In Oriental medicine, there is a root imbalance that is causing
gynecological problems. By treating this imbalance,
you can eliminate or greatly
improve these problems and symptoms associated
with them.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine can treat the following gynecological
conditions:

Cervical Dysplasia
Endometriosis
Fibrocystic Breasts

have been found to be extremely helpful for women's cancers as
well.
PREGNANCY
Oriental medicine is able to care for mother and baby in a non-intrusive
and balanced way without the use of medication during pregnancy.
Women who receive acupuncture during their pregnancy experience
smoother
and shorter labor with a quicker recovery.

during pregnancy:

POSTPARTUM
Both Qi and blood are lost during labor, and Oriental medicine
helps to replenish them so that long-term effects of delivery
are minimized.
After delivery, acupuncture is a wonderful way to restore
the health and energy to a new mother so that she can function
better and minimize
the effects of postpartum. It is not uncommon that a new
mother
puts off her own health after a birth by focusing on care
for her newborn.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine can treat the following conditions
during postpartum:
Complications from Cesarean Sections
Insufficient Lactation
Mastitis
Postpartum Depression
Thyroid Conditions
MENOPAUSE
Nearly 50% of American women will be menopausal by the year
2015. Current estimations are that 20 million U.S. women
are in menopause now and
that by 2010 that number will be 60 million. Today's
woman has many more options available to her than her mother
or
grandmother did to
address the symptoms of menopause and effects of aging.
Many women are convinced into taking hormone replacement therapy
(HRT) as a means
of preventing osteoporosis and heart disease. This can
happen
as early as when their menses start to become irregular.
However, they are generally
unaware of the serious risks to them by taking HRT for
long periods of time. Many women do not realize there are other
alternatives available.
Acupuncture
and herbal medicine are very helpful in slowing bone
loss and even increasing bone density. Chinese medicine has the
benifit of needing to be used for a limited time. Once the change
toward health and being symptome free is established many women
can stop taking the herbs and remain symptom free.
Acupuncture and herbal medicine can treat the following
conditions during menopause:
Anxiety
Depression
Fatigue
Hot Flashes
Insomnia
Migraines
Night Sweats
Osteoporosis
Poor Concentration/Memory Loss
Vaginal Dryness and Itching
Loss of Libido
