PMS/PMDD can be a myriad of symptoms like headaches, bloating, breast tenderness, back pain, cravings, weepy, irritable, heavy bleeding and cramping prior to or during bleeding. If you are a woman suffering from severe PMS, I can assure you that you don’t have to live like that. I have had many women come into the office who could not go to work when their bleeding. However, I would say that 100% of them received great relief with Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs. All of them can go to work despite being on their period. Some may notice their symptoms come back if they are not compliant or are under excessive stress during that particular cycle. But generally most never have to be incapacitated again. It is said in Chinese Medicine that a woman’s cycle goes with her emotions and most women notice that they have smoother cycles when under less pressure and stress. So the key in most cases is reducing stress and Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs will do that. We may also include bio-identical Progesterone Cream as well. However, managing stress is key for healing to occur and to prevent the recurrence of symptoms. Please note that when your cycle is free of PMS, you will increase your ability to conceive.
