Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can treat issues related to menstrual disorders, pain, fertility, pregnancy, and menopause. A key tenet of TCM is balance in the body, particularly the harmony of qi (body’s energy flow), blood, and yin and yang. Any discomfort experienced by a woman during her menses is likely from imbalance. TCM treats the illness by getting to the root of the problem. Typical forms of treatment are acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Generally, within three months patients will notice improvement.

Menopause can be uncomfortable. Fortunately, TCM treats multitude of symptoms as the balance of yin and yang changes and the menstrual cycle slows. Some frequently treated conditions include anxiety, depression, hot flashes, insomnia, low libido, night sweats, and vaginal dryness and itching.
