Women's Health
Why should you consider treatment?
Many gynecological symptoms, which women have been raised to think of as normal, are in fact, treatable. It is only because so many women have them, that they have become the “norm”. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs work together to help women with the imbalances that cause these “norms”. It takes approximately three cycles to treat a woman’s gynecological system.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine:
- PMS symptoms can be reduced or eliminated
- Cycles can be regular
- Periods do not have to be painful
- Women do not need to “settle” for heavy periods.
