Heal your Mind, Body and Soul
with Central Earth Acupuncture, Cupping & Massage
A Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Aiea, HI
Chinese medicine and acupuncture has a long history of treating and supporting women’s health. One of the earliest Chinese medical texts dedicated to gynecology dates back to 652 AD, written by legendary physician Sun Simiao. He dedicated the first 3 volumes (after an introductory volume) of his 30 volume medical opus to women’s health. He emphasized the importance of supporting women’s health with the following:
“Now the present collection of treatments is arranged by placing the treatments for women and children first, and those for husbands and the elderly afterwards.”
With such strong emphasis on women’s health at its roots, it’s no wonder Chinese medicine has developed into a powerful and popular complementary therapy for modern women nowadays. In this article, we’ll look at acupuncture for women’s health and 6 main areas Chinese medicine can help with.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, the body is undergoing many changes, very quickly. This means it is very common to experience a wide range of symptoms during pregnancy such as morning sickness, pain, lethargy, insomnia, swelling, etc. Acupuncture offers a safe treatment option for symptomatic relief.
In Chinese medicine, women are treated delicately during pregnancy because the happier and healthier you feel, the better your body can support a healthy pregnancy and labor.
Overall Health and Well-Being
Here at Central Earth Healing - Oahu Acupuncture Clinic, we use acupuncture to help support healthy digestion, restore sleep patterns, reduce pain, boost energy and uplift moods as a foundation to our treatments. Improving these areas goes a long way to supporting specific issues within women’s health.
Menstrual Health
Acupuncture has long been used to help regulate and support healthy menstruation. Over the years, Chinese medicine recognized and developed treatments for issues around women’s menstrual cycles including PMS symptoms, painful periods (dysmenorrhea), irregular cycles, abnormal loss of period (amenorrhea), heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), etc.
When supporting menstrual health, we take a detailed history of symptoms specific to your period as well as general health. Our trusted licensed acupuncturist, Dr. Annie (Han) Yang 杨 will then come up with a treatment plan and track improvements over at least 3 cycles - looking for gradual improvements in symptoms as well as overall health.
Fertility
Many women seek out acupuncture to help support fertility for natural conception or in combination with IVF. While our treatment approaches change slightly according to where you might be on your cycle, if you’re currently trying, or where you’re at in a particular IVF process, there is an underlying focus on helping relieve stress.
We then combine traditional points that have been used for thousands of years to support fertility and points address any underlying issues with the menstrual cycle.
Post-Partum
In traditional Chinese culture, the time after pregnancy is a time to focus solely on recovery and bonding with your new baby. Acupuncture has traditional points to help with recovery as well as helping with things that may come up such as breast milk production, pain, mood and energy issues, etc. The hardest part is finding the time for yourself at this stage.
Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause will affect women in different ways. There are some common symptoms such as hot flushes, dizziness, insomnia, mood changes, etc., but how one woman experiences this transition can be vastly different to another.
That is where Chinese medicine pattern differentiation comes into play - our job is to look at the whole picture of your symptoms and come up with a tailored treatment to treat you as a whole person, not just seeking temporary relief from hot flushes.
If you would like to try acupuncture treatments for women's health, make sure you seek out licensed acupuncturist Dr. Annie (Han) Yang 杨 and the team of Oahu Acupuncture Clinic in Aiea, HI. We work closely with you to explain the whole process and come up with a treatment plan that suits you and your needs. Throughout treatment, we set up ways for us to track and check on your progress to ensure you continue to find value in your treatments.
