For over 5000 years, Chinese acupuncture has been used to treat women’s health issues like PMS. PMS or Premenstrual syndrome is usually marked by chronic symptoms just before the actual menstrual cycle. The symptoms may include food cravings, changes in mood and the skin, cramping, discomfort and pain.
Is there a way to resolve these symptoms?
Typical remedies for PMS symptoms include limiting one’s intake of caffeine, taking vitamins, consuming a diet rich in nutrients, exercise and removing stressors. However, these basic changes in lifestyle are often not enough to relieve the pain and discomforts of those who suffer from symptoms of chronic PMS.
Are there real solutions?
One truly effective and validated way of treating PMS symptoms is acupuncture. As mentioned above, premenstrual syndrome has been effectively resolved with Chinese acupuncture for millennia. This therapy helps quell the monthly conditions by bringing back vitality and eliminating energy blockages in the body. Acupuncturists often are able to effectively treat and even cure the imbalances connected with this condition.
Natural Remedies for PMS Symptoms
Lifestyle Modifications
Activities such as Qi Gong and Tai Chi are great ways to treat PMS symptoms as they enable the uninterrupted flow of energy in the body. A freely flowing qi helps prevent discomfort and diseases arising in the body.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal therapy is often combined with acupuncture for treating PMS. Chinese herb prescriptions can help bring back balance and harmonize the systems of the body. The herbal formula Xiao Yao Wan is the most commonly used formula for premenstrual syndrome. The formula’s name translates to “Free and Easy Pill.” You can find this product at your nearest TCM clinic or at health food stores. Xiao Yao Wan is composed of several herbs that have the ability to relieve the stagnation of Qi as well as relieve pain, soothe the Liver, strengthen the Spleen and nourish the Blood.
Acupuncture
An acupuncturist is a skilled TCM practitioner who is properly trained to determine the points on the body needed to be treated to bring about a stimulation that would help remove the blockages in the meridians and bring about unimpeded Qi flow. After a few months of acupuncture, the patient can be entirely free of any Qi stagnation that brings about her PMS.
Improve Your Life!
A lot of women are resigned to the belief that their monthly PMS symptoms are an unavoidable part of life. Moreover, they think that there is very little that they can do to alter that. One needs to proactively take measures against this condition that can significantly help better her vitality and health.
