How we can aid with Women’s Health
Painful Periods
Periods do not have to be painful. We may have been taught that
this is ‘normal’ but it doesn’t have to be. Teenage girls or young
women will often be given the oral contraceptive pill to help
eradicate these symptoms however if you’re wanting to keep
things as natural as possible, perhaps consider trying acupuncture
and herbal medicine as an alternative. We see any pain in the
body as a blockage of energy and blood, we gently move this stuck
energy with acupuncture and herbs that will help regulate blood
flow, and ease pain.
Endometriosis and Adenomyosis
Endometriosis and adenomyosis is a complex inflammatory
condition. In our treatments we look to see what factors may
be contributing to the worsening of endometriosis in each
individual. Here we carefully select herbs to specifically treat
your pattern of pain. Your practitioner will go through things
specific to you and your condition based on our findings during
the consultation such as simple diet modifications and lifestyle
changes that can also have a profound impact on it.
PCOS
This is a complex condition where we often see patterns of stasis
(of blood and fluids) or deficiency. With regular acupuncture,
herbs and dietary changes it is possible to regulate the cycle again.
Amenorrhea (no periods)
This can be due to many factors and alongside regular
acupuncture and herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle
recommendations, we can restore the blood to help the cycles
return.
PMS
Bloating, breast tenderness, mood swings, fluid retention – these are
all signs of hormonal imbalances and acupuncture is wonderful at
easing these symptoms and regulating the cycles.
Irregular Periods
We do a thorough consultation to see where the imbalance is
stemming from and treat accordingly with and acupuncture and
herbs.
Thrush
When too much heat and pathological fluids builds up in the body –
this can cause thrush. We have wonderful herbal washes that can
naturally dry this up and ease any burning, stinging and itching.
Urinary Tract Infections
This is a sign of heat in the bladder, and we have some helpful herbs
that can naturally help flush this out and clear any infections.
Menopause
This can be a time of great unease for many women. But it is a time of
natural change and progression, but instead of it being a bumpy
uncomfortable ride – we can help ease the fluctuations during this
time.
