How can TCM help with menstrual health?
Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment: TCM focuses on individualized treatment based on a person’s unique constitution and symptoms, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Herbal Medicine: TCM uses specific herbal formulas to address issues like irregular cycles, painful periods, and hormonal imbalances. Herbs like Dong Quai and Ginger are commonly used.
Acupuncture, Gua Sha and Moxibustion: All these traditional modalities can help regulate the menstrual cycle, alleviate pain, and reduce symptoms of conditions like PMS and PCOS by promoting blood flow and balance in the body.
Dietary Guidance: TCM emphasizes a balanced diet tailored to individual needs, often recommending foods that nourish the blood and support liver function.
