GENERAL
In Oriental medicine, there is a root imbalance that is causing gynecological problems. By treating this imbalance, you can eliminate or greatly improve these problems and symptoms associated with them. Generally speaking it takes about three months to see complete changes in a condition.

POSTPARTUM
Both Qi and blood are lost during labor, and Oriental medicine helps to replenish them so that long-term effects of delivery are minimized. After delivery, acupuncture is a wonderful way to restore the health and energy to a new mother so that she can function better and minimize the effects of postpartum. It is not uncommon that a new mother puts off her own health after a birth by focusing on care for her newborn.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can treat the following conditions during postpartum:

Complications from Cesarean Sections
Insufficient Lactation
Mastitis

MENOPAUSE
Nearly 50% of American women will be menopausal by the year 2015. Current estimations are that 20 million U.S. women are in menopause now and that by 2010 that number will be 60 million. Today's woman has many more options available to her than her mother or grandmother did to address the symptoms of menopause and effects of aging. Many women are convinced into taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a means of preventing osteoporosis and heart disease. This can happen as early as when their menses start to become irregular. However, they are generally unaware of the serious risks to them by taking HRT for long periods of time. Many women do not realize there are other alternatives available. Regular exercise, calcium supplements and proper diet may prove to be a better way to prevent osteoporosis and heart disease. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are also helpful in treating bone loss associated with menopause.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can treat the following conditions during menopause:

Anxiety
Depression
Fatigue
Hot Flashes
Insomnia

Migraines
Night Sweats
Osteoporosis
Poor Concentration/Memory Loss
Vaginal Dryness and Itching
