Endometriosis is described as the abnormal growth of endometrial tissue outside the endometrium, or cells that are found in the uterine lining. It impacts the quality of life of an individual by causing chronic pain in the pelvic region, painful periods, abnormal uterine bleeding, and infertility. There are no known causes of endometriosis or cure according to Western Medicine. The solution is usually surgery, and very often, the tissues grow back. Luckily, this condition responds well to Chinese medicine with proper treatment. Clinical practice has shown that acupuncture is effective for the treatment of pain related to endometriosis. Women suffering from endometriosis pain have found acupuncture is an effective treatment modality.
Menstrual Disorders
Many women are surprised to find out that acupuncture and herbal therapy can help to regulate, as well as address other associated symptoms related to their menstrual cycles. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are safe, natural, and hormone-free ways to correct hormonal imbalances. The use of Chinese medicine to treat the menstrual cycle can be traced back to writings on bone and shell fragments from 1600 B.C. during the Shang Dynasty.
The typical Western medical treatment for menopause is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), which is normally started when the first symptoms of menopause appear. While they may alleviate hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis, they will also increase the risk of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer, and have a number of significant side-effects. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are natural and hormone-free treatments that detect energetic imbalances that occur in the body and quickly relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, foggy mind, and irritability.
Traditional Chinese Medicine does not focus on treating one symptom. Instead, it aims to correct the underlying energetic imbalances each individual has. Each treatment is customized with different acupuncture points, herbs and lifestyle and diet recommendations. Continue to learn TCM Treatment Evaluation for Menopause.
