that creates deficiencies of Qi, Blood, Essence or Liver Blood. The Blood "fails to arrive" (menstruation) and becomes stagnant. Emotional stress, excessive physical work or overwork, poor nutritional choices, anger, sadness, anxiety and worry in today's busy world are common culprits leading to these disorders. Many women feel that they have busy lives, but handle the stress well. Many don't realize the imbalance this causes, many are reluctant to admit it, and many don't perceive it as a disorder.
Other symptoms may include menses that stops after several months with decreasing volume of blood. Fatigue, anxiety or depression, or insomnia are also common symptoms.
Some women may experience:
Poor appetite.
Bloating.
Loose stools.
Constipation.
A woman may either express cold hands and feet, or heat sensations at night. Other women may experience secondary amenorrhea with the cycle lengthening gradually developing to amenorrhea accompanied by foggy thinking, obesity, or excessive vaginal discharge.
These are imbalances that all can be treated with TCM. Your practitioner will determine which organ systems are the cause of your problems and create a treatment protocol specifically for you.
TCM is underutilized and under valued as a primary resource for resolving your health problems. Educate yourself, your mother, sisters, daughters, and friends on the true importance of achieving optimum health naturally. This includes TCM. Integration of Western and Eastern medicine fosters the best medical care.
