Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)  
Acupuncture

Acupuncture can help relieve PMS symptoms by regulating hormones and improving blood flow, which may reduce cramps, bloating, and breast tenderness. It also supports the nervous system, helping to ease mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and fatigue commonly associated with PMS. Regular acupuncture treatments may promote a more balanced menstrual cycle and improve overall well-being throughout the month.

Cupping can help ease PMS symptoms by improving circulation, relaxing tight muscles, and reducing stress in areas commonly affected by hormonal tension, such as the lower back, abdomen, and hips. The gentle suction created by the cups encourages blood and lymphatic flow, which can help reduce bloating, cramping, and the sense of heaviness often felt before menstruation. By loosening muscle tightness and calming the nervous system, cupping may also ease mood-related symptoms like irritability and fatigue. Many people find that this combination of physical and relaxation benefits helps their body feel more balanced and comfortable throughout the menstrual cycle.

Chinese herbal medicine can help relieve PMS by addressing the underlying imbalances that contribute to symptoms such as cramps, mood swings, bloating, and fatigue. Traditional formulas are often designed to regulate the flow of Qi and blood, support healthy hormone balance, and calm the nervous system. Many herbs work to reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, and improve circulation to the lower abdomen, which can lessen pain and discomfort before menstruation. Others help stabilize mood, reduce stress, and support restful sleep. When combined and customized to an individual’s specific pattern, Chinese herbal medicine offers a holistic approach that can make the menstrual cycle feel smoother and more manageable.
