Endometriosis
A natural, effective solution for Endometriosis pain!
Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune condition in which the endometrial lining is found outside of the uterus. It is also a common reason women experience pelvic pain or fertility difficulties. While women with silent endometriosis never experience any symptoms, yet face challenges when trying to conceive and are often diagnosed with "unexplained infertility”.
Conventional treatment of endometriosis involves medication and surgery, but the condition can come back as they don't actually fix the root cause. Endometriosis is likely to remain problematic because of the side effects associated with the chronic administration of painkillers and hormonal treatments as well as the high recurrence rate after surgical procedures."
Fortunately, Chinese medicine offers natural, non-invasive and highly effective treatment options for endometriosis sufferers or those struggling with infertility
Acupuncture for endometriosis
Acupuncture works by releasing beta-endorphins and enkephalins (which produce a natural morphine-like effect), improving blood flow to the pelvis to reduce the size of endometrial masses, calming the nervous system to alleviate stress, and regulating healthy hormone function. Additionally, acupuncture boosts fertility and can double your chances of conceiving. Because there are so many benefits and no negative side-effects, acupuncture has become a popular treatment method for patients with endometriosis.
Acupuncture is more effective than the drug mifepristone to provide a great relief for most of the symptoms of endometriosis, including: chronic pain, insomnia, tiredness, and depression.
Chinese herbal medicine for endometriosis
Chinese herbal medicine is an effective alternative to endometriosis drugs and surgery without side-effects, it works by treating the underlying root cause ( poor blood flow) to prevent reoccurrence. Specific herbs are used to relieve pelvic pain, improve blood flow, dissolve abdominal masses, move stagnant blood, warm the uterus, regulate the menstrual cycle, and alleviate PMS symptoms. Chinese herbal medicine can be used as a stand alone treatment or in conjunction with acupuncture or conventional treatment.
The aim of Chinese medicine for endometriosis is to treat the whole patient, not just the symptoms. A recommended course of treatment with Chinese herbal medicine is usually taken for a totalof 3 months.
