Do You Have Painful, Heavy, Irregular or Difficult Periods? Here’s How Acupuncture Can Help Regulate Your Menses.
Your monthly period should be a free and easygoing occurance. If you have difficult menstrual cycles, (maybe they are very painful, or you have intense PMS, or you are not regular, or you have an extremely heavy flow) Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Formulas can greatly help regulate your periods so that it doesn’t prevent you from living your normal life. Research suggests acupuncture may help difficult menses by:
Modulating pain signals – Acupuncture stimulates sensory nerves, which promotes the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins, enkephalins, and serotonin. This can reduce the intensity of menstrual cramps.
Improving pelvic blood flow – Needling certain points may reduce uterine muscle spasms, improve circulation, and reduce ischemia (lack of oxygen) in the uterine tissue, which is a key factor in cramping pain.
Reducing inflammation – Acupuncture can lower levels of prostaglandins (chemicals linked to uterine contractions and pain). Women with severe cramps often have higher prostaglandin levels.
Balancing hormones – Some studies suggest acupuncture influences the hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian axis, potentially improving cycle regularity and reducing PMS symptoms.
Stress & nervous system regulation – By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, acupuncture may reduce stress-related hormonal imbalances that worsen period pain.
