Acupuncture is effective in managing menstrual pain. We believe that the efficacy of acupuncture in reducing pain is attributed to its impact on the nervous system, providing valuable relief for individuals experiencing painful menstrual periods. Our clinic works with each patient’s unique symptoms to regulate blood flow and relax the nervous system. Acupuncture also helps to regulate menstrual cycles by balancing hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, FSH, and AMH. Overall we have seen that acupuncture alleviates painful menstrual symptoms and promotes regular cycles by improving blood circulation and regulating the flow of energy in the body while reducing anxiety and stress and harmonizing the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems.

Our clinic also uses moxibustion, a traditional Chinese medicine practice involving the controlled burning of herbs, to alleviate menstrual pain. Our goal is to enhance the circulation of blood and energy within the body, providing a deep and pleasant heating sensation on the skin. Moxibustion is particularly beneficial for individuals with cold or stagnant conditions, as it is believed to expel cold and warm the body, promoting a smooth flow of energy and blood. This technique can effectively address dysmenorrhea, reducing pain by stimulating the flow and release of hormones responsible for uterine contractions. Moxibustion is also valuable for women with fibroids, as it increases blood flow and may lead to a reduction in fibroid size over time.
