Period pain isn’t ‘normal’, it’s your body’s way of showing that something is out of balance.
In TCM, painful periods are often linked to Qi (energy) or Blood not moving smoothly, cold settling in the uterus, or underlying imbalances within the body.
Stress, too many cold or raw foods, not dressing warmly enough, and overworking can all contribute to this pattern.
Acupuncture helps ease cramping by improving circulation to the pelvis, moving stagnation, relaxing the uterus, calming inflammation and supporting the nervous system.
Moxa, a gentle heat therapy using the herb Mugwort, warms deeply within the body. It’s especially helpful for period pain that feels cold, tight or gripping, bringing warmth and softness back to the lower belly.
With regular treatment and lifestyle support, many people find their periods become less painful, with fewer clots, less bloating and steadier moods over time.
