PMS - the premenstrual syndrome

The following symptoms can be found under PMS:

​

  • Emotional imbalance and mood swings

  • breast swelling

  • a headache

  • bloated stomach and gas

  • malaise

  • water retention

 

In the second half of the cycle, Qi & Blood collects in the uterus and prepares everything for a possible implantation of a fertilized egg. An imbalance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone often lead to the symptoms mentioned above.

 

Studies show the effectiveness of a TCM treatment for PMS:  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6614973/

Endometriose TCM

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disease in which the uterine lining is also outside of the uterus. Some possible symptoms of endometriosis are:  

  • severe menstrual pain

  • pain during sexual intercourse

  • Lower back pain

  • Distended abdomen during menstruation

​​

Endometriosis can also make getting pregnant difficult. A TCM therapy focuses mainly on pain relief, supports conception and slows the return of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The use of acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine can be an alternative to medication and hormones.

 

Here is a study on TCM and endometriosis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22592712/
