🌙 Absent Periods in Chinese Medicine

In Chinese medicine, your period is like a monthly report card on your health. When periods go missing, it often shows that the body’s energy has been drained, not just by internal imbalances, but by the way we live.

✨ Too much stress tightens the flow of Qi.
✨ Sugar, rushed meals, or poor diet weaken the Spleen.
✨ Overwork, late nights, and pushing the body too hard deplete the Kidneys.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can gently restore balance, but lifestyle is just as important. Rest, nourishment, and emotional balance are all powerful steps to bringing your cycle back into harmony.

Your body is always responding to how you live and your cycle reflects that story.

🌱Preparing Your Body for the Journey

You don’t have to be struggling to conceive to try acupuncture.

In fact, some of the most powerful results come from preparing your body months before you start trying.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we focus on:
✨ Nourishing your Blood & Qi
✨ Regulating cycles & hormones
✨ Reducing stress and calming the nervous system
✨ Supporting digestion & nutrient absorption
✨ Balancing Yin & Yang for optimal fertility

Think of it as fertility foundations, building a healthy environment so conception can happen more smoothly when the time is right.

💖 Whether you’re planning for pregnancy soon or just want your reproductive health at its best, acupuncture can be a gentle, supportive step.

🌿 Chinese Medicine View on nurturing the body. This is particularly important during your preconception stage and during pregnancy.

1. Diet
• In TCM, food is considered medicine.
• Warm, cooked foods support the Spleen and Stomach, which transform food into Qi and Blood.
• Seasonal eating helps harmonise with nature, e.g., cooling foods in summer, warming foods in winter.
• Avoid excessive raw, cold, or greasy foods which can weaken digestion.

2. Sleep
• Sleep replenishes Yin and Blood, calming the Shen (mind/spirit).
• The Liver restores Blood during sleep, particularly between 11 pm–3 am.
• Poor sleep disrupts Heart and Kidney balance, leading to fatigue and emotional instability.

3. Exercise
• Gentle, regular movement moves Qi and Blood without exhausting Yin.
• Over-exercising can deplete Essence (Jing) and weaken Kidney energy.
• Movement should match your constitution and season - lighter in summer, gentler in winter.

4. Rest
• Rest in TCM means both physical and mental stillness, allowing Yin to nourish Yang.
• Short pauses in the day prevent Qi stagnation and overuse of the Heart and Spleen.
• True rest restores Jing (Essence) and supports longevity.

5. Mindset
• Emotional balance is key for smooth Qi flow — worry harms the Spleen, anger the Liver, fear the Kidneys, grief the Lungs, and overjoy the Heart.
• Practices like meditation, breathwork, and acupuncture help calm the Shen and regulate emotions.
• Cultivating gratitude and presence aligns the Heart and Mind.
