Strengthening Women’s Health…….Naturally

From the beginning of a woman’s reproductive life her body undergoes many changes up until menopause. In Traditional Chinese Medicine women are considered from pre-menarche to peri-menopausal stages of life and can effectively address any imbalances that may result throughout this stage of a woman’s life.

The reason behind some women suffering ill-health can be attributed to genetic and non-genetic factors.

Genetically, a woman may be predisposed to illness such as dysmenorrhoea (period pain) due to having more prostaglandins released that make the body more sensitive to pain during the menses.

Using the same example of dysmenorrhoea the Non-Genetic Factors that could influence their condition include diet, emotional distress and other lifestyle factors.
Due to the numerous women’s health issues that exist it is impossible to discuss each of them. However, the general aim that is used at East West Health is to regulate the imbalance by nourishing deficiencies and promoting qi and blood circulation, which often is disrupted through the various factors mentioned above.
