"Women's" issues and Chinese Medicine: herbs better than bc pills in some cases

This study's title is about pelvic pain and Chinese Medicine but it lists other issues that are resolved by acupuncture and/or herbs and that may require more study so that these therapies are more accessible to women. There is NO reason to suffer through what we commonly call "women's issues".

More evidence that Acupuncture/Chinese Medicine helps those with fertility challenges

I keep reading study results like this one and don't understand why more couples don't consider a natural medicine either before they start on hormonal and physical procedures or in conjunction with them. All hormonal and physical procedures cause more qi and blood stagnation so why not combat that using acupuncture?! Additionally, research has demonstrated that women who undergo hormonal procedures are at a higher risk for certain gynecological cancers. I've said this for years: our hormonal systems are BASIC to our existence, they don't tolerate hormonal intervention very well. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-01-traditional-chinese-medicine-fertility-treatments.html

Chinese herbs shown effective for treating fertility issues!

A recent study from the Adelaide University titled “Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine in the management of female infertility: A systematic review” found that that “Chinese herbal therapy improved pregnancy rates as much as 2-fold in just a 4-month period in comparison with Western Medical fertility drug therapy or IVF.”

PMS and pain are NOT a normal period: research shows that Chinese Medicine helps

A recent Cochrane meta-analysis reported acupuncture may be an effective treatment to manage primary dysmenorrhea. Acupuncture significantly improved pain when compared to a placebo control as well as NSAIDs. Acupuncture also strongly reduced menstrual symptoms when compared with medication.

Believe it or not, your period can show up easily without PMS or pain. Cramps mean that your uterine wall has too much lactic acid in it leading to muscle tension/cramping and uneasy flow. That's not normal. Women's issues respond very well to acupuncture and Chinese herbal prescriptions.
