Do You Suffer From Painful or Unusual Periods?

Are they stopping you from living a life you love?

• Are you missing out on making precious memories with family and friends?
• Are you concerned your career path is in jeopardy from required work absences due to pain?
• Do your female colleges think you’re milking that time of the month?
• Are you concerned about your future fertility?

Hi, I’m Rebecca. Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Mumtrepreneur, Founder and Owner of Dharma Health. 

What is the Real Cost of you Ignoring it?       Well, There is Hope!

By now you should have received your free download “8 Natural Ways to Reduce Period Pain”, if not it should be in your inbox soon. It will give you 8 simple strategies to reduce or even eliminate period pain.

So what is the real cost of you just ignoring what your body is trying to tell you? Maybe you are just missing a day of work here and there. Maybe you are missing out on career advancement. Maybe you are missing out on quality time with your family and friends.

But what if it is something more serious? If you are having painful or unusual periods, your body is trying to tell you that it’s not running right! Endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, polycystic ovaries  and sexually transmitted infections can all mess with your menstrual cycle. Left unchecked they can make it difficult to conceive later.

All period pain or irregular cycles should be investigated to rule out any serious conditions.                               Don’t trust Doctor Google!

Could Traditional Chinese Medicine Be The Answer You Have Been Looking For?

Why all the hype? Can Traditional Chinese Medicine really be that good? I don’t know, do you think a fad could really withstand over 2000 years of clinical practice? Why would such an ancient art still be being practiced all over the world if people just didn’t get results? 

“If you listen when our body whispers, you never have to hear it scream” Chinese Proverb 

Traditional Chinese Medicine takes an holistic approach to well being (meaning your body is one piece), it does not like to segment the body the way western medicine does. Thus creating results that western medicine can not explain or understand the mechanism of in their current model of investigation. 

Progress is Impossible Without Change, and Those Who Can Not Change Their Minds,     Can Not Change Anything.

– George Bernard Shaw

So What Can They Prove That Traditional Chinese Medicine Can Do!

Just simply tapping on certain acupuncture points can lower cortisol levels (stress hormone). 

National Institutes of Health (NIH) studies have shown that acupuncture is an effective treatment alone or in combination with conventional therapies to treat the following: Nausea caused by surgical anesthesia and cancer chemotherapy, Dental pain after surgery, Addiction, Headaches, Menstrual cramps, Tennis elbow, Fibromyalgia, Myofascial pain, Osteoarthritis, Low back pain, Carpal tunnel syndrome,  Asthma and it may also help with stroke rehabilitation.

The provable list is growing every day – Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about bring the body back into a state of balance, so really its not surprising just what it can do.

Johns Hopkins Medicine says that the following conditions that may benefit from acupuncture: 

Digestive: Gastritis, Irritable bowel syndrome, Hepatitis, Hemorrhoids. Emotional: Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, Nervousness, Neurosis.  Gynecological: Menstrual pain, Infertility. Eye-Ear-Throat: Rhinitis, Sinusitis, Sore throat. Musculoskeletal: Arthritis, Back pain, Muscle cramping, Muscle pain and weakness, Neck pain, Sciatica. Neurological: Headaches, Migraines, Neurogenic bladder dysfunction, Parkinson’s disease, Postoperative pain, Stroke. Respiratory: Allergic rhinitis, Sinusitis, Bronchitis. Miscellaneous: Irritable bladder, Prostatitis, Male infertility, Some forms of impotence & Addiction.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is Not Just Acupuncture

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a beautiful art that does not just include acupuncture. TCM involves all the the senses for diagnosis. Sight, smell, touch, sound and taste are all used as diagnostic tools by the practitioner for the patient’s diagnosis. Practitioners may also look at the tongue, the pulse is taken and assessed in different ways. Treatment can include massage, moxibuston, cupping and herbs.

Do you…….

• Suffer from Abdominal and Low back pain? Either just before your period, or during? Possibly even after your period or mid-cycle?
• Get Regular Headaches?Can you pin point what might trigger your headaches? Could they be related to your cycle? Could they be related to your stress levels or your diet?
• Have Painful Breasts?Do they get swollen, sore or lumpy at different times of your cycle?

• Struggle with Neck & Shoulder Tension?Do you feel like you shoulders are up around your ears? And the more stressed you get the tighter they feel as the tension creeps up over your head?
• Experience Mood Swings?Do you or your loved ones find you more difficult around the lead up or “that time of the month”? Are you quick to get frustrated or angry? Do you just have a harder time dealing with your emotions at certain times of your cycle?

These symptoms do NOT HAVE to be endured  – You do not have to suffer your way though life!

“When You Change The Way You Look At Things The Things You Look at Change”

– Wayne Dyer

Keep onething in mind: Traditional Chinese Medicine has been treating these issues for millennia. I first discovered how powerful TCM was when I was studying, I too suffered greatly from period pain and accompanying symptoms.  Chinese medicine was my solution. 

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses a Holistic Approch

Unlike western medicine, TCM looks at the body as a whole, “one piece”, it does not segment it. And by treating the whole body, not just a symptom, miraculous things can start to happen. Its not uncommon for patients to report that all sorts of other things including mind and body begin to improve also.

Effects and mechanisms of acupuncture in the reproductive system

We should not ignore the fact that many women with reproductive disorders, and in particular women with PCOS, use acupuncture. Clinical and experimental evidence demonstrates that acupuncture can be a suitable alternative or complement to pharmacological induction of ovulation, without adverse side effects. Clearly, acupuncture modulates endogenous regulatory systems, including the sympathetic nervous system, the endocrine system, and the neuro-endocrine system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a time honoured practice over 5000 years in the making. Using a holistic healing approach it combines: 

•Acupuncture

•Electro-Acupuncture

•Cupping

•Moxibustion

•Reiki

•Massage (Tui Na -Chinese remedial massage) •Herbal formulas

What should I expect from my initial consultation?

First a detailed history is taken, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture is a holistic therapy unlike western medicine we do not segment the body, it is taken as a whole, it is all connected, so some questions may seem strange at the time, but are used to help diagnose what is happening in your body. We also like to look at your tongue and take your pulse.

A treatment plan is then made and explained, then with your consent of the methods to be used, we take the first step to finding a better you.

Most times you will be given homework to help build momentum to get you better quicker.

How many treatments will I need?

It will depend on why you came in, what state your body is in when we start, and what you do to help yourself at home. We need to build healing momentum at the start so treatments would usually be twice a week, as you show improvement, treatments get further apart. The more homework you do, the quicker this happens.

Are the needles sterile?

Very fine sterile, stainless-steel, single-use disposable needles are used. 

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is the art and practice of inserting very fine hair-like sterile acupuncture needles into the skin to stimulate acupuncture points to create a therapeutic healing response. Acupuncture points are stimulated to encourage your body to come back to a place of balance, to help your body restore its health and prevent disease in the future.

Will the needles hurt? 

Usually you will feel some pressure from the needle cover before the needle is inserted, insertion is most times painless! When the acupuncture point is stimulated it is common to feel a warm radiating sensation from the point.

How will it feel?

Acupuncture can produce many responses it can be relaxing, calming, soothing, or invigorating.

Will my Consultation be covered by my private Health?

Yes.

Providing you have cover for extras, you will get a rebate on your private health.

In fact in most cases you will be able to claim on the spot and just pay the gap.
