Take the QuizIn TCM, PMS is most commonly attributed to Liver Qi Stagnation, which disrupts the smooth flow of energy and blood before menstruation. This can manifest as irritability, breast tenderness, bloating, and mood swings. Treatment focuses on moving Liver Qi, regulating the menstrual cycle, and balancing emotions through acupressure, herbal teas, and dietary adjustments.
Yes. TCM views menopause as a natural decline in Kidney Yin and Essence. Common patterns include Kidney Yin Deficiency (hot flashes, night sweats) and Kidney Yang Deficiency (coldness, fatigue). Treatment aims to nourish Kidney Yin, clear deficiency heat, and restore balance through herbs, cooling foods, and acupressure points such as Taixi (KD3) and Sanyinjiao (SP6).
The most effective acupressure points for period pain include Sanyinjiao (SP6) on the inner lower leg, which regulates menstruation; Hegu (LI4) on the hand, which moves blood and relieves pain; and Guanyuan (CV4) on the lower abdomen, which warms the uterus. Apply gentle pressure for 2-3 minutes on each point during cramps.
TCM can support a healthy pregnancy, but caution is essential. Some herbs and acupressure points are contraindicated during pregnancy, particularly points like Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Hegu (LI4), which can stimulate uterine contractions. Always consult with both your OB-GYN and a licensed TCM practitioner before using any herbs or acupressure during pregnancy.
TCM recommends foods that nourish Blood and Yin for hormonal balance. These include black beans, goji berries, Chinese yam, black sesame seeds, walnuts, and dark leafy greens. Avoid excessive cold or raw foods, which can weaken the Spleen and disrupt digestion. Warm, cooked meals with ginger and dates are especially beneficial for menstrual health.
TCM approaches fertility by strengthening Kidney Essence (Jing), nourishing Blood, and regulating the menstrual cycle. Treatment typically involves a combination of herbal formulas, dietary therapy, acupressure, and lifestyle adjustments. TCM emphasizes preparing the body for conception over 3-6 months, addressing underlying imbalances such as Kidney Yang Deficiency or Blood Stagnation.
Yes. TCM considers the postpartum period (the first 40 days, or 'golden month') critical for recovery. Treatment focuses on replenishing Qi and Blood lost during childbirth, warming the body, and supporting lactation. Bone broth, ginger, dates, and warm congees are recommended. Acupressure points like Zusanli (ST36) help restore energy, while avoiding cold foods and wind is emphasized.
Beneficial TCM herbal teas for women include rose tea (moves Liver Qi, eases PMS mood swings), dong quai tea (nourishes Blood, regulates menstruation), goji berry tea (nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin), and ginger-date tea (warms the uterus, eases cramps). Choose teas based on your specific pattern — warm teas for cold patterns and cooling teas for heat patterns.
