What We Help
Women’s Health
Excluding fertility and pregnancy-related issues, women often seek Chinese medicine treatment for various other health conditions. Here are some of the primary issues along with the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) perspective and commonly used treatments:
- Menstrual Disorders: These include irregular periods, dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and menopausal symptoms. TCM views these issues as imbalances in qi and blood or disharmony in liver and kidney functions. Common treatments include herbal medicine and acupuncture to regulate the menstrual cycle and alleviate symptoms.
- Menopausal Symptoms: For symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and mood swings, TCM attributes these to kidney essence deficiency and yin-yang imbalance. Treatments usually involve herbal medicine and acupuncture to stabilize hormone levels and relieve discomfort.
- Breast Health: Conditions such as mastitis, breast tenderness, and fibrocystic breast disease are approached with herbs and acupuncture in TCM, aiming to promote qi and blood circulation and resolve blockages to reduce symptoms.
- Urinary and Reproductive Health: Treatments for urinary tract infections, yeast infections, and other pelvic inflammatory diseases might involve herbal medicine and cupping to clear heat, promote dampness, and enhance the health of the urinary and reproductive systems.
- Gynecological Inflammations: For issues like bacterial vaginosis and vulvodynia, TCM treatments may include herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion to balance the internal environment and boost immunity.
- Chronic Pain and Other Systemic Issues: Conditions such as migraines, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome are commonly treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine in TCM, focusing on restoring balance and enhancing energy flow throughout the body.
