, with little or no pain using acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal formulas. If you are afraid of needles, we have other pain-free techniques to use.
