Women’s health is a hot topic, and rightfully so. A woman’s body goes through many changes throughout her life. Some of these changes happen gracefully while others, frankly, do not. It is important for a woman to feel empowered and comfortable in their body. She should know the different ways she can bring her body back into balance when those changes occur. Taking good care of your health and well-being is part of living in harmony with yourself and your environment, and creating the quality of life you deserve.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are safe, effective and natural ways to bring a woman’s body back into balance. It is useful during every stage of a woman’s life to address a wide variety of health concerns. This includes women’s health from pre-pubescence all to way to post-menopause. Taking a holistic approach to our health and recovery helps our Qi to flow freely. It nourishes our cells, tissues, muscles, and organs. Chen Ziming, an ancient TCM doctor, wrote about this in his book, “Fu Ren Da Quan Liang Fang” (Compendium of Good Remedies for Women). “…Whenever treating disease, one first needs to discuss what [a particular case] is ruled by. In men, regulate their qi; in women, regulate their blood […] Thus in women, blood is the foundation. When qi and blood flow freely, their spirit is naturally clear.” In other words, when a woman’s menstrual cycle is flowing freely and the hormones are balanced and uninhibited, feeling great is a natural result.
TCM therapies can help smooth the transition into puberty. This can include growing pains, regulating the menstrual cycle, decreasing and/or eliminating PMS symptoms, and assisting with amenorrhea (no period). They can also help treat PCOS, endometriosis, and other conditions that can contribute to female infertility. Chinese herbal medicine, as well as acupuncture, are useful to support a healthy pregnancy and delivery. They can help with post-partum issues as well as facilitating lactation. Many women struggling with the transition into menopause also find TCM a natural alternative to aggressive hormone replacement therapies. Addressing ourselves holistically helps create a healthy body, a happy mind, and a peaceful spirit.
