Women’s Health
Women go through a lot in their lifetimes. Our physical and emotional health often hold complexities that are intertwined and can be a mystery to many health modalities. The power of Chinese Medicine is the all-encompassing framework of the human body, mind and spirit in which it sees the body to work with the whole person to bring a person from a pattern of dis-ease back to a pattern of harmony once again. As Chinese Medicine practitioners, we uncover the origin story of the myriad of symptoms a woman might be facing that at times seem steeped in mystery.
As nature brings on ebbs and flows of life in all living things, so the cyclic nature of a woman’s menstruation should be – regular, smooth and non-destructive. The cycles of ovulation to menstrual bleeds to the seasons of birth and menopause should be a celebration of nature flowing through with ease. This means periods should be painless, pregnancy should be comfortable, postpartum a chance to rebuild and menopause is marked by a gentle hormonal transition into a new phase of life.
