Up to 80% of women experience PMS symptoms. However, we believe that a smooth, easy and pain free menstrual cycle is possible through Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.
According to Chinese medical theory, menopause occurs when a woman’s body no longer produces sufficient blood to sustain a monthly period without this blood loss being draining on her body, and particularly draining on her kidneys. Chinese medicine refers to the kidneys as the “root of life and longevity”. Therefore, the body reverses the flow of blood down to the uterus from the heart. Rather, blood from the kidneys is sent up to the heart to nourish the woman’s spirit. Thus, in Chinese medicine, menopause is seen as a true change in life from mother of biological children, to mother of the community. This is why in traditional cultures post-menopausal women are regarded as wise women. In post menopausal women, the heart spirit is nourished and enlightened in a way that it was not before they experienced menopause.
