ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT FOR PRE-MENSTRUAL TENSION

In the west, we are accustomed to thinking that maladies surrounding menstruation – pain, heavy bleeding, premenstrual tension (PMT) and headaches, to name but a few – are part and parcel of the female experience. Symptoms can range from the mildly annoying to utterly debilitating, impacting all areas of one’s life. Thankfully, TCM takes a different view and teaches us that, while incredibly common, these conditions are not found in a harmonious bodily landscape and need not be silently endured.
