Treating Endometriosis  with Traditional Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine offers a holistic approach to treating endometriosis, a condition where the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. This leads to painful and heavy periods, among other symptoms. According to Chinese medicine, endometriosis is caused by an imbalance in the body’s vital energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”) and blood flow.

One of the primary treatment methods used in Chinese medicine for endometriosis is acupuncture. Treatment involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. Acupuncture is believed to help regulate the body’s Qi and blood flow. It helps reduce inflammation, alleviate pain and improve overall reproductive health.

Another treatment method commonly used in Chinese medicine is herbal medicine. It is essential that herbal medicine should be used under the guidance of a qualified practitioner such as Jianshu Cheng, as some herbs can interact with medications and cause adverse effects.

While Chinese medicine may not be a cure for endometriosis, it can be a valuable tool in managing symptoms and improving overall reproductive health.
