Understanding your menstrual cycle helps alleviate uncertainty and supports body autonomy. In Chinese Medicine, there are 4 phases in the cycle. At each point in the cycle, imbalance can occur and result in symptoms like PMS, PMDD, painful periods, mood changes and more. For most menstrual issues, we will target a specific time in your cycle for treatment. We decide this after meeting with you, learning about your symptoms and diagnosing your pattern using the pulse and tongue. In addition to acupuncture, we may also suggest dietary tweaks, herbal medicine and other at home care.
