TCM's view of the organ systems differs when compared to that of Western Medicine. The Kidney system, for example, is responsible for reproductive development, aging and reproductive problems. The Spleen system is responsible for making Qi (vitality/ energy) and Blood. Since the Heart and mind are interconnected energetically and through pathways son the body, it is an important aspect of calmness, wellness, and an even emotional state. The Liver system travels through the reproductive areas, through the breast, through the chest are to the head. PMS signs are usually due to blockages in this system.

TCM seeks and treats the root cause, rather than masking symptoms. By treating the symptoms, Western medicine prolongs illness by prescribing medications which really never addresses the true problem. Why not rid yourself of the ailment once and for all?

TCM looks at the effects of your lifestyle, nutritional choices, and stress as factors which help or hurt your problems. Your TCM practitioner discusses options and choices to improve your health and wellness.

TCM has early detection systems that treat illnesses before they actually show up on a diagnostic test. This aspect is often underutilized and educating patients on how TCM works enhances patient care.

TCM supports the immune system, reduces stress, improves vitality and helps you with your sense of well- being"naturally. Avoid chronic illnesses if you can keep yourself healthy and strong.

Acupuncture is now covered by many insurance companies. Check your coverage and take advantage of being healthier more naturally without the harsh side effects of drugs.

Bridging the gap between Western and Eastern care improves your quality of life. Explore TCM for any of your health problems. By using the best from both worlds you can feel better. You are much more than ovaries and a uterus!

Your first wealth is your health.
