Acupuncture treatment for endometriosis can help.....

Endometriosis has had some press lately. It affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age.

It is a condition where cells similar to those that line the uterus grow in other areas of your body, especially around your ovaries and uterus. One of my clients experienced it in her lungs.

It affects women differently. However, pain is a common symptom, often related to the location of the tissue.

Current endometriosis treatments do not always provide symptom relief.

There are various treatments available that can either complement your medical treatment or are an alternative to medical treatment with;

"The most popular are traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and herbal preparations".

Further, this systematic review and meta-analysis: Acupuncture for endometriosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis included six studies totalling 331 participants were included. The conclusion?

"Acupuncture treatment for endometriosis demonstrated clinically relevant improvements in pelvic pain and should be considered as a potential treatment intervention".

Keep in mind that TCM, the herbal preparations and acupuncture, like all interventions have limitations and research is ongoing.

Is it right for me? Will the herbs interfere with any prescription medications I am taking?

Again, do not rely on here say or social media, rather;

Have that conversation with an educated, trained and experienced practitioner.
