Women's Health

Women today are more empowered than ever: in careers, communities, society, and in life.  For many women, the monthly cycle affects and influences levels of comfort and functionality.  Symptoms such as mood swings, depression, irregular spotting, heavy cramping, breast tenderness, headaches, heavy periods, no period, eating habits, anxieties, and sexual dysfunctions, just to name a few, are often related to the hormonal fluctuations that women’s bodies go through every cycle.

Just as every woman’s cycle is different, we look at each patient and their unique set of symptoms individually.  In Chinese Medicine, there is no “box” to which our patients fit. No matter how unrelated their symptoms or ailments may seem, our practitioners are trained to recognize that these symptoms, or “branches,” have deeply set “root” imbalances. We create a unique treatment plan based on each individual and their own imbalance.  Acupuncture, herbs, moxa, cupping and diet/lifestyle are utilized as the practitioner sees fit to help create balance within the body and smooth the rhythms that are part of a woman’s cycle.  Many Lives Chinese Medicine aims to help empower women to overcome these types of irregularities and discomforts, so that fluctuations are experienced with greater ease.

For women in later stages of life, perimenopause and menopause bring to light a different set of experiences.  Fortunately, Chinese Medicine has successfully treated symptoms like hot flashes, dizziness, palpitations, hair thinning, irritability, depression, forgetfulness, vaginal dryness, night sweats, insomnia, weight gain, and incontinence for many hundreds of years.  Our main goal at Many Lives is to see our patients experience relief and balance in their lives, so they are free to focus on the beauty and many enjoyments their journey brings.
