PMS (Chinese Medicine Infographic)

I just had to share the above link! It beautifully represents how acupuncture works on PMS. Many thanks to licensed acupuncturist, Patricia Kowal for putting this together.

Here’s a quick run down:

  1. 85% of women experience PMS.

  2. PMS symptoms range from physical symptoms to psychological symptoms

  3. It isn’t a fun ride to be on every month

  4. It usually goes away as soon as the period start or can be ongoing and even occur after

  5. There are different reasons as to why PMS occurs in some women

  6. Stress

  7. Too much cold in the body

  8. Too much heat in the body

  9. Physical exhaustion

  10. and more

  11. Acupuncturists recognize the myriad of reasons as to why PMS occurs and customize treatments to each individual’s pattern

  12. PMS is seen as a symptom of another dysfunction in the body

  13. Herbal formulas may be given on a case by case basis to supplement acupuncture treatments.

I hope you enjoyed the infographic as much as I did.
