PERIOD PROBLEMS / PMS
Acupuncture seems to be particularly good at treating problems with the menstrual cycle, e.g. Heavy or light bleeding, painful periods, irregular cycles and Pre Menstrual Stress / Tension. I regularly treat these in the clinic, but it is often a secondary complaint, that only comes to light during the full traditional diagnosis, as many women consider their period to be normal simply because they have not compared it to others and because they have had them the way they are for so long.
Treatment would need to be weekly throughout one full cycle, then approximately fortnightly throughout the next 2 cycles to coincide with pre ovulation and pre period. After this there should be a significant difference in your symptoms. After this a treatment once a month, either pre ovulation or period may be needed for a while, to ensure the best results.
