PMS
Pre-Menstrual Syndrome
Have you ever wondered what was wrong with you a few days out of the month, usually right before your period?
Do you ever feel you have a Jekyll and Hyde personality?
You could be suffering from PMS or premenstrual syndrome.
Symptoms commonly include some of the following:
- Irritability
- Easily Frustrated
- Quick to Anger
- Breast Tenderness
- Breast Swelling
- Bloating
- Weight Gain
- Abdominal Pain and / or cramping
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- or Alternating Diarrhea and Constipation
- even Nausea
Premenstrual syndrome is generally believed to be due to hormonal imbalances.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used for several millennia to treat PMS symptoms with great success, and this was long before anyone knew about hormones!
Acupuncture treatments begin the process of bringing your system back in balance. Herbal formulas are used to regulate the female endocrine system.
My patients consistently report a marked decrease in their pre-menstrual symptoms, along with an improvement in mental outlook and a decrease in irritability.
If you want to avoid taking drugs and relying on artificial hormones to control your PMS symptoms, you may want to consider acupuncture.
The strongest feature of TCM is its ability to treat conditions for which conventional medicine has no real answer, no treatment and no relief other than those with potential unpleasant side effects.
You should expect to receive a series of acupuncture treatments and one or more herbal formulas to balance the hormones thus reducing or even eliminating your PMS.
